I've got a very good friend who recently became interested in pistol shooting. He purchased a PA-63, which we shot and found to be inaccurate and completely unreliable.
He has a CHP class (which requires a shooting "test") on Friday and isn't comfortable with the PA-63. He can't run out and buy a new pistol before the class because he needs a Pistol Purchase permit from the Sheriff's Office, which can take up to a week. He put in an application for the purchase permit on Tuesday.
After he shot the PA-63, I let him try one of my CZ's and (of course) he fell in love. Can I loan him one of my pistols for the test? I offered to go up to the training facility with him in order to "bring" the pistol, but I'd much rather not have to drive for two hours and take time away from work.
Ultimately, the question: In North Carolina, can someone just hand you a pistol and say "have fun" and "bring it back later today"? Just to be clear, we are both residents of NC.
