To a friend there is nothing I own I wouldn't let them use - firearm, vehicle, whatever. It's only stuff.
Yes....I agree and often envy how it is to live in your neck of the woods..........people where you live are more honest and brotherly. You probably still don't lock your doors. Everybody waves at everybody even if you don't know them. I've been in those areas of the country and ponder sometimes, "this is how people should be". You may have one bad apple per small town. I wish it was like that here and it was, when I grew up in the late fifties, early sixties.
Here in southeast Pa. people have got nasty and if you don't start putting up barriers, you will get eat up in a heartbeat. I even had to put up driveway barriers because strangers would just "drive on up" to the house, banging on the door, pretending to ask directions or other b.s....when you tell them what they want, they just turn their back and drive out, often driving on your lawn because they are too lazy to back up. It has got so bad that family members sue one another....people staging accidents to collect ins., people bringing charges on one another claiming bodily harm or mental anguish.
Probably why I won't let anyone get close to me anymore....before you know it, you get a lawsuit thrown at you looking for an easy payout. I stopped loading ammo for people. I see my "friends" at the gunclub, then go home, not wanting anybody to follow me home. That's why I don't loan anybody anything anymore. MY gun, chainsaw, tractor, etc will somehow develop a maintenance issue that caused THEM an injury.
NDcowboy......feel fortunate where you live...and I'm sure you do.----6
