VIOLATION OF STATE LAW PUTS THE CLUB AT RISK FROM BOTH A LEGAL AND LIABILITY STANDPOINT AND WILL NOT BE PERMITTED
Attention!
If you have any contact with minors and handguns you better become
acquainted with this section of Iowa Law! Ignorance of the law is
no excuse!
Below is Section 724.22 of the Iowa Code:724.22 PERSONS UNDER TWENTY-ONE -- SALE, LOAN, GIFT, MAKING AVAILABLE -- POSSESSION.
1. Except as provided in subsection 3, a person who sells, loans, gives, or makes available a rifle or shotgun or ammunition for a rifle or shotgun to a minor commits a serious misdemeanor for a first offense and a class "D" felony for second and subsequent offenses.
2.
Except as provided in subsections 4 and 5, a person who sells, loans,
gives, or makes available a pistol or revolver or ammunition for a
pistol or revolver to a person below the age of twenty-one commits a
serious misdemeanor for a first offense and a class "D" felony for
second and subsequent offenses.
3. A parent, guardian, spouse who is eighteen years of age or older, or another with the express consent of the minor's parent or guardian or spouse who is eighteen years of age or older may allow a minor to possess a rifle or shotgun or the ammunition therefor which may be lawfully used.
4. A person eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years of age may possess a firearm and the ammunition therefor while on military duty or while a peace officer, security guard or correctional officer, when such duty requires the possession of such a weapon or while the person receives instruction in the proper use thereof from an instructor who is twenty-one years of age or older.
5. A parent or guardian or spouse who is twenty-one years of age or older, of a person fourteen years of age but less than twenty-one may allow the person to possess a pistol or revolver or the ammunition therefor for any lawful purpose while under the direct supervision of the parent or guardian or spouse who is twenty-one years of age or older, or while the person receives instruction in the proper use thereof from an instructor twenty-one years of age or older, with the consent of such parent, guardian or spouse.
Paragraph 5 states that the minor must be under direct supervision of their parent or guardian in order to possess a handgun or ammo for one with only one exception: that is for instruction by a certified instructor, with parental consent. That is what the consent form does that is used for the SPP program and our Junior Program and why the instructors are certified.
That means you can’t just hand your responsibility to another adult. As long as you are with them everything is fine but without your presence you are likely in violation of state law. They are also in violation for “unlawful possession of a handgun by a minor”.
Read paragraph 2: It specifies the penalties for you for violating the law. It moves to felony very quickly.
Obviously, violation of State law puts the club at risk and puts you in violation of club rules which carries with it permanent revocation of membership.
