need a lawman's opinion
Thursday, 08 May 2008 01:07:25

ok, everyone here seems to be a pretty smart bunch of people from all different walks of life, and I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I am interested in buying a handgun, and the laws for Washington State aren't very clear in regards of who can and cannot have one and how they can and cannot carry it. I checked the RCW, and it says nobody under 21 can have a pistol, and I'm 18, so you'd think this is a no brainer. But, it also mentions a list of exceptions, including being on your way to or from a shooting club or legal outdoor activity. To top it all off, Cabelas has a minimun age limit of 18 for buying a cap and ball revolver, so now I'm really confused. Mainly, I just wanted to know if theres some sortof permit I can get or something so that I can carry (preferably concealed, but I have no problem with open cary) while I'm hiking and fishing out at the corner of no and where. Also, I'm interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement/park ranger/game warden, so if you know anything about any programs where an 18 year old could do something like that over the summer, i'd love to hear about it.

Working on my Fanfic skills

I've been working on a new fanfic. This time around I'm spending a lot of time on the planning, since the story arc didn't sit too well with everyone last time. It was a learning experience. :-) I've already spent a couple weeks on planning it, and I'm guessing it'll be another week before I start writing. The story goes a bit into Inara's history. I have a few theories about it. Nothing epic, but still fun and interesting to explore.
