Yes. 18 is the number you've been waiting for. Nice thing about Kentucky is that you don't need a permit to buy a gun.
As long as it's not a prohibited weapon, you can buy it. Being a "Kentuckian", you can also purchase firearms from any licensed dealer, manufacturer, or shop in any other state. If you want to conceal carry, you have to wait until you're 21.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
