Is it legal for another person to use a licensed firearm if they are under the licensee's immediate supervision and for a lawful purpose?

• A. Yes, under immediate supervision and for a lawful purpose.
• B. Yes, but only if the other person is a family member.
• C. No, it is never allowed.
• D. Only with police approval.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a licensed firearms holder may allow another person to use their firearm if the user is under the licensee’s immediate supervision and the activity has a lawful purpose. The licensee remains responsible for safety and control, and must be able to intervene if needed. This isn’t limited to family members, and there’s no separate requirement for police approval for each use. The option that says it’s never allowed ignores the supervision framework, so it isn’t correct.
