Read up on your CHL book! I had a friend who recently asked if he could borrow a handgun on a trip out to west Texas. I said sure and gave him my P95 after taking him to a quick range visit so he was familiar with it. He asked if he would get in trouble if he got pulled over because the gun is "registered to me" I just shook my head and laughed but I guess since he only owns a shotgun for home defense and isn't a big gun guy he just didn't know. Firearms are not registered in Texas! Proof of ownership is your receipt if you have one.

Ownership of a firearm in Texas is having it in your possession pretty much. This isn't New Jersey and it doesn't matter if you are carrying your fathers gun, best friends gun, strangers gun etc. You are in control of the firearm when carrying doesn't matter!

If he asked for your permission I would personally say no. He is looking for a reported stolen firearm. I have been pulled over twice and asked for my id while carrying but not driving once now since getting my chl in jan of 08 and I have never been disarmed or had any firearms checked. Sounds like another one of those towns to not get pulled over in if you ask me.
