As far as I'm concerned the world is already at war.

Would love to hear your thoughts either way.

There are various types of war. We have been at economic war for decades, but not like how you think.  Our lawmakers have been selling us out until 2016-2020.

We are in an information war that began in 2015 for the masses to know about.

We have been in a constitutional war for decades when more gun laws began emerging. Ban this, ban that, jump thru this hoop, move goal post, etc...

We have been in a drug war for decades that again, our law makers have been selling us out for.  We can invade Iraq for the wrong reason, but cannot invade Mexico with the single purpose to destroy the cartels supplying drugs.

Now, once again, we are being invaded by illegal people. This was reduced from 2016-2020, but it was more of a pause and continued again.

I started this answer three times, and each time I was getting sucked into your vortex of nonsense.  Let me make it simple for you.

The business has no control over what a customer who decides to hurt others does.  That also applies to accidental (negligent) discharges.  There's no liability from that perspective.  No sign, policy or law will stop a criminal or careless person who decides to carry anyway from hurting others, whether it's with a gun, knife, flame thrower or just their hands. 

The business does have control over allowing law abiding people to protect themselves.  That makes them liable for providing protection for their customers' safety against the person who might want to hurt others if the business decides to ban firearms.

You're simple answer doesn't work for whataboutism, which is why it was ignored.

I would be interested in the outcome of those cases to see what type of precedent they set.


Seems like they could be sued either way though. If a business allows you to bring in your firearm and you accidentally shoot an innocent person, then the store could still get sued

Hence a no signage at all is the best option.

tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video

Their local news reported what I wrote.

I mean, he was the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport....

AFT is saying he made a gun and sold it to a prohibited person.  I'm sure this was an honest mistake as someone who's a millionaire doesn't sell guns as a main source of income on a regular basis.

Still waiting on AFT to kick doors down in the hood.

Additional info:

SAF and NRA turned Mr. Young down when he was reaching out for help with his lawsuit.  So did 17 other lawyers.  So he filed the lawsuit on his own.  Then he met Alan Beck and the rest is history.

This shows what 1 man standing up against a stacked deck can do.  HIFICO was formed because after this, Alan also worked with it's founder when HPD told him that permanent resident aliens cannot own guns.  Even though HI and federal law states that they can.

Also, reminds me of the UIPA for RAPBACK between HI and the FBI. 95% redacted, but there's enough info to tell that FBI told HI no.

That's the state's current game plan.  If you want them to follow the law, you have to spend your own money and sue them.

Then, if it appears you are about to win a judgement, they will capitulate or change the rules so your complaint becomes moot -- which is a tactic they employ to avoid paying your lawyer fees.  No official judgement = no reimbursement for your or your lawyers expenses.

Good luck!

You might try contacting the police commission and the state's attorney's office.  If they see you are in the right, they might decide to intervene before it becomes a court case, but don't hold your breath.

If there is no law banning the item, then HI's tactic of changing the law to stiff the lawyer won't work.  And since this legislative session already began, it's highly unlikely any new law can be created until next year.

I have never looked into this item or issue, so IDK what the law is.

From Atty Alan Beck

"Sgt. Major George K. Young Jr. (Retired U.S. Army Green Beret) passed on earlier this week.  He was my first client I represented on my own.  Prior to meeting me, he had filed two pro se lawsuit against Hawaii's concealed carry restrictions.  That means he was his own lawyer.  I corresponded with him while working on my first federal case.  Shortly, there after he told me he was going to file a third lawsuit.  After he was dismissed a third time, I agreed to represent him on appeal. Together we took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, prevailed  and compelled the counties in Hawaii to adopt the Bruen ruling which made them begin to issue concealed carry permits for the first time in Hawaiian history.  My first Second Amendment case was supposed to be a one off and I had no intention of filing any subsequent cases until I met George.  He convinced me to keep filing cases and often helped me research colonial history which he was an expert in. He taught me a lot during the ten years I represented him.  Everything that we've accomplished in Hawaii is thanks to George.  He inspired the whole movement we are a part of.  He was a dear friend and he will be deeply missed."

We owe lots to Mr. Young as he and Alan fought and is still fighting for our freedom that HI loves to deny.

April 4th is the absolute last day for a hearing.

Which means 4/2 is the latest a hearing notice can be given (48hrs).

General Discussion / Re: Best online firearms vendors, new and used?
« on: March 20, 2024, 12:05:15 PM »
There are some firearms that are nearly impossible to find in the state, new or used.  For those, you have to shop around online.

Curios & Relics is such a category.  If you want a war-era rifle like a Mosin-Nagant, SKS, pre-1980 AK, or one of thousands of collectibles, you don't have much of a choice but to use GunBroker, AIM Surplus, etc.

So, the answer really depends on the firearm you seek.  If it's a new production version that's in high demand, chances are you'll wind up looking on GB and paying whatever they are asking.  Demand, supply, price -- it's an economy thing.

I've purchased from GB a few times and not had any problems.  Items were as advertised, and no scams.

I do have a few guidelines for online purchases:

#1 -- Find what you want to buy, but before ordering, take the info to your favorite LGS and at least offer them the chance to meet the price.  It's no insult if they can't.  At least you gave them the opportunity.  Nothing says you have to pay more just because the item is in stock locally.  Your money = your choice.

#2 - If using an online retailer, like AIM Surplus, Bud's Guns or PSA, you can be confident the transaction will be honest.  Also, they have good sales support if there are any problems with the order.

#3 - If you use GB, read up on all the latest scams, gotchas, rules and tips for avoiding getting ripped off.  Education (before giving a credit card number) is key.

#4 - For GB and any other individual sales, make sure you can contact the person by phone.  Give them a call, and ask qurstions about the firearm and transaction.  This is not a guarantee they are not scamming you, but it's still one step in verifying their identity.

#5 - For individuals, ask them to deliver the firearm to an FFL of your choosing, not theirs.  That FFL can act as a kind of escrow.  Once they verify the firearm as described is in hand, you can send payment.  Then the FFL can ship the gun. if there's an FFL fee for that service, consider it the cost of insurance.  Insurance is peace of mind, which this process can provide you.

#6 - Almost every gun I purchased online included a specific inspection period during which you can return the item.  After that expires, the sale is "final -- no refund".  That means you need to track the shipment and contact your FFL the day it's delivered, assuming they haven't contacted you.  Show up and inspect the firearm ASAP, but at least prior to the inspection deadline. Contact the seller immediately if you find a problem.  Call AND email -- email provides documentation of when you found the problem and reported it.  If you can't make it to your FFL in time, maybe ask the FFL to open the box and inspect the firearm for condition, any damage in shipping, etc.  If you don't protect your right to get a refund, you might not like what you now own.  For some reason, an image of the Let's Make A Deal Zonk! comes to mind.   :popcorn:

#7 - And maybe the most important one.  I always use a credit card for payment.  Some people don't like the 3%+/- CC fee some sellers require, but that's another cost of insurance.  Most CC companies have a refund policy if your purchase is lost, stolen or damaged.  If necessary, you can challenge the charge and have it reversed.  It gives you protection if this really is a scam or the seller ghosts you.  If they say they don't have the means to accept a credit card, tell them good-bye.  Never , ever, ever send cash or a cashier's check or money order.  Don't wire the money via Western Union, and don't use a Debit Card.  A personal check is also risky, since they will ask for 7-10 days wait for the check to clear.  Waiting gives them time to disappear before you realize it.  By then, you can't do a stop-payment on the check.  And do not use PayPal.  PayPal prohibits gun sales.  If you use the "Send money to a friend or relative" option, you waived any and all protections PayPal normally offers for scam victims.  PayPal is able to charge a credit card even if you don't have a PP account, but the seller needs an account to receive the funds.  Legit sellers might be unwilling to do that given PP's anti-gun policies.

#8 - If there's a problem, don't fall for the "I need time to fix this" ruse.  They may be trying to drag it out until you bust the credit card reversal time limit, which is normally 30 days after it appears on your bill -- maximum 60 days.  If they can get you to be patient while they promise to do whatever it is you want, they win.  Give them a reasonable amount of time, then dispute the charge.  Protect your transaction by following the credit card rules, and don't let them string you along.

I wish there were a fool-proof way to transact these sales over the Internet without fear of getting scammed.  The best you can do is protect yourself against the possibility of being ripped off. Use a reputable retailer, always use a credit card, and protect your right to inspect.  Anything else, and you should trust your gut.  if the price is insanely low, it's probably a scam -- just a rule of thumb.  You can try to buy those, but that's when added protections will save you the hundreds you could lose.

It's a scary world out there.  Not everyone is a scammer, but every purchase you make is potentially a scam.  Be wise, not impulsive.

And most important, don't PayPal someone $500...lul, bruh.

True, and not a safe queen. . .  8)

Better get your ammo ready. . . maybe no fun/open shoots on the near horizon, but there's always single stack  O0

She has some scratches on her, but no idiot mark.  And I don't baby shoving that part back into place either.  When the bays open, this would be a good test for me as to how long a stored firearm can go and still fire well.  Trust but verify, as I'm sure I can google this.  1 change I made was instead of oil, I used grease as oil drys after some time.

This showed that all it takes to control the people we trust is control the top.  I get why doctors didn't use common sense.  They would get sued if they told people the truth because the CDC and many other org's said it's fine. So they can fall back on that and say the CDC said it's OK, not my fault you got myocarditis.  Compare this to if they were against the vaxxx and people got health issues from covid. "You said no need the vaxx because it's untested, even though the CDC/AMA said it's OK".

This was a very dangerous thing that happened.

That's a weak opinion.

"Can you find any such example where a company has been successfully sued because someone suffered due to policy to not allow a firearm? "

That's not the entire issue.  The issue is whether the company also added security measures to ensure the safety of its customers and employees.

Schools have been sued after mass shootings.  Some of those are still going through the legal process.

Police departments were sued for failure to stop an active shooter.

The movie theater in Aurora, CO, was sued, but the gun free zone policy was actually the government's policy/law that disarmed the public.  That's usually been the case since so many of these crimes occurred in cities and states where concealed carry is not commonly permitted.  After Bruen, that's already changing.

Now that "shall issue" is the law of the land, many places (like here) are rushing to stop CCW by trying to get businesses to do it for them.  I predict there will be more lawsuits over gun free zones once the people responsible can't hide behind the law and qualified immunity.

I will be one to file suit if I'm ever injured due to a no guns allowed place.  I hope that I never have to though, because that means something bad happened.

That's one way to describe what happened, or reason. . .  O0

At least I'm still happy with my purchase.  Could have been worst, and I have regrets. Too bad I don't get to shoot it since 2022.

The usual rhetoric response to a mass murder without a firearm is, "but think of how much WORSE it would've been if he did have a firearm!"

What is the best rebuttal to that statement? 9/11 and OKC?

Wow, that's got to be a record or something. So sad. Good thing he didn't have a gun or it would likely have been worse.

Or a nuke.
