So. I've started the lengthy process of getting a permit to carry a firearm here.[LIES!]

They're not quite what I'm used to, but similar enough to back home that I've adapted after some practice. The hitch comes from a bit of a...disability on my part. [Like being an ALIEN.] I'm curious if the newcomer community boasts any gunsmiths who might be

You need a permit to carry a gun around here?

[Oh.]

... Well, shit.

[Voice]

[ive_got_reach]

So they tell me. Stringent gun safety laws and the like.

[Private - Exceptionally Difficult to Hack]

I'll be honest, I got mine less-than-legally. I added the part about the permit to avoid turning any of the wrong heads.

[Voice]

[axemeaquestion]

Ahhh, damn--

[Oh.]

[Private - Exceptionally Difficult to Hack]

Ohhh, thank god.

I've been using weapons I had from back home, and I bought another gun the other day.

... Shit, I never thought about if I'd need one. I'm just used to it not mattering anymore. But now that I think about it, I'm suprised the guy who sold me the gun didn't ask.

[ive_got_reach]

I'm surprised he didn't ask you as well. Perhaps they're not as strict as I thought?

I got mine from a mugger who had it pointed at an older woman. [He makes a tsking sound in his throat.]

Shameful.

Or maybe it was the Canadian equivalent of a redneck gunstore.

Well, aren't you heroic. [No sarcasm meant, actually.] Not suprised shit like that happens, though. Not like I wouldn't know--I work in the news.

[ive_got_reach]

There's never any shortage of people wanting to sell guns to people who want to buy them.

[Garrus actually sounds a little uncomfortable, coughing sheepishly.]

I couldn't just walk by. You can't let that kind of thing go unchallenged. I've snagged a few firearms that way.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[axemeaquestion]

Well, hallejuah.

Hey, you did the right thing, I'm not saying you didn't. Snagging guns is always a bonus, too.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[ive_got_reach]

Sorry, felt like I needed to justify myself all of a sudden.

[He's sounding sheepish again.]

You're in the News you said?

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[axemeaquestion]

Why would you need ot justify yourself? Don't worry about it?

Yeah. I used to be a news producer for a big-time news station back home. Here I'm... trying to be as "neutral" as I can, I guess.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[ive_got_reach]

Not everyone's as accepting of vigilantism.

Struggling with the prejudice against Newcomers here? It seems very prevalent.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[axemeaquestion]

Are they?

That and it's hard not to get a decent job that DOESN'T associate me with that AGI and SERO shit. I'm an assistant producer for a small-time neutral news station/

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[ive_got_reach]

Yes. I've only heard a little bit about AGI or SERO, and everything points to bad. I didn't even know there -were- neutral jobs in this city, but that's a pleasant surprise.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[axemeaquestion]

I probably couldn't give you much advice on it. I would up being more focused on whether or not it was possible to be a neutral tv producer than anything.

Rochelle, by the way.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[ive_got_reach]

Shepard. It's nice to meet you Rochelle. Do you prefer Miss?

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[axemeaquestion]

Just Rochelle. You can call me Ro, I don't care. Hi.

[Voice | Encrypted - Exceptionally Difficult]

[ive_got_reach]

Rochelle then. Nice to meet you.
