So my best friend of 25 years calls me saying he's going out of town for a week and would feel better having a gun. He wanted to know if he could borrow a pistol. Since I regularly carry my other hand guns, I agreed to let him borrow my Springfield MC Operator. This guy's been like a brother to me since we were 5 years old and he served our country in Iraq. No cause for concern, right? That week has turned into 2 weeks. On day 8, he assured me he was coming home the next day. Day 10: coming home the next day. Day 11: no answer. Day 12: no answer. Still no answer as I'm typing this. In my research (talking with his family and people who know him), it's been discovered that he's developed a drug dependency (what?). I'm beginning to suspect he never left town. I drove past his gf's house and she's clearly home (he claimed she went with him). His car is in his driveway but no one answers. He's probably staying at her house. This all is just mind-boggling. The results of banging on the door of a drug addict demanding my gun has CNN story written all over it. This definitely has me thinking of who a person can trust. I don't know this man at all. I'm thinking it's in the local pawn shop and he's stalling until he gets the money to get it out of pawn. In my eyes, it's stolen. But in the eyes of the law, it's just my word against his. He can say I gave it to him. I have the NRA insurance but I'm not sure how that would work here.
