Ted Murphy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I lent a shooter two mag pouches at a local match. I did not get them back. I did not remember until this weekend when I was looking for them and now I cannot remember who it was that borrowed them. I am more mad at myself than the shooter. Whoever he is.

Noximus03 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Same here. I'm all about helping fellow shooters out, just hate it when I forget about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I am the worlds worst about doing the same thing..... But, the stuff will come back to you when whoever borrowed it remembers they have it..... If it doesn't - there is such a thing as good karma..... for being the guy who helps his fellow man/shooter.... Here's to you for being that guy.

poortrader Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ted, You're too nice. I guess you won't run another high round count match again. Haha, Peter P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMJ Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Lent my (now) ex-wife my life and never got it back... Never mind, that's a different rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z40acp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 You will get them back. I lent some mag holders to a shooter at a club match and he drove out to the next match to return them even though he could not shoot that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Springthorpe Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Only once did I fail to get back what I lent to other shooters. And he emailed me for my address and mailed the gear back. Most folks are good folk! It's the other few that seem to give the majority a bad rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akkid17 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Unfortunately I'm all too willing to lend people stuff and all to forgetful. Left my gloves at the range one day; waiting there the next week for me. Left my brass bag at a match the match the next day it was waiting for me. Lent out a couple mag pouches then decided to leave early. My mag pouches got passed around until the finally made it back to me. Pretty awesome that the shooting community, for the most part, is super honest and willing to help out others. All good stuff, I'm definitely glad and proud to be a part of it.

Amerflyer48 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 it may come back to you 18-20 years ago I loaned out a holster and 3 mag pouches to a new shooter about a year ago she found me on FB and asked for my address. it is an old rig for a 5" made by a local leather guy back in the 80's might have to get a set of skip checkered grips and go full-retro at a match this year John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm the same way, generous to lend things, and forgetful that I loaned them out! I have lent out my copies of Brian's book & Saul Kirsch's book, and then forgot who I loaned them too! I had to ask a couple people before I remembered who it was I loaned them to. He said "Yeah I got it", then at least I felt better knowing who had it. I said No hurry, just wanted to refresh my memory. He brought the book back within a week. Thats generally how it goes with us shooters! I've yet to meet a shooter who wasn't willing to lend a hand or return something they had borrowed.

gm iprod Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Loaned a guy a holster set up two years back. I forgot he had it. He remembered, when he wanted to borrow something else off me. At least I know it WILL come back, later rather than sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
