Got a call to borrow a gun

[PappyM3]

My wife: 'My friend Linda called today, and her husband wants to borrow a gun from you. He says things are getting scary and he wants some protection.'
Me: 'What did you tell her'?
My wife: 'I said no'. 'Anything else you want me to tell him'?
Me: 'Yes, tell he's a dumbass and I never really liked him anyway'.

You should tell him to sign up for a class and submit his LTC application.

If prefer to keep him as a friend...

Give him one that you can easily replace in case he has to use it,and it ends up with the police for a while.

At least people are waking up.

To such people, becoming more afraid of armed criminals will, in their minds, only ever have one solution--more firearm laws.

 

[oldguy68]

Just give him a "Gun-free zone" sign to hang around his neck!
A can of mace and a rape whistle!

 

[ThePreBanMan]

Tell him the gun stores are still open.

oh come on, don't you have a water pistol he can borrow?

 

[Asaltweapon]

My real friends already own guns.

 

[Zappa]

Got a similar call from a long time friend who is licensed and very level headed. I'm considering it.

If he went through all the BS to get his LTC, why doesn't he already own a gun or two (or 27) ???

Is it one of those deals where his wife refuses to let him keep a gun in the house ???

Want some pepper spray? That's about all I'm willing to part with.

 

[bauer]

What guns?

My brother in law falls under that category. My wife's sister will not let him have anything in the house, so he doesn't own anything. He has not asked to borrow anything. Yet.

I'm in the process of selling a pump shotgun to a friend of mine. He's a first time gun owner. Took him to the club to give him and his wife some safety lessons and training. Using the club ffl for the transfer.......I'm ma he's NH so have to use an ffl. His nics was delayed......have to wait for the calk back. I told him next time you talk with someone that says it's too easy to buy a gun you'll have a story to tell them.

Any legal reasons not to do that?

Licensed and doesn't own a gun? That's nuts lol

That's just lame. Even if he is so dominated by his wife, he could still sneak one in and hide it from her. Jack.

 

[wilson911]

No problem lending it to him. But only if he buys ammo from you. Fifty bucks per round.

 

[mrmike7189]

I couldnt wait to get my LTC . when I turned 21, I went out right away and filled out the papers.(I hit a liquor store first,of course!) Got my first pistol a few months later.

Beta bitches being run by their wives....

I play the game about certain things with her, but when it comes to things surrounding our safety and quality of life... I am the man of the house. She came around to guns and eventually got her license. Now? She says oh my God...I'm so glad we have guns and ammo.

I think "the wife" is a lot of what's going on here.

 

[DPR]

Tell him that you have a rusty pre ban pre Healey Rhrom .22 revolver for $850 cash. Jack.

I’ll give you $900 and we do it with a bill of sale....and a payment plan.

People who are truly level headed wouldn't need to borrow your guns.

Divorce cost him big...

Find a good deal here in the classified and hook him up.
Obviously, avoid a straw purchase, but I'm sure you can think of ways to help him financially with his other obligations.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

Maybe COVID-19 has a silver lining, in making anti's and non-gun owners finally see the logic. Better yet, the few panic-applying now will truly understand how gun ownership is in fact being infringed.

I doubt it.

^^^^This ^^^^^^ feel the pain

This.

Why go through the process, just makes him feel good inside?

 

[whacko]

Ugh

I don't see civil society breaking down over this level of severity. But people are going to be really angry when they discover they cannot get urgently needed medical care as they are accustomed. They just don't know it yet (including some people on this here forum).

Question....

With regard to corona virus what level of urgently needed medical care is actually needed? If your under 60.....and don't have any major health issues your chances of needing urgent care are almost zero. Your gonna get sent home......told to drink plenty of fluids and don't go out till the symptoms are gone.

 

[ISOTOX]

Got the same question from my brother in law in NH...I suggested he not wait and get to his nearest dealer in NH. It has not gotten that bad nor would I expect it to anytime soon that I would be close to loaning him a firearm.

 

[nstassel]

I wouldn't lend a gun. There's no way he's proficient with it. He'll shoot his eye out.
