Open carrying someone else's firearm?

[punisherprice]

The firearm is registered in Clark county to clear some things up, if any lol. I just wanted to know because carrying at 18 draws attention. Fast. All i need is some rent-a-cop calling the cops with a "man with a gun" and then they dispatch all of metro to detain me. I have yet to have a run-in with the police, so im still nervous about that. I just dont feel that telling them that you do not consent to any search or seizure will send them running....sorry about gettin off topic too.:dude:

Does this "possession" law apply if my wife is carrying my gun or is the "next-of-kin" concept applied?

Yes, registration of an auto or a firearm or generally any other personal property does show "who owns it." But, as I laid out, "the law" refers to who has "title to" it. And I've provided the legal definition of "title to." And "the law" goes on to described "transfer" of "title to." And has the catch-all phrase "any other transfer." Perhaps if such language were in the laws that govern auto registration, then we'd have the same "problem" there.

Hey... I'm not arguing for anyone who borrows a handgun from a friend and open carries it to have to do anything but open carry it. I'm just offering what I believe the "yahoos" will try to jam down the throat of anyone "caught" in that situation. I'm of the firm belief, as someone previously posted, that this registration scheme is the biggest bowl of dog **** ever served up.

You're over thinking it. Really.

I agree the registration thing is poop.

Nope... not over thinking it at all. Just applying legal definitions to words and phrases contained in the County Code. Don't you think that's what the prosecutors and judges would do as well? That is, if a case was ever taken to trial that fit the circumstances we're talking about... a Clark County resident arrested for possession of an unregistered hand gun, that is, one requiring registration pursuant to the County Code. And, seems to me a prosecutor could very well attempt to prosecute a Clark County resident in possession of and open carrying a "friend's" handgun... one having not been registered in Clark County because the "friend" isn't a Clark County resident. Many "stranger" prosecutions have occurred. But again, I wouldn't be at all afraid of being in possession of and open carrying a "friend's" handgun, no matter ANY registration issue. I am aware though, that cops are cops, prosecutors are prosecutors, and judges are judges... so anything can happen. If one thinks otherwise, well... be prepared to be surprised.
