Lending a firearm out to a trusted friend.

[Hodgie]

Has anyone or would anyone consider lending a firearm out to a friend or neighbor who expressed not feeling safe or being unable to obtain one due to all the issues? I have a few friends that live in the neighborhood across the street none are anti gun they just never had the need or want for one. They all happen to be senior citizens as well in their late 60's to early 70's if that even matters.

We have checked in on them several times, they are all doing well and very stocked and prepared with food and other supplies before any of this nonsense went down. None of them have asked but it was something I was thinking about just in case this get's worse and they do bring it up one day.

Of course this is all assuming they are not a prohibited person.
