Word is HPD also wants the range to reopen ASAP as many of their guys cannot train since it closed. "We cannot protect you" unless the range opens.
This is so true.. Had family dinner last night. My niece and her boyfriend both in HPD said it’s been a controversial thing in the HPD. They really don’t have a range to practice at. Even there specialists (swat and such) have to practice on their own. So most go to KHSC. They don’t allowed them to use the range at the academy. Well that sucks!

perhaps it is because they are unsafe firearms users?
When I was a kid we went to the long Beach CA police range all the time.
But in those days people wanted their kids to learn how to shoot and be safe
with guns , a foreign concept to modern "Blue" states, like Hawaii.

I asked if we could do the CCW testing at HPD's range and was told the range would exceed it's capacity.  Not sure why that is a problem.  It'll cost more to replace filters and more maintenance, but that's not insurmountable.

Other issue is the police indoor range is "lead free" ammo only.  More expensive ammo.

The Koko Head Shooting Complex is scheduled to remain closed through February 2023.
Following consultations with the firearm range consultant, a timeline of physical improvements is being developed in order to safely reopen the facility.
The specifics of this timeline will be announced once those dates are confirmed.
Currently, the Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation is working on internal and external signage for the facility while updating administrative policies governing the complex's operation, including additional training for complex staff.
Mahalo to the firearms community for their continued patience and understanding while we work to make these necessary fixes to this popular facility.

Typical in Hawaii in my opinion so I don’t read anything into it.  At least they didn’t say it’s permanently closed.

Dragging A$$ seems like a pre-requisite in Hawaii government.  Or looking the other way until somebody says something.

Then when somebody or something comes to public light, the "drag a$$" phenomenon takes effect.  (Can you say CCW? :rofl:)

Sorry for being so negative. 

Thank you, hk45c for the update :thumbsup:

Should turn KHSC into the new dump since contaminated with lead. Should make one new range down Nanakuli.

Would be nice to have a range on the leeward coast.

makes more sense to keep kokohead going rather than build a whole new range
would be nice to have 2 public ranges but with all the anti gun lawmakers here, 2 ranges are not probable

Had an interview with KITV 4 this morning and the reporter said someone from C&C told her they were planning to open the range next month, at least the shooting bay portion.  This was the first I've heard of anything.  Can anyone verify or did anyone hear the same?
"The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."

If this were true I would expect the work to have started already to cleanup and refurbish the berm.   Has anyone checked lately if they started working.

There’s nothing on the KITV4 website.  Maybe they’ll run a story this evening?  If I were to guess though I would follow what’s posted on the City’s page regarding Kokohead being closed thru February.
