"Exceptions are included in the proposal for transfers between family members, while the parties are hunting or sport shooting, for emergency self-defense and some other circumstances."

Friend and I go hunting. He/she uses one of my firearms. Everything is fine with the law.

Following weekend we plan on hunting again. This time I can't make it and he/she asks if they can borrow that same rifle. If I let he/she borrow it a crime has been committed.

To legally do this the two of us now have to go to a licensed dealer, get a background check and pay the transfer fee. After hunting, to get my firearm back legally we have to visit the dealer again, get a background check and pay another transfer fee.

Seems kind of dumb.
