(c) A temporary transfer of possession of a firearm if such transfer is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to the person to whom the firearm is transferred if: (i) The temporary transfer only lasts as long as immediately necessary to prevent such imminent death or great bodily harm; and (ii) The person to whom the firearm is transferred is not prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law;
Your friend has an ex-husband that's been threatening her...Your son has to work in a bad part of town...your daughter's apartment has been broken into; are any of these cases in harm of "iminent death"?
