"Can I borrow your..."

[SNCaliber]

tell him no and HELL no, its one thing to let them shoot your guns, but not when youre not even present

[Ubermcoupe]

My guns stick with me and I stick with my guns.

The only person that I would lend my firearms to without me being present would be my old man and that’s because he shoots better than I do.

21 y/o cousin? Forgetaboutit!

Nope, tell him tough luck and think harder before asking stupid questions. I've never loaned my guns before, never will.

I'm gonna let him know, and that he should buy his own freakin' ammo. I'm sure he's gonna bring some BS on how his friend's dad allowed his his friend to bring this and that.

Ask him if you can borrow that girl for a test drive. I'll assume the answer would be the same.

[dvlsadvc8]

I had a pretty good idea that it was most likely gonna be "hell no". Now I can show him my post when he asks why 😁

And yes, I will give him directions to Ammo Bros if he asks me about ammo again. Don't people know how much ammo cost nowadays?

I'll try that before telling him no 😝

Hmmmm

Only my brother............anyone else, HELL NO!

[Mr310]

It's like when people ask to "borrow" a piece of paper or tissue, or cigarette (that's if you smoke.)


Yeah, like you're gonna return it to me.

Anyways, I'd lend mine to my parents, girl, and Uncle without my being there. That's it until I have a kid. Then when they're old enough, they can take anything they want except my Dan Wesson.

Two things you never lend out:
1) Guns
2) Girls

Money too

My friend who's basically like my brother lets me borrow his shotgun. But I make it a point to clean it and promptly return it after the range trip.

That being said I'm sure he'd let me borrow his Beretta as I'm more experienced than him and more careful.

However, I dont think id let him borrow my Beretta thats comped. Maybe the glock and shotgun if I had one.

Everyone else, the answer is no.

[lilro]

No. And I'd DEFINITELY not hand a gun over to someone I've never seen shoot before. If you can't go along and they can't pay for ammo, it would be a no from me. I understand as a guy in my young 20's that he doesn't want a "babysitter" to tag along while he tries to impress girls, but guns are very expensive and very serious.

[dls]

Not with out a deposit.

I would not hesitate to say No, I am not comfortable with that. But if you buy the ammo I will go with you and let you try them out.

[geeknow]

Yes, Ive loaned guns on two occasions. In both cases, it was to LE buddies who were in the market for that particular gun, and wanted to 'test drive' them prior to making a purchase.

Their LE status notwithstanding, I've been out shooting with both of them and felt comfortable with their skill set, etc. Had that not been the case, I would not have done so.

I dont have a 'blanket policy' on these things. I take them on a case by case basis.

Tell him it's not legal to lend your guns... He'll never know! Haha
