Here's what I could find in the order I found it:

Section 159:12
159:12 Sale to Minors. – Any person who shall sell, barter, hire, lend or give to any minor any pistol or revolver shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. This section shall not apply to fathers, mothers, guardians, administrators or executors who give a revolver to their children or wards or to heirs to an estate.

644:15 Furnishing Arms to Persons Under 16. – Any person who shall sell, barter, hire, lend or give to any person under the age of 16 years any cartridges or shotshells suitable for discharging in any rifle, pistol, revolver or shotgun shall be guilty of a violation. This section shall not apply to fathers, mothers or guardians of such children.

From this information I would infer that if your parent or guardian is the property owner, and you have their permission to have a firearm, then you're good to go.

I do not know if this applies to a property owner who is not your parent or guardian. If you stay with your Uncle Dave and he hands you his lawfully owned firearm and tells you to pull fire watch, I do not know if you are still covered.

I am not a lawyer, your mileage may vary, et cetera.
