Although George agrees with Carlson when Carlson says that
Lennie was the one who stole Carlson's gun, it was really George, and not Lennie, who
stole it.
George lies about the gun because he does not
want anyone to know that he came out with the intention of shooting Lennie. He wants to
make it sound like he had no choice. Otherwise, he could be in trouble. First of all,
he could possibly be charged with murder. Second, Curley's family might be mad at him
because he deprived them of the chance to get revenge on Lennie.
