Loaned a G19 and G26 to close friends for a CHL class last Saturday.
Got my guns back today and went to put them back where they belong and found a G19 and a S&W M&P9. Texted them a picture and they said shit, they'll call range tomorrow. I called range and he says other people teach classes there. Call instructor A. I called instructor A. He said he taught 9:30 AM class, not 10:00 AM and didn't have these students. I called borrowers and they said the took class with instructor B, and that instructor B loaned several guns and all people that took the class know each other. I called instructor B and he says his assistant probably collected X guns and that he had loaned several out. He does have an M&P, and he does not loan a G26. Said he was 100% certain he'd find mine when he went to the range in the next two days and he'll bring it to my work. He is local SWAT. Borrowers are/were certified Obamabots, though they did watch the Republican debates this year, and the male is a Fudd. I'm happy they are getting the CHLs, and even considering evil child killing handguns, though I'm not sure they will carry. :) I was worried for a minute...  Hope I get my gun back. I have no dog to shoot.  |

If somebody asks you for a gun tell him to go buy one

Well I must be in for a massive rape. I offered to loan a very conservative family member a gun until he can buy a decent CCW gun.

I am 100% certain they would buy me a replacement if it was indeed lost. I will be sure to report back with the outcome, however. |

take a pic of the friend holding the item before they leave with it. many people loose friends over not returning stuff. most of the time they forget about the item and that is the end of it. I had a few friends fuss about the pic but they can have their pic taken with the item or simply not borrow it. this gives you proof you loaned it. proof the day the borrowed it. proof of what shape the gun was. also, if you loan out lots of stuff you can forget who you loaned it to and actually loose the item forever! this also helps with the double loaned item. a friend borrowed my paint gun and loaned it to another guy, this guy died, then friend would not ask widoow for paint gun back for me. I wasn't going to ask widow with no proof it was mine to begin with. Take a pic!

1st rule of loaning a gun to anyone, make sure they are not complete fucking morons. After reading I did notice the word OfuckingBama or FBHO so that in itself would have disqualified them from being loaned even a fucking tooth pick.

I have 5 people on this planet that if they asked for a gun I would say yes, and I will get it back when I get it back.
This is why I have lots of guns, if they are true friends they will find your gun. Good Luck |

I only have a few friends that ask me for a gun to borrow to shoot and see if they like it, that I trust. Others I tell to give me the cost of the gun,so in case anything happens, it is now their gun.

I wouldn't loan out any of my guns unless it was an emergency situation, I knew that person VERY well, and with the rule in place that nobody else touches the gun. Guns aren't cheap.
When you loaned him that G26 it wasn't for the rest of the class to handle and get mixed in with everyone else's guns or in a box of loaners. |
