Loaning a weapon

[gmar]

It depends...do they know how to properly use a gun or are they new to firearms?

I'd do it.

Thanks for the input guys.

They are pretty solid people, and I've determined the benefits outweigh the risks. If you can't accept a little risk to help a friend, you're not really friends, are you?

If they were friends, they'd buy a weapon instead of placing you in a situation so awkward and legally scary that you're having to turn to the internet for answers.

Good friends, to put you in a spot like this.

I'd loan my wife before I'd loan one of my guns, and that ain't a tall tale. It's a fact.

Me, too ...

I have loaned guns to family but not anyone else ...

If my life was threatened to the point where I needed to borrow a gun..I'd have bought one.

They are on tenuous financial footing, mostly because of the person that's the problem.

They both know how to handle weapons.

Thanks again for your opinions.

My nephew has been threatened with serious bodily harm and even had his car vandalized (20 lb weight to the windshield) by his ex girlfriends family. His parents started asking about a gun for home defense and I did my best to steer them in the right direction to buy something. Did I loan them one of mine? No.
