Thread: 3 things you never lend out....

1. Chainsaw
2. Wife
3. Firearms

A person I know who is not a hunter, but was going on a hunting trip with work mates wanted to borrow a rifle for the trip.
Person works with firearms every week (NZDF) but doesnt hold a FAL.

Person said to me, that because his mates have FAL and will be carrying rifles, it will be fine that I lend one of my toys out.
However, correct me if I'm wrong, person can use a firearm with a FAL supervisor, but supervisor must not carry, and be within arms length for the "direct supervison" to be applied.


I ofcourse, did not lend out any toys, mainly because I dont lend them out unless its someone I know in my hunting group who might be range testing etc.
Secondly, because as I understand it was illegal.
Questions would have be raised about transport to the location where they were leaving from. Assuming 'person' was going to drive themself to the location, what questions would be asked by the Fuzz had 'person' got pulled over or had a traffic accident or vehicle was stolen etc.


I had texted two close hunting buddies about this, and they agreed that I had done the right thing.

Thoughts?
What would you do?
