Make sure they sign a Bill of Lend!
What does she look like?Wife has some co-workers we’ve become friends with.
He loves guns, always wants to go to the range. Has some experience with shooting Glocks.
She’s very anti-gun.
They called us yesterday.
Asked if they could borrow a gun.
I’m on the fence but will likely let them borrow one.

Calling BS on that.
If a couple is directly opposed over a fundamental right, there's no telling what else they disagree on. Pour in a liberal dose of Covid scare and you may well find their relationship is incredibly fragile <--- take that for whatever it may mean.Wife has some co-workers we’ve become friends with.

Your last statement is correct, of course.My buddy had a troublesome brother that got a hole of his pistol and it got taken by a cop and is under investigation. My point is, even if the owner doesn’t get in trouble. Your gun is still in a police evidence locker

Anyone legal to own in Texas can buy one and legally carry in their glove box (auto) without any training. So the argument that if you loan one you should train too is false.
Lemme help you narrow down the facts....He loves guns...

Hence my question;Lemme help you narrow down the facts....
Remember, bad experiences come from bad judgement.
So a gun store is liable if you (legally able to own a gun) misuse it? That may be true in CT but I don't think so in Texas. Now anyone can sue but I don't think that is an issue. I said in my post that I personally would not loan a gun. Incidentally New Jersey gov just closed NICS in that state so the only way to get a gun now is to loan it (illegal there) or steal one (illegal of course).It is not false.
You sell/loan a gun and it gets misused, there is risk of a jury finding you liable.

Training someone to whom you loan a gun (assuming they are not trained) is personal responsibility on your part and caring about the person to whom you loaned.Anyone legal to own in Texas can buy one and legally carry in their glove box (auto) without any training. So the argument that if you loan one you should train too is false. On the other hand I did teach my daughter and grandson proper firearm techniques and I gifted them guns. I personally wouldn't loan a gun, I carry concealed for me and mine only. You want protection that a firearm gives, buy, train, get a LTC, etc.
