    Here goes - Wife has awesome gun collection all purchased legally.
    Husband who has never gotten HQL or purchased any firearms, receives training and decides to apply and receives wear and carry permit.
    Any rules regulations or laws prohibiting husband from carrying gun(s) the wife agrees to loan him.


    Correct answers first then the jokes ok.

    No - there’s no requirement you carry your own handgun.

    Now the real question: are we talking 9mm or 45?

    They're married right?

    HQL is only for purchasing guns. Not owning them. Typical internet info here.

    If you win the bet do you get to carry one of your wife's guns?

    In DC the gun you carry must be registered to you. I thought that was true in MD too but I’ll defer to the other posters who say it isn’t a requirement.

    I’ll be lending a member here one of my handguns in the near future to try out. I hope he carries it.

    New York is the same and your firearm must be listed on your permit too.

    HQL is only for punching purchasing guns. Not owning them. Typical internet info here.

    Just to make it as clear as possible:

    The HQL is not required to own or possess a handgun. It is only required to purchase a handgun less than 50 years old. So his lack of an HQL is meaningless.

    Since he has his W&C permit, he can get am HQL free of charge just by applying for it. But he only needs it if he wants to buy a handgun.

    Meanwhile, it is legal to loan handguns, and that loan can be for an indefinite period. So yes, he can carry one of his wife's guns.

    Yes you can carry one of your wife’s guns. HQL is irrelevant. Of course if your wife has guns and you don’t, turn in your man card immediately.
