I have plenty of loaner guns. The question is not the gun, but the person to be loaned to.

I can't imagine not willingly loaning any rifle I own to a friend. I can. A few of my friends share my passion for hunting and shooting. Most do not. Hell, some are even Democrats.

If recreating with friends isn't a social activity, what is it?
Substitute hunting gear and whisky for mens' fashion and Merlot on 24HCF.

A reasonably priced rifle you're looking for a reason/excuse to own.

I'm not sure how a person does that, but I am sure how Obama became elected because of it. Lots of 'conservatives' on the 'Fire that are nothing but liberals that hunt.

I also don't understand how someone has 10 friends or more. Of course LOTS of people haven't a [bleep] clue what the word friend means. Which only reenforces my point about 'conservatives'

Friend = a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
Acquaintance = a person known to one, but usually not a close friend.
There are lots of degrees of friendship, from very close, perhaps even intimate, friends, seasonal friends, interest specific friends, work friends, etc.
I probably have four very close friends and maybe a half dozen each of seasonal and interest specific friends.

Quick examples - my daughters are counted among my closest friends but of the three, only one hunts. Neither of my brothers hunt, nor do any of our wives. All of them are very right-wing conservatives, as am I. My brother-in-law doesn't hunt but has been a friend since grade school (I'm almost 64) and gave his DNA to save my wife's life when she had leukemia. He is a very dear friend and a bleeding heart Left Coast Democrat. And he is gay, too.
