I think they don't want copycats

I despise Islam.
I would not shoot them in their place of worship.
There is no such thing as a "copycat".
They are already nutcases.
They need help and the ACLU
coupled with the corruption and ineptitude of Government
denies them that help.
No, it is just a Liberal denial of how their "Protected" class of people
can do no wrong.
Protected class being Democrat.
 

As I understand it the Honolulu Police have quite good training certifications so I wonder if this is as a whole or or how they are measuring that.

It is not so much the training as it is the leadership.
Cops are just employees, PERIOD.
They do what they are told just like you and I did when we were employees.
They do not protect and serve, anybody, but the Bosses ass.
The problem is the BOSS!
Once you figure that out, then act accordingly.
 

Of course, I can't carry so everything is only in theory.

I want the smallest package which is flat with no protrusions or extras like RD or extended mags or lights.
I want something that fits in an inside-pocket holster with no bulges showing outside.
I want 10 shots in a slim package instead of 7 or 8.  If I need more than 10 shots then I made a fatal mistake of not bringing my AR.
(The proverbial bringing a knife to a gunfight)
I don't need to shoot at 25 yards at Kokohead, only 5-7 yards.

I got a SIG 365 with the manual safety, so I can carry 1 in the chamber with the safety on. 
The standard model doesn't have the manual safety and SIG says it can be carried safely with 1 in the chamber - spooky.

Certifications differ from actual in field practice. Example: The citations issued due to Ige's mandate. Thousands were issued, and about 96% were dismissed in court.  So either HPD officers issuing them did not practice what they learned when it comes to what is law and the constitution, or they were not taught it at the academy by the "good training certified" cadre.  And due to the volume of citations issued, this wasn't just 1 or a handful of officers who didn't know better.

I was at a BBQ and had a cop respond to a complaint about gathering. He showed up and said the mandate is unconstitutional and he will not enforce it.  But since he was called, he had to show up because the caller is watching.  He said he didn't care if his bodycam captured his statement.  He then left without telling us to disburse or any citation issued.  He then came back a few hours later because the same person called again.  And he repeated what he told us and left.  This is an example of a cop who knows what his job is and knows what the constitution/rights are and choose not to "follow orders".

Wife was asking about switching to solar and I was like “you know how much batteries cost?”

Every 3 to five years you have to replace them, assuming they are available.

I was advised to use forklift batteries.
They are pretty bullet-proof.
Difficult to install in rural places, but
very robust.
