Firearms may be loaned for periods not to exceed how many days?

• A. 30 days
• B. 50 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

The maximum period for loaning firearms is fifty days. This limit is set to maintain tight control and accountability, ensuring firearms are not out with subject to extended possession without review, and that they’re returned in a timely manner for inspection, maintenance, and reallocation. Loans should be properly documented and authorized, with secure storage and prompt return at the end of the period; if more time is needed, an approved extension must be obtained through the proper channel.

Shorter than the maximum (thirty days) is permissible but not the limit, while longer periods (sixty or ninety days) exceed the allowed maximum.
