My brother wants to borrow some guns.

I’m totally fine with this.
He’s joined the local club and is a volunteer. This grants him access to the range when it’s closed to the public.
He has a friend who works there and recruited him to help. The range is maybe five minutes from his house on the other side of the river.
He only wants to shoot .22 right now and asked for my Grandpa’s Marlin rifle and his Woodsman pistol.
I offered him the Mare’s leg .22 but he said he wanted to start slow and simple. So I didn’t push it.
It’s been about 45 years since he’s been shooting.
I bet he will ask for other guns to use in the future. I have plenty for him to use…
I put a starter package together for him.
