Wasn’t sure what thread this would have been good in, but bought these at Costco for $25.  Pack of 4.  About the size of 30cal cans.  Not sure how good they are gonna be, but at that price, decided to try em out.

How do I go about getting a copy of my long gun permit to acquire if I have misplaced it.  Do i have to go through the whole two week process or is it just a matter of  going down to the station and asking for a duplicate?  Mahalo in advance for your help...

What is everyone carrying as their EDC knife?  I’ve been trying out a couple of Civivi’s (Ortis and Elementum) for the past couple weeks to about a month.  So far they have proven to be arguably the best budget folders that I’ve tried.  Haven’t had a ton of experience with different knives, but I have had carried and used knives at work and in everyday tasks in the $150-$200 range, and these have held up as good, if not better in some cases.  Just wanted to see what the community is packing in the pocket...

Did anyone notice that the gun emoji for android (not sure about Apple iOS) got nerfed from a revolver to a little squirt gun? Someone probably complained it was too provacative... smh...

Can anyone tell me if the transferor of a pistol has to sign the back of the transferee's permit to acquire in a private transaction, or any for that matter? It's been so long since I have done a transfer that the details of the process is a little blurry in my head. Thanks in advance...

Does anyone use BUIS anymore?  I'm pretty sure that no one uses them as a primary means, but do you even have them on your rifle?  I'm just finishing up a build and was about to buy a set of iron sights, maybe some troys, but noticed that a lot of people don't run iron sights on their uppers anymore.  Asked around and did some surfing and found that more and more people are starting to leave that out.  Especially for home defense rifles.  Some say that they've put irons on rifles that they've had for years and haven't flipped em up since they put em on.  It's about half and half.  Seems the optics nowadays are thought to be so reliable in some minds that the need for iron sights is no more.  Of course, the RDS or Holo is much faster, put dot on target and pull trigger, saving crucial seconds vice sight alignment. Plus, decent irons run you almost as much as a decent optic.  But what happens when the battery goes out?  I know you can carry a spare battery, but how long does it take to change that battery?  Crucial seconds.  What if that's not what went wrong?  What if the glass breaks or something else?   What do you guys think?  I'm probably still gonna buy the sights and slap em on.  I think that there's too many "What if's" out there for me to dump the irons just to save weight and rail space. Plus, it looks cool, because that's what really matters.  Gotta look cool...

Does anyone know of a carbine/pistol class here on the island? Interested in becoming more efficient with my rifle/pistol  in a self/home defense situation, should it present itself. I go to the range and plink, practice dry firing, reloading, etc. But really never any situational stuff. Also what kind of gear is recommended, stuff like that. Lemme know! Interested in your feedback. Mahalo!

Howzit guys. I just recently acquired a load of old ammo including 25 auto, 9mm, 45 auto, 38 special (a lot of 38 special!), 12 gauge 00 buck and 1oz slugs. Most of them look clean and decent but a large amount looks questionable. My question is does discoloring on the brass and/or the bullet itself mean the ammo is deemed unusable? Most of the 45 auto looks bad, which is a bummer because thats my fav. Or is it okay to shoot. Also if anyone wants the 25 auto, it's up for grabs. There's 100 rounds in 2x50 round boxes. Lemme know. Would appreciate your input. Always get great insight on here. Thanks guys. Aloha...

For all the legality nerds out there... Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't AR pistol lowers nontransferable here in Hawaii. Not sure, but would like some clarification on this. Thanks!

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. Does anyone know of any carbine classes available for civilians to take here on the island, or anywhere in the state? Would like to take one. Looking forward to getting educated and having some fun with my rifle. Thanks for your time...
