  • Can I legally receive a gifted handgun from an approved FFL dealer in the state of Arizona if i'm under 21?

    I know I can't purchase a new handgun, but if my father (out of state) sends me one of his pistols to an approved dealer, am I eligible to receive that gun, not being 21?

  • How do I solve this physics problem?

    This seems somewhat simple, yet for some reason I can't find the right equation to apply (or modify one to my needs).

    "One ball is dropped from a cliff. A second ball is thrown down 1 second later with an initial speed of 40 ft/s. How long after the second ball is thrown will the second ball overtake the first?"

    The answer is 2.06 seconds, but how do I reach that conclusion?

  • Windows Xp start up problem (Major)?

    While on the PC, a message came up. It was one of those windows system update bubbles at the bottom right of the screen. So I updated it like I had done before so many times. Then when it asked me to restart, I did. Upon it's restart it didn't go through all the way.

    A message came up about "Sorry for the inconvenience, but windows has encountered a problem with a recent hardware or software update".

    The only hardware/software update I had done recently was the mandatory windows system update.

    While in the boot menus, it doesn't allow me to scroll 1 by 1 down or up for the options, but it will scroll randomly if I hold down the down arrow/up arrow for a few seconds and let go.

    It just keps trying to restart itself over and overf ever 30 seconds or so (if I don't choose a boot up option manually). But the options don't work so I really don't have much of an option but to wait.

    I've even tried putting in the OS system restore disc and boot the CD rom by itself.Help?
