With more than 34,000 Palestinians dead and counting, which includes a large portion of that number being women and children, no one needs to know the exact details to protest the genocide and ethnic cleansing currently occurring in Gaza by Israel.
What? 

Don't need to know the details?  But it's obviously "occurring in Gaza by Israel"?

thought the same thing
we can use it on weekends, but it needs more cleaning and refurb to use during the week...
I was told (from very reliable source) that it's not a staffing issue. . .

How da hell does a broken window equate to active shooter training?

The anti-2a movement is openly showing their shameless agenda.

How about getting training to fix da g*dd*m window?

And I wish Honolulu Kitchen nothing but the best.  Good people and good food.  Love that green sign on the window.  Lawful.  It already is, in my book, but the asshats here in the banana republik think otherwise.

Same people that equate a broken window into active shooter training.

Sheer insanity and getting worse each legislative session.
feelings > facts

Seems like folks love being victims. . .

If that's election interference, I wonder how many times Bill and Hillary did the exact same thing -- or worse (Vince Foster).  In fact, they had someone on Slick Willie's campaign they said was in charge of "Bimbo Eruptions" -- women they knew would come out of the woodwork looking for attention or to do Clinton's campaign harm.

I got a reminder for CCW renewal in the mail yesterday.  Reminder within the 90 day window, directions to renew, etc. . . very helpful. . .



. . . from Arizona department of (whoever administers their CCW)

I also need to renew my Utah.  That seems quite easy as well. . .

I own none of the guns on this list. . .

The holsters from T1 and ANR came in for the 43x.  Did some test fitting and the ANR's retention is tighter than I like, but seems like it's a function of fitting of the mold on certain points vice the level of clamping.  Will see if I notice during testing, but I'm guessing not.  Have some range days coming up and will likely shoot the qual again with these new holsters.  The ride height adjustment range is about the same, but slight differences on how they end up "sitting".  That's mostly a function of the various attachment methods.  Don't think it will be a big deal, but want/need to verify.

It came out great. Couldnt find any blemishes in the coating. Tbh their nitriding looks almost identical to the factory DLC. Maybe just a touch darker shade. If I didnt know any better I'd think they were the same.
Cool.  I've been checking out Maple and Primary Machine out for a Glock 17 and maybe my CZ 75.   Really want to try the nitride.  My bold gun actions are nitride finish and while totally different context, I like the durability of the finish, especially since my pistols get quite a bit of wear.

Either the rmr or the HD. The non HD rmr is like $510 and they will install optic for free. Gonna have them move the rear sight in front of the optic and purchase some Ameriglo XL tritium sights which they will also install for free.

Not sure if the rmr HD is worth the extra $150 over the type 2 rmr
Nice!  I am waiting for the RCR to come back in stock.  I have a couple of guns with RMR, as well as a few guns with EPS (reg & carry) and ACRO.  I like the EPS and ACRO, but had my mind set on trying the RCR.

I have shot the HD RMR and it seems "about the same" to me as the RMRs I currently have (all Type 2).  I read and watched reviewed that mentioned the new features are a plus.

Legal and Activism / Re: Unregistered

Asking for a friend.  He has a PTA.  Somebody offered to sell a firearm they say is not registered.  Can he take it in to get it registered and legal?  What if it actually was registered, or worse, even stolen?
Recommend having the seller clarify registration status.  Never registered?  Unknown registration status?  Etc. 

A couple of friends went through similar when they purchased a bunch of guns through an estate sale, where at least one turned up wasn't registered under the seller (deceased husband).  I went through similar with a pistol that I inherited from my dad where the registration was "misfiled". 

Not sure if Maui PD process and folks will approach same as what I went through, as well as my buddies.  For my case, HPD misfiled the registration paperwork (during transition from paper to electronic), so gun showed up as registered to owner prior to my dad.  HPD wouldn't disclose who it was registered under (which I can understand).  So transfer or chain of ownership put into question, which my understanding is one of the main things, so would have been treated as unregistered and confiscated.  At least what I was told by multiple folks at firearms registration and a couple who went through similar.  Luckily they ended up finding the paperwork, so ended up all good. 

Another friend went through unregistered pistol that his father brought back from the war.  So when he passed, he inherited.  In that case, HPD acknowledged transfer of ownership through the will and my friend registered like normal. 

Anyways, just sharing experiences that I and buddies went through.  Not a lawyer, expert, etc. . . Proceed at our own discretion. . .

at least he isn't burning his hand on the FSP
how do you know he didn't later on? 

and no, you didn't say he didn't later on. . .

I have seen "instructors" teaching similar at KHSC, where "student" got scoped. . . but I digress. . .

I have a few, all in S35VN

I have a couple ESEE in1095. Super easy to sharpen, but needs more attention in Hawaii (like mentioned above). Most of my recent knives are S35VN or M390. I don’t think they are as hard to sharpen as they have a rep for. They hold edge really well and stainless performance is quite good.

I called maple leaf today, super professional and helpful over the phone. There optics prices were pretty close to Amazon prices too.
RMR HD?  Or you going with Holosun with RMR footprint?

This discussion has me looking into milling my CZ 75 SP-01 now. . . haven't shot that gun in a while and an RDS will likely have me shooting it more.

Sent my "1st generation" Gen 5 Glock 34 slide off to them to get front slide serrations and a bob cut on the dust covered milled in and nitride coated afterwards. Beautiful work. They actually sand blasted in between the serrations and on the bob cut to give it that factory texture on the newly milled areas. I liked thay attention to detail.

Had one of my other glock slided milled by CHPWS and they just milled and recoated. In the valley of the serrations are glossy compared to the rest of the slide with that has the glock textured finish.
How did the nitride finish come out?  I've been thinking of going that route on another slide, instead of cerakote. 

Sorry OP for the tangent. . .

Does anybody know the story of how and why Moku‘ula got turned into a ballfield in the first place?

Green's instincts seem to be of the authoritarian sort, but it also seems like everybody would prefer a unique "historic" site rather than a baseball diamond.
My thoughts too.  It's like:

Green: "Here's a legislation to try to get you to do what I want" (ask)

Community via testimony, feedback, etc: Hellz no

Green: "Ok, I'll go behind your back" (force)
