“Rent a gun” to “shoot some elk”. This is as close to the proverbial foot gun you can get.

  Yup. This is a classic case of something making the news because it is atypical. I found it funny that the article stops just short of implying that hunting is driving gun sales when despite the obvious 800lb gorilla (Covid driving the sales of any/all emergency preparedness products). I didn't even know gun rentals outside a range (pay money to shoot stuff you can't afford to own) or B2B (e.g. security or armored car company leases handguns from a gun shop) context were a thing but it makes sense in states where the only thing you'd need a full sized rifle cartridge for is assigned tags via a lottery so every season you have plenty of hunters who suddenly have a tag that they might not be equipped to fill.
