4. Not clear if they were transfers or not

My daughters received some firearms as gifts when they were minors. They were all in my name and they used them only under supervision. When they moved out of the house I transferred them to them as adults in a manner required by law. Similarly with the Lanzas, its not clear if there were formal transfers or not, given his age, I suspect not.

Another item that would need to clarified is loaning. If I take someone out to the range and let them shoot something I own, should that require a check? I think not. Same with hunting guns while in the field. However, if they take it home with them etc, that is clearly some sort of transfer. An FOID approach would address much of this.
