It should.
An entry should made in the database that checks if the item is currently equipped.
There is a high chance that this already exists with the current equipment of items approach. But it requires a new link between tables to see if an item is equipped. Now this may sound simple, but too many links will severely slow a database down.
Also I really really dislike being able to share it with people, who don't really deserve having items they have no knowledge about, as it destroys a large part of the game, which is gathering the funds to buy your own equipment.
Oh and why would you lend items to someone who is not "save", just because you want to be a good Samaritan is at your own risk, and frankly it should be.
tl;dr:
It's not a bad concept, but it needs some work. And being able to share it between other characters shouldn't be an option.
