15. I read all 16 pages of the law

and it appears the chart is accurate.

Yes a spouse/domestic partner is exempt and you can let someone else shoot your gun at a licensed firing range.

However if I was on a friend's property and we were shooting targets and he asked to try my gun, according to the link and the flowchart we would be guilty of at least a gross misdemeanor unless we get a background check completed.

Actually the way the law is written, it would be an equal offense to let an adult child shoot the gun unless it was being given as a gift (a "temporary" gift would not be bona fide so therefore illegal), we are at a range or competition or hunting. The chart correctly reflects this as well.

Edit> actually I read it wrong and found the error on the flowchart. Per Sec 3 (4) (f) (ii) letting another adult shoot my gun, even on an established range would be illegal unless I always keep the gun at that range or we are practicing for a competition.
