Quote from 1 of their high level engineers on hidden camera from Project Veritas.  Another is "After I came here, I became way more left". And more admission of censoring the right and not the left.

Internal memo went out telling employees to be careful of dating, job interviews, etc...when talking about what they do.

Possible BBQ by HIFICO to celebrate not only the 4th, but Young vs. Hawaii possible win, SCOTUS NY vs. Bruen possible win, the work Alan Beck, Kevin O'Grady, and Steven Strambough do.  And the ending of the legislative session.

So with my new purchase that has a thumb safety (1911), I notice that I learned with newer technology that has no external thumb safety (VP9).  The VP9 just has a bladed trigger.  And our other gun CZ P10C and M&P 9C has the same, bladed trigger.  Neither have a safety lever type of device.

So with this being said, how do you old timers feel about the newer guns having no thumb or like external safety?  For me, as an example, the P320's are not my cup of tea. Although striker fire, they have no bladed trigger or thumb like safety (M17/18 excluded).  Or even a heavier 1st pull like a double action with the hammer down or revolvers. And IMO that is a pretty big safety issue in general.  Which it all comes down to not putting your finger on the trigger is the bare minimum and no other safety redundancy in case this fails (included is stuff getting caught on the trigger). 

As a newer owner who learned on striker fire, I have no prior XP to compare it to. 

Are external safeties (lever or bladed trigger) going the way of the dodo. Like how almost all AR's have an optic on them and iron sights only are the way of the past.  Thoughts?

They want to bring back the bringing in the firearm for registration for all purchases/transfers not done by a FFL. So out of state purchase, private sale, inheritance, etc...

A judge already ruled HI cannot do this and yet here is the bill that ignores a judges ruling.

Also read the bill. They use militia as an example, but leave out the ages for a militia (18), because you must be 21 to buy a gun in Hawaii.

They also stated the militia was mainly white men.

They used 30,000 annual gun violence deaths is the reason for this, but isn't 2/3 of these deaths suicide per FBI/CDC stats? (Correct if I'm wrong).

Thanks to HIFICO and the plaintiffs (Yukutake and David from Danger Close Tactical). 

I already did the online reg which took 2 mins and did it at 11pm.

Got my PTA by 8:45am the first day it is made available.  Although I did talk to another guy who's PTA came in at 11am on the 1st day.

I printed them out (handgun and long).

Went to visit the shop under it's new owner for the 1st time.

They renovated/expanded.  So it's not just the counter like before.  Selection also expanded.  He's a dealer for DFNDR body armor and has the plates in stock and carrier.  Soon to sell Tasers that don't require a $200; 4hr class.

Also he does slide milling for RDS, unsure which pistols though and it it's outsourced or done in house.  His IG mentions Glocks only.  But he knows I don't own a Glock.

Also he's an authorized dealer for Shadow Systems.  Which is the next pistol once I make the RDS commitment.

Hours of operation are 4pm-8pm; 7 days a week.  Parking is street parking.  We parked in front the church.

Most important, David is 1 of the plaintiffs on the Yukutake vs. Connors (Shikada) lawsuit.  He is part of the reason why  you can register your guns online and can have your permit to acquire emailed to you and extended hours on Wednesdays.  I read the lawsuit and it's not just about violating the 2a, there needs to be the right person for it.  So for his prior day job, he was on call 24/7 and might not be able to make the 3 trips to HPD.  So having an online option or not having to bring the gun in was a much better option.

*Edit

I forgot to mention that when I purchased a pistol via Gun Broker, I was able to click on his FFL which makes the process very fast and easy.  I did a GB search within 25 miles of my location and he was the only FFL that popped up.  I would do a courtesy call  first though to get approval to send him something instead of just doing it and leaving him in the dark.

They were told 4 days and now it's been 2 weeks. So the American prepper wouldn't have too much an issue of no food. But I don't think China has a prepper mentality. 

Then add in the killing of peoples pets and quarantine camps, that's another issue.

By the professors tone, it seems like he has to be careful of what he says. No 1A in China. There are vids of the bad stuff going on, and of course you won't find it on the main stream media channels. 

Then factor in how many would be able to afford to buy that much food prepper style wise.  Going based on my Taiwan XP, to have hundreds of dollars of extra food for long term storage would be difficult when your income is $600 US dollars and your rent is $60 US dollars.

Was at HPD today and 2 older guys in front of me thanked HPD for being open later on wednesdays.

Guy 1

1 good thing that came about from covid is u guys open later now. Thanks.

Guy 2

Thanks for being open late today. Now i dont have to take off from work. And i can get my permit emailed. Saves me another trip.

Minutes later: wow, i can register online now, thank you.

I almost wanted to bust out and explain why HPD is open. Its not because they wanted to, for those who are unaware. They were served a lawsuit and settled. So HPD was forced to open late and do online registrations/permits.

I was in line and didnt want to lose my spot by explaining to them. Now that i reflect back, i should have.

So if u got friends who are happy about the new system, let them know why. Its because the state settled a lawsuit  by HIFICO. And HPD has no choice.

At least neither officer took credit after the statments of thanks were made. Not even a youre welcome by them.
