Tried everything, but I can't figure out why animations wont work with the next owner

This script works for me perfectly, but for some reason whenever I send the object this script is in to someone else, the "hold_R_handgun" animation doesn't work for the new owner, they get the permissions not set error. If I make it so the script restarts on rez it works, but then all the buyer would have to do was un-attach and re-attach this occasionally and they'd have unlimited soda! there's no way (at least, none that i can think of) that this thing can keep the current amount of sips taken and reset the rest of the script... so I'm at a loss... help please?

Looks like you have two on_rez events.
Combine them or delete one.
But keep the permission request in the on rez that is left.

Like this?

I haven't tested it, but that does look better.

tested it with my friend, and it works! after it expires, if you remove it and put it back on, the handgun anim turns on for a few seconds, but that seems to be the only lingering problem.

When an object is rezzed the first time by a new owner the change event will be invoked.

This gives you the option to not only detect a new owner without having to reset the script but also allows you to request permissions as needed.
