    i know im gettin older... but a zombie? yea that sounds right! my advice for you is to test your endurance for exposure and practice methods of taking control over that. surviving and finding food are not too difficult. controling how you are (are not ) exposed to elements is the hard skiil to aquire.

    I was exposed to the element on the stove once. I was NOT testing my endurance mind you and my exposure, although much longer than I wanted, did last any longer than I could help it. It really hurt.

    Ofcourse i could be wrong in thinking that its kilograms.

    I'm just having a hard time with a 14 year old claiming to be an expert.
    I'm 38, I started martial arts when I was 9. Does that make me an expert? If so, tell Steven Seagal and the UFC I'm ready to kick all there a$$e$.

    Where I live, you have to be 18 to OWN a handgun, but must be 21 to purchase one.
    I don't know the laws in your neck of the woods (I can admit when I don't have knowledge of a subject) but I'm guessing that a 14 year old carring a handgun is illegal.

    Indiana is pretty forgiving:

    "No state permit is required for the possession of a rifle, shotgun, or handgun.It is unlawful for an adult to provide a firearm to a child or for a child to possesses a firearm except while the child is:

    • Attending a hunter safety or firearms safety course and an adult is supervising the child during the course.
    • Target shooting at a range or in an area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited or supervised by a qualified firearms instructor or adult while at the range.
    • Engaging in an organized firearm competition or practicing for a performance by an organized group that uses firearms as a part of a performance.


    • Lawfully hunting or trapping with a license.
    • Traveling with an unloaded firearm to or from an activity described in this section.
    • On real property that is under the control of the child’s parent, an adult family member, or legal guardian and has permission from the child's parent or legal guardian to possess a firearm.
    • At the child's residence and has the permission of the child's parent, an adult family member or legal guardian to possess a firearm.


    • It is unlawful to possess a firearm on school property, property used for a school function, or a school bus. This prohibition shall not apply to a person who may legally possesses a firearm and possess the firearm in a motor vehicle while transporting another person to or from school or a school function."

    He can not carry a handgun until 18 however.

    There are not many laws governing (impeding) the right to carry. Open, concealed, it's all the same.
