You are correct. But if that person was charging you for a service, then to be legal they would have to be licensed.

Totally wrong!
Since you will be charging a fee the ATF might consider you a "gunsmith" and I think you would need an FFL to keep it.

The rules of the ATF are if you are taking possession of a firearm and the owner is leaving the premises then you have to have a license, just as a gunsmith does.

To be legal and keep someone else's firearm overnight you have to have a FFL. so now look at it and see if you think the hassles are worth it.
