I shot a wild dog around 50 years ago.
It was unpleasant and disturbing.
Today I own/adopted two lost dogs.
The Humane Society is overloaded with dogs and cats.

Doggies are like kids. Bad human parents create bad kids/dogs. Hopefully, they can be caught and adopted but that's probably not going to happen.

Military brass is typically slightly thicker than commercial brass to handle higher pressures. Because the walls are thicker, the internal case volume is slightly reduced. If you are loading near maximum powder charges, it's best to reduce your loads and work back up safely to avoid overpressure.

The 4th of July
Celebrated by having a beer and discussing world events with the dawg. Then I loaded up some 45 ammo to make noises like firecrackers. (At the range)

I know it is off topic some, but I have been kinda out of touch.
Did they ever put the wall back between the rifle and pistol ranges?
I can support the new hours. Works for me.
....
Nope...no wall yet.
I read something about the year 2028. 🤣

I did some probing on why the range hours are different than before.  I ended up in a quagmire of BS that the City and County gave for their reasons.

Budget, the "lead poisoning", highly skilled employees needed, more legal restrictions "implemented" after that alleged "lead poisoning", and some legal BS as to the govt. is not required to make sure that citizens have ALL the options to exercise their 2nd amendment rights.

Never mind the common sense fact that most citizens work on weekdays and weekends and that holidays are their rare opportunity to exercise their 2nd amendment rights.

Of course when I inquired if the Bruen decision had anything to do with these changes I was met with silence.  And of course a referral back to the above "reasons".
.....
Clarifying....
The range hours only changed in the last few weeks to eliminate being stuck in the afternoon rush hour traffic.
It works out nicely.
Prior to that, the hours never changed in at least 50 years.
I've been shooting there since 1978.
Here are the new hours FYI....
MO, TUE  -CLOSED
WED, THU, FRI- 10 TO 2PM
SAT, SUN- 8 TO 4PM
Notes:
Last shot is 20 minutes before closing.
The range should be open on most holidays except Thanksgiving, Xmas and NY. This is how it was pre-covid.

I bought a new replacement from Amazon. My old one got worn out. I get little flags in the mail because I routinely donate money to groups like VFW or DAV.
(Veterans of foreign wars and Disabled American veterans)
Walmart is selling little flags now.
...not sure where this one came from....

Does the range have set hours?

How about holidays.  As designated and under Parks and Recreation, the range should be open on holidays.

It was before.
...
The city is trying to make it like how it was before. Ie.open on holidays. The new operating hours makes a lot of sense and a many people seem to like it, including myself. Now I can go shoot and get home early so I can pop open a cold beverage and discuss world events with the dawgs.

We need tougher suicide laws and knife laws.
Too many unregistered kitchen knives.
The problem is rampant.
Maybe a permit system for suicides might work.

An article from Hawaiʻi Public Radio.....
---------
"Gov. Josh Green said Attorney General Ann Lopez was carefully reviewing the Supreme Court's decision and evaluating its implications for Hawaiʻi law, state policies and ongoing enforcement.

Green said in a statement that the ruling was “not great” but Hawaiʻi would follow it. The governor said he treated many people wounded by accidental gunfire while working as an emergency room physician. He also shared that he lost an uncle and a cousin to self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

“Having more guns in society, we will have more of these incidents, but Supreme Court made that ruling, so we’ll abide by it,” Green said
