I'm trying to find an MCL or otherwise referencing the carry of a firearm that is registered to somebody else if you do not havea CPL.

I.E. My friend comes with me to an OC event, or to the range, etc, are they unable to carry a pistol registered to me? What about my wife? If I am there in attendance and they are under my 'supervision' wouldn't that remove the need to have a CPL? Or does it read 'possession'. I'm having a lot of trouble finding the exact wording.

Thanks, all I kept finding was the range part w/the supervision thing. Made me think it would carry over into other lawful carry. Obviously I wasn't going to try it out before checking.

You're welcome.

See 750.234f if you have friends, family, etc, who are under 18 years of age and would like to shoot your pistol at the range.

I was recently communicating with MSP about this. I'd asked because all the guns here are in my name, even "her" gun. She's planning on taking a CPL class soon and we'd planned on her using "her" gun (in my name). I just wanted verification on the legality of it. Unfortunately, I was informed that for her to use a gun that, on paper, belongs to me, I'd have to be physically present. Wife or no wife, it's illegal to loan a pistol to a non-CPL holder unless you're physically there.

It IS legal to loan a pistol to another CPL holder. That's how I was educated on the matter.

You must have a CPL to possess/carry someone else's pistol. If you do not have a CPL you can allow someone else who has a CPL to possess or carry your pistol.

The CPL Instructor may not allow you to attend the class but I'm sure he or she will allow you to attend the range portion of the class so the Mrs can possess your pistol.

So you can't just setup a target anywhere on state land (as long as it is safe) and target shoot there?
(b) I think the intent is so that the two or so of you are just not wandering around foolishly shooting at everything in sight. :cool:

Exactly, right. Such is the case.
