I've got friends who think it's cool, they know nothing about firearms and are always curious to see what I've picked up. They don't handle them, just look and ask questions. If a stranger asked though, standard response is "nope."
After experiencing a few similar circumstance as a few above, I typically decline unless it is someone that I trust and/or shoot with. Some people are way to careless when handling a firearm-loaded or unloaded. Just simpler, to me, to keep my protection on me =)
... someone then looked at me and asked if i really had a gun on me ...
Let me tweak the thread a bit, if I may, backup up a step, and ask how do folks respond (or how would you respond) to this question?
