Howdy,
Boy is that an Old photo.

Sorry this Good Bye is a little late.

My kidneys  have failed and dialysis isn't  working.

I am in a home hospice program.

Several years ago, the Wife & I made the Decision  and left Hawaii for Hill Country Texas.

We have Never looked back nor regretted that decision.

Texas has lots of room for people who love ttheir 2a freedoms.

We would urge you to leave Hawaii  and see what real 2A freedom is like.

Old Guy

Howdy,
We moved to Hill Country Texas several years ago.
Yes we miss the weather & local foods.
Settled in Fredericksburg, it is a high end tourist location for Texas.
We have 10+ acres, enough to legally shoot any firearm legal in Texas.
We are just outside city limits.  To offset property taxes we have cattle on ours which gets us a small tax exemption.
The people here are very nice & Welcomed us.
Everyone we know are gun owners.
Many women we know have permits to carry & do carry.
We are 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio.
Next clostest town is 30 minutes drive. 
Down side is major medical facilities are in Austin or San Antonio.
Weather can dip below  freezing but last short while.
Home costs vary with area & acreage.
No place is perfect, but where we are is a lot better than where we were in Hawaii.
Our nearest neighbor is 200yds away.
No complaints about our shooting in back pasture.
Texas is a Very Big State.
Has a place for you, you just have to look for it.

Moved all our guns to a state with no registration.
Did not tell HPD.

Howdy,
Sold our nice Kailua home.
We moved to a small Texas town(11,000+ pop).
Our new town is Clean, No homeless.
All the folks we've met Welcomed us to Texas.
We have enough land so we can shoot almost anytime anything we want.
So far we haven't met any anti 2a people.
Everyone we meet is Pro 2A, many have CC permits and do carry.
Never met so Many gun toting women like here.
We're less than 10 minutes from hospital, super market and Wal Mart.  Big box stores are 25 miles down the road.
The county road in front of our place is better than King St in front of Honolulu Hale. 
Police I've  met are pro 2A and will talk guns if they have time.
Nothing like being in a nice hotel restaurant and seeing lots of LEOs having their  meal break. 
Some smaller  town LE carry well worn 1911s in nice leather.  Definitely  ones Not to get into gunfight with.
Love the smell of country air after a rain.
We're  glad we were able to make the move from Hawaii to a politically  incorrect  Pro 2A environment.
Texas has lots of room for folks who are willing to accept it's  lifestyle.
Remenber, you have to change to Texas way of life.

Precisely the Reason the Wife and I LEFT Hawaii.

The majority of gun owners We have met and talked to have little or no interest in joining the HRA

Many are millennials with a "ME" attitude.

They're not in it for the long run, instant gratification.

Given the number of guns Registered,

there "should" be enough New gun owners who "should" join the HRA and inject new blood and money.

But they don't.

Some I have talked to don't see anything wrong with registration, rap back etc.

They do Not see it as an erosion of their "Rights"

or they just don't CARE enough.

Since we have been in Texas, No One we have met are anti 2A.

The Texas Rangers, Game Wardens and police we've met are ALL Pro 2A.

When told about things in Hawaii, their response is "NOT here in Texas",

We live outside City Limits but still in town.

We hear gunfire all the time. (Sept 1, Opening Day dove season)

Guns are Sold openly at flea markets.

Wife and I will be going to 2 gun shows one week apart in the same town.

The only time a gun is "registered" is if bought from a FFL/Dealer.

NO Registration on Private face to face sales.

While back, Governor of Texas has told Feds to keep out of Texas.

Texas gun owners have Political Power.

If you want to move to Texas, We will Welcome you.

Just watched a Pristine WWI Vickers 303 cal water cooled MG go out the door of Small gun store into back seat of pick up truck wrapped in a blanket.

Complete set up cost owner $19,ooo at estate sale.

He has Several Full Auto MGs

I am on my way to getting at LEAST 2 suppressors and 1 full auto something.

Wife and I LOVE Texas.

Lots of people willing to help me set up my range after we close on property.

Texans we have met are Confident and Self Reliant, Can Do Anything folks.

Howdy Y'all

Well the Wife and I have taken the big step and Moved out of liberal Hawaii to a more gun friendly state.

We have moved to Texas where we are Welcome and are among family and new friends.

Our new home is in Hill Country.

We have enough acres to legally shoot any firearm legal in Texas.

We have deer and other game on our little slice of Heaven.

Best is we don't get the liberal Crap about guns like in Hawaii.

Every one we \'ve met is a gun owner or Very Pro Gun.

Town had a banner hung across Main St advertising "Friends of NRA Banquet"

Costs of living is much lower and the foods taste better than in Hawaii.

Bought the Wife a Ford Expedition King Ranch Special.

The furkids love to go riding in the back bucket seats.

The local Ford dealer Openly supports NRA in the show room.

Life is good now that we can Open Carry and shoot on our own private range.

Expect to shoot handguns out 300 + yards.

Sounds of FULL AUTO fire have been heard in the area.

Life is good in the Promised Land.

I think it's time the gun community do to Rhodes what they did to Rey Graulty.

In his hearing Graulty gave extra time to Anti 2A testifiers and cut off Pro 2A people at exactly 3 minutes.

Two people he cut off were Susana Gratia-Hupp, survivor of Luby's cafeteria in Texas

And My WIFE.

After that hearing HRA called for and got people out to PICKET Graulty's  fund raisers.

My WIFE never missed any of the fund raisers HRA Picketed.

She wore her best Mamo Howell muu muu in the Hot afternoon sun holding her sign.

she got her 30 seconds of fame on Chanel 2 news.

Even Mayor Fasi shook her hand as she was picketing.

Graulty did NOT get re-elected.

Rhodes represents KALIHI

Time to do a Graulty on him.

1967

During the last flurry of testimony on anti 2A legislation,

Many 100s of people testified.

To testify, you had to give your name.

Another old time HRA member went thru the entire list to see who he knew were HRA and other gun organization members.

He saw my name & testimony.  I got an e mail comment from him.

If people like him looked at the names,

you can bet the legislators do too.

Probably check to see how many Pro 2A people are in their district.

If 2a supporter's are a big # in his district, may give him second thoughts.

If you know gun owners who Do NOT Vote, this may be a good time to get them to register to VOTE.

2016 is an ELECTION Year.

If Every gun owner Voter Against Gun Control, Hawaii can see big changes.

Maybe there should be a Voter Registration table at the Range, Gun Shows and Shooting Fairs?

Remember, Hawaii has a very Low voter turn out.

Gun Owners CAN make a difference IF enough of them Voted.

If you Can't show me a voter registration card, STFU.

You have NOTHING meaningful to Contribute. 

You're Moocher.
