Lending a Friend your Shotgun for Duck Hunting

Recommended Posts

Seems like everyone has the same question... LOL. Here's another thread:

 

http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/84129-borrowing-a-handgun-from-a-nj-resident-for-a-range-trip/#entry1077280

 

I'm not sure if there's a diff whether it's handgun or long gun. Folks more knowledgeable than me will weigh in if I sent you to the wrong thread!

It would be a temporary transfer which requires you to be present for the duration and can be for no more than 8 hours in a 24 hour period.

 

If you are not going to be on the hunt there is an alternative:

 

If you both have FPID cards and you are both NJ residents you could do a full transfer by filling in COE forms and the shotgun would then be his. There is no law saying you can't do a full transfer back again on Friday.

NJ 2C:58-3.1

 

A shotgun may be transferred to another properly licensed person for hunting in NJ if done where you are hunting and the shotgun is legal for hunting and you are within the presence of the party hunting.  

 

If you want to be 100% covered or you are not going to be with him, then 2 copies, one each, of a COE transfers ownership to him. When he returns it, COE copy back. Don't just destroy them if he has been out of your sight with the gun.  Strange poop happens

 

You realize he is the owner of record when a COE is executed, so he better be a real good buddy.

This is the answer.

 

Remember, he owns the shotgun and he doesn't have to give it back.

 

If he is caught doing something wrong, or god forbid there is an accident, and the shotgun is seized, it's lawfully his shotgun. You have no recourse to recover it and no rights to claim ownership.

 

Like T Bill said, make sure he is a good buddy.
