It's been a long time since I was a full-time resident of PA (the .mil will do that to you), but I still maintain my PADL and PA LTCF.

What are the rules for loaning handguns out among lawful citizens?  From what I recall, as long as you have a valid LCTF, you can be loaned a handgun.  Is this still correct?

Thanks.

Basically the person you are loaning a pistol to, must not be a prohibited person and must posses a LTCF. For long arms I believe the person you are loaning to cant not be a prohibited person, but thats it. Double check the laws someone posted above my post.
