I'd loan them a rifle as soon as they pass the background check.
Heh-heh. I don't care who you are, that was funny right there!NO. My local PD is armed to the teeth already. I'd lend them my rifle if they gave me cash and could pass a background check.
Yes, I live in a state where they sue everyone for everything all the time.
Sounds like a liability for the cop. Use a rifle you have not qualified on or have sighted in and still be responsible where your rounds go. No thanks.
Locality plays a major part in this discussion. I come from a small town of about 9,000. Been there my whole life. I know all the officers on a first name basis. Know their families. If an officer needed my M1A or Model 70, it's his. To me it's no different than lending a friend in need a firearm. In my town they would give you some kind of civil service citation for doing that.

When those KC cops shoot, somebody drops and don't get back up and run off!
A Kansas City police officer accidentally shot his foot Friday as he prepared to help secure a beauty salon where an armed robber had holed up. The patrol officer was near his vehicle, loading a round in his AR-15 rifle when the rifle discharged. The officer, who is one of the department’s firearm instructors, underwent surgery Saturday and may need additional surgery
