Say I have my CCW... Is it legal to carry your brothers gun or dads gun on you?

In my state the CCW permit applies to the individual, not to a specific weapon.  So, yes, you could carry your relatives guns instead of your own.  I'd check your state laws just to be sure.

In my state you can carry any gun you lawfully possess. You don't have to actually own it.

When I lived in NY and had a PA CCW, there was no requirement for which firearm you carried as you CCW piece.

I could have sworn that some states list the make, model, and serial number of the gun you qualified with on your permit.  I could be wrong, though... since I'm in a commie state with no CCW until I move.

CA has it on the permits they actually issue.  I believe you have a max of 5 or something too.

Ah-HA!!1!  You're correct!  Nevada handgun law PDF





I was just looking through the commie states at handgunlaw.us to find who had this.  I never thought to check Nevada...



Edit:  Can anyone from one of these states say what the penalties are if you get caught with a gun that isn't on your permit, and if people actually get in trouble for that?

Sure... But the OP lives in PA, which isn't one of those commie states that makes you qualify with a firearm to get your permit.

Yes, I wouldn't have thought that NV would have something stupid like that.  I wonder if that is part of the reason they (NV) are no longer recognizing Utah's permits?

They stopped recognizing Florida permits as well, their stated reason?

Florida permits are now good for seven years rather than five.

NV does that.  Really stupid in my opinion.

NV claims that the reason they dropped our CWL is because we don't require a live fire exercise in our issue process.

Just so long as your father and mother aren't brother and sister (except for LA, AL, & MS.. where that's perfectly acceptable)

Yes we have to shoot and qualify with any simi auto hand gun we carry. The funny part is that if you qualify with a revolver you can then carry any revolver.  

The reason they no longer recognize a Utah or Florida permit is that you don't do any shooting to qualify you to carry. It is stupid I know

So what's the difference with a semi auto and a revolver?  Why one you have to stick to that piece and one allows you to pick and choose?

Second cousin once removed and evil stepmother, that's how I understand the wording of the law in MN.
No, seriously, the permit is issued to an individual only, not a person and a firearm with such-and-so a serial number.  It's in you posession, you can carry it.

Huh?





The reason for the FL drop is due to changing the renewal length from 5 to 7 years.





Florida requires witnessed discharge unless you qualify via paperwork... i.e. DD-214.





790.06 states:





7.  Completion of any firearms training or safety course or class
conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association certified
firearms instructor;






A photocopy of a certificate of completion of any of the
courses or classes; or an affidavit from the instructor, school, club,
organization, or group that conducted or taught said course or class
attesting to the completion of the course or class by the applicant; or
a copy of any document which shows completion of the course or class or
evidences participation in firearms competition shall constitute
evidence of qualification under this paragraph; any person who conducts
a course pursuant to subparagraph 2., subparagraph 3., or subparagraph
7., or who, as an instructor, attests to the completion of such
courses, must maintain records certifying that he or she observed the
student safely handle and discharge the firearm;

The guy who runs the legislature thinks semi-autos are too complicated, so you have to qualify with each one (by make and model, serial numbers are not required), and have it listed on your permit.  Revolvers used to be the same way, that was changed last year, semi-autos are next.

It's a felony to carry a gun that's not listed on your permit in NV.

PA has restrictions on FTF transfers of handguns with some exceptions for family members. The question is "Does PA restrict the "loaning" or temporary
transfer of a handgun to another PA resident to carry concealed on
his/her person".

This.



I don't know of any state that requires a specific gun or guns to be tied to your CCW.  The only restriction I know of is in Texas, if you take the test with a revolver, you can only carry a revolver.  If you take it with an auto, you can carry either.  



Doesn't matter who owns the gun.

I like to just wear my holster without a pistol for CCW and leave it home. It's lighter that way.

If I recall, in PA you can lend a handgun to a non-family member only if they have a License to Carry Firearms.

In NY you can only carry a handgun that is registered on your pistol  license. In some NY counties it's possible to cross-register a handgun on more than one license.
