backdated to 4/12, welcome to ultimate nerd hell

James Barnes shared a photo. April 12 near Recolle

There's got to be at least one comics nerd on here. Someone explain to me what all these old comics are supposed to be, and why they all have me in them. And before you say "just google it," I did and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea where Retrospec dug these up from. Also, I've got one free ticket to the shooting range I'm willing to share. The only catch is you have to be 18+ and willing to take me too. Let me know if you're interested.

((To view the comics in larger size/more detail, click here. There was no way i was gonna manage to embed that in a DW post. EDIT: also i added a bit to this post at 4/17 11:38 EST because I was a dumbass who forgot to include it originally, sorry for any possible confusion! ))

If you don't have anybody else, I can accompany you at the range. I'm not the most consistent shot, but I can show you the basics.

[OOC: If someone else has dibs on that thread, don't feel bad about turning him down.]

Perfect. I'm free to go down there any time after 5. Tell me whatever works and I'm there.

And I don't think I'll need much of a lesson. I already know how to hold and load a gun anyway.

[ Yeah, as if "take your kid to work" day at the army actually teaches you anything about proper gun operation. ]

And you're how old again?

American gun laws, gotta love them.

I can make it that late. Come on by, and let's see if I've got anything to teach you.

[ lol shit he shouldn't have said anything to a cop FUCK!!!! WHY IS HE LIKE THIS!! ]

I'm 16. But there's plenty of special events that'll teach you the basics using plastic replicas.

How's tomorrow sound? I can meet you there at 5:30.

[Its almost cute how he backpedals. Here, let Togusa fill in the excuses.]

You can fire handgun at that age, you can even technically own a rifle at that age, below a certain caliber.

And you can fire airsoft at any point. The way they're getting these days, the mechanisms are just as complicated as a regular gun.

And, sounds great. I'll see you then.

[ WHAT!!! James had no idea about any of these. His dad told him everything was off-limits until he was 18, but apparently that was just a house rule, not an actual law.

Not like it matters anymore because he's going to a shooting range anyway. ]

Great. See you there.
