From BATF - " A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law."
So, if a loan of a firearm for sporting purposes is a permissible transfer of possession without transfer of ownership, why wouldn't delivery to an FFL which is conditioned upon physical transfer to the buyer be a lawful temporary use and the return of a refused gun to the owner be alright as well since there's been no transfer of ownership?...Geo
Similarly, delivery to an out of State gunsmith for repair without an FFL book transfer is alright under he Gun Control Act. Is this because the real issue is ownership rather than possession? Or, are these examples specific "carve-outs" in the regulations?
