Picking up and shooting with a laser gun (Platformer 4.5.9)

[smmulry]

I want the character in my game to pick up a laser gun and shoot lasers with it. So far I get him to shoot lasers without picking up the gun, but I want the player to only be able to shoot when they pick up the gun. Help please.
