to make a long story short, a close friend of mine (let's call him N.) recently separated from his wife of five years. He is staying with another friend of ours for the short term while things are decided.
His wife (a very nice person, BTW) has three drunken-redneck brothers who never liked N anyway. N is somewhat concerned that they may decide 'teaching him a lesson' is a good idea (the separation was N's idea)
Are there any legal ramifications to loaning him a gun for a while? Neither he nor the person he is staying with have anything in their past that would prevent him from possessing a firearm, he's just poor, and can't afford one right now.
Are there any potential legal issues for me if, worst case, something happens and he uses the gun in self-defense (he is very stable, and I'm not concerned about anything happening apart from a self-defense incident). He knows his way around firearms (ex-Army) and has used the gun I would loan him before.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
