[M1911. Didn't Yoon-sung say that he'd gotten a World War-era pistol in his car? Kudos to the man for never saying who had claimed the gun.]

Well, you all but let it slip at the range. If you hadn't gotten one yet, I figured one was on its way. Thank you for telling me.

Something that old is odd, though. There's lots of modern variants on the 1911, I think. I should ask Fynn. He'd know off the top of his head.

[frostythehitman]

I figured you already knew but I had to say it anyway.

[ Mostly because Yoon-sung (and his own conscience) guilt tripped him into it. ]

And yeah, that's why I was using the Colt at the range. It's supposed to be a pretty similar variant. It was as close as I could get to the real thing without actually dragging it in and probably causing a whole scene.

[standalonehuman]

Well, I've got bad news and worse news, you can decide which is which. The handgun age limit is federal, so regardless of local laws, you're not allowed to own that gun. But I'm pretty sure I shouldn't waste my time confiscating it, because I throw that in an evidence locker, it is going to find its way back to you.

But it also means you can't register it, yourself.

You got anybody who can take a look at it, something that old, make sure it's still in fireable condition?

[frostythehitman]

Of course not. I'm 16, who could I possibly take this to who wouldn't have me arrested and ruin my dad's career?

[standalonehuman]

Okay, let me rephrase that. Since we can't arrest you, would you rather take it to me or Fynn or somebody else? Hell, I'd be able to take it to the range, pretend it's mine, if you want.

[frostythehitman]

Okay, now that's a much better idea. I can lend it to you to check it out. Fynn is the officer who brought me in, right? I don't know if he even knows I have a gun.

What are you gonna do with it exactly?

[standalonehuman]

He's a good guy. Turns into a completely different person when you're talking about guns, it's interesting to watch.

But if you're sure, I can look at it. I would just disassemble it, clean it if it needs it, barrel especially, and test out the components individually. Spring, action, and so forth. I'd be able to notice any problem before you tried to put a bullet through it.

[frostythehitman]

In a good way or in a bad way?

If that's what you're doing, then I'm gonna watch. If Retrospec's gonna send me a gun, I should at least know how to strip and maintain it.

[ Plus, it kind of bugs him that he knows how to do it for the Walther, but not the M1911 that he actually owns. The process is probably similar enough, but he's not about to take a chance on "probably" when it comes to firearms. ]

[standalonehuman]

Bring it on over, we'll set a time for it, then. I agree, you should know how to do this. This part, at least, is easy to pick up.

[Too bad the entire city is going to go to hell before they get a chance to catch up to each other again.]

[frostythehitman]

Fine. How's about this weekend? Where should I bring it?

[ He says, as if there's actually a chance in hell of them doing this as planned. Oh well, they'll have to take a raincheck until later in the month. ]
