It has nothing to do with trust. It has nothing to do with the person you loaned it to even using the gun. It has to do with liability.
A friend of mine loaned a gun to his brother because the brother said he wanted to learn to shoot. The brother went home, laid down on his bed and shot himself in the head. None of it was my friend's fault, brother wanted to die and would've done it without the gun. But my friend still lives with "what if I hadn't loaned him the gun?". The point is, you never know what the person you loan a gun to has in mind. But I would loan a gun to my father and my wife. No one else.
I wouldn't touch a man's bike or gun without his permission, but as much as I hate to be the one to tell you this, whether or not I touch your wife isn't up to you.

I have known this guy his whole life, he is my son!
Loaned a pistol to a friend once who had never owned a firearm.
Two weeks later it was stolen from his home.
I'm sure he was showing it off to anyone who would stand still long enough.
I never got the pistol back or was reimbursed.
Got knows what the criminal who stole it used it for.
Lost a gun and a friend (who refused to pay for the piece).
If your friendship or family member is not worth the value of a readily replaceable firearm, one needs to re-evaluate their priorities in life
