To get one in Oregon, you have to demonstrate evidence of ability. For most folks, this involves taking a class and getting a certificate.<BR/><BR/>Check with your local sheriff's department -- they'll be able to steer you to a class where you can learn the basics. Doesn't take long and isn't too costly for the basic how-to, which will also address the laws on using a gun for self-defense.<BR/><BR/>Check out Robert Brown's primer online for writers:<BR/><BR/>http://www.sff.net/people/sanders/rrdws2.html<BR/><BR/>Hands-on experience is better. How does the thing feel in your hand? How heavy? How hard to operate? What does the lube smell like? How much does it recoil when fired? What does burned gunpowder smell like? (Not cordite," which doesn't power handguns.) Those are all important for veracity in writing.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-81676910340808584652008-03-02T07:18:00.000-08:002008-03-02T07:18:00.000-08:00Thank you for posting these pictures.

My limited knowledge (coming as it does through watching TV and movies) is quite incorrect, as I found out during a writers workshop. You've got me thinking about taking shooting lessons and trying to find some books on the history of firearms (I do a lot of period stories). Thanks!C.

Boy don't mess with that guy - (probably for a variety of reasons) - he is an excellent pistol shot and he does know his firearm. I happened to read your book the 97th Step after I saw the show and the affinity Pen had for firearms/weapons made me think of Segal and the way he knew his pistol. Another thing on the wish list - my own shooting range - minus neighbors.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441344447548078615noreply@blogger.com
