The way I read it No you can not unless an adult is with you.
I had to laugh a bit, I got that link from starting on your site and following the state links. Man, you must have chameleon eyes and several monitors and keyboards to keep up with your site. It's the only source I use anymore for out of state legal research.Had to shoot a Bullseye on that one. LOL Actually the link you posted works for me now. Before I couldn't get it to work.
From the instant gratification generation? Surely you jest!Gee Gary, I just posted a link to it instead of copying and pasting the whole thing.
I thought you were at least supposed to make the newbies work for it by clicking a link at the minimum. :wink:
