atmosphere0284 Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:01 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:01 PM I'm sorry if this topic has been covered before... I did search "sharing" with no answer to my question. My fiance has a FOID and is soon planning on taking her CCW training so my question is can she use/carry my firearms or is it a better idea that she has her own? I ask because she is already familiar with things that I own from going to the range with me and at this point she doesn't want to spend the money on something new (saving for a wedding).

paulgl26 Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:07 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:07 PM My wife picked hers. She carries a glock 42 and has a bereta px4 with a light for her nightstand Go and rent as many as you can and let her try them. Don't push anything on her (pulling the slide back is a lot harder for girls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec5 Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:08 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:08 PM Doesn't matter at all. There is nothing in the law that says you have to carry a firearm that you own. BTW once married it is marital property so they won't be yours anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't push anything on her (pulling the slide back is a lot harder for girls)We have rented many many firearms and she prefers to shoot my 4" 1911. I'd get her one of her own but she wouldnt be happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has her own and found she liked mine better. She brought mine to class. She's since bought one of her own just like it. Nothing wrong with sharing. It's probably a best practice just from the angle of her being familiar with whatever is in the mutual home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find yourself without a firearm then you might have to buy more Similar to other posts I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTX63 Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:37 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 04:37 PM Yep, the FOID isn't a permit to carry a gun you own, just a gun, and as they say "Run what ya brung". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW once married it is marital property so they won't be yours anyway. Technically, would there not be a "hiccup" due to the fact they are not yet married? Legally, I see this as no different than loaning/giving a gun to a friend... which would require a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's sister and her boyfriend, although living together, keeps their firearms separated for legal reasons (neither carries as well). Personally, I don't see the point, they know each other's personal safe combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's sister and her boyfriend, although living together, keeps their firearms separated for legal reasons (neither carries as well). Personally, I don't see the point, they know each other's personal safe combo. I'm not sure what they hope to accomplish with this. You are allowed to use someone else's firearm (with permission). And you are allowed to let someone borrow yours. (Both assuming that neither party is a prohibited person.) I can find no Illinois statute against "loaning" the firearm for a friend to use. I do not see any mention of it in 430 ILCS 65/3(a-10). To the OP: I would suggest having her try your firearms first. And if she prefers a different model / caliber / etc.. then to purchase additional ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has shot, practiced holster draw and even cleaned my firearms... i think there is some personal attachment issues going on here with my 4" 1911.

1242 Lambda Chi Posted February 25, 2015 at 07:34 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 07:34 PM I was under the impression that IL did not require a transfer to let someone borrow a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domin8 Posted February 25, 2015 at 08:08 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 08:08 PM Find out what she likes, then get her a wedding gift. Btw, does Illinois have Common Law Marriage?

She may just get her own i don't know if my heart can take it. I like the pink camo. We were going to get a pink camo shotgun for my wife, until one of our friends made fun of it and convinced her to get a standard faux-wood stock. But if she likes the feel of your firearms, there is absolutely no reason not to share them while you're trying to save up $$, and then purchase new ones (with different grips, etc) once you guys have more money available.

If so, you might already be married in the eyes of the court. No, no "common law marriage" here in IL. Although, if you were "common law married" outside of IL, and then moved here, IL will recognize that. "Common law marriage" has been banned in IL since 1905.

soundguy Posted February 25, 2015 at 10:13 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 10:13 PM I would think it's only a problem if she wants to carry your favorite gun. That might make for a fine excuse to buy a new favorite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell a woman that before you marry her and see what she says. The Car and the House are mine honey but I will let you live in MY house and drive MY car and you know the food in the fridge is mine since I bought it yesterday. Once married it is both of yours because she says so. If married ask you wife if I am right or you. The OP says they plan on getting married not planning on getting a divorce.
