| Message | Adults should be the only "owners" of a gun, however children should not be blinded from the issue. Not allowing an 'older' child to handle and properly use a weapon (only under the most strict of conditions and precautions of course) risks leaving a young adult exposed without any proper education in the matter. The "strict license conditions" metioned should later be expanded to include a required course in weapon safety and management, as well as regular permit updates; preferably sometime between every 6-12 months . |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
