I need some information on the laws concerning handgun loans in California. According to PC 12082, loans must be completed through a licensed dealer. However, I've found multiple articles stating that infrequent temporary loans not exceding 30 don't require a dealer. can anyone cite the Penal Codes for that exception, if it's actually real?

A friend wants to borrow a handgun from me. I trust him and his ability to use it safely and legally, but I just want to make sure that the transaction is totally legal. If the 30 clause isn't in the law, then I'll have to go trough a dealer.
Thanks

(d) (1) Subdivision (d) of Section 12072 shall not apply to the
infrequent loan of firearms between persons who are personally known
to each other for any lawful purpose, if the loan does not exceed 30
days in duration and, when the firearm is a handgun, commencing
January 1, 2003, the individual being loaned the handgun has a valid
handgun safety certificate.

Here is a good reference:
