Amazing how much chaos one mental idiot with the power of the Presidency can do.

SWOOOOSSSHHH for like the 5th time today.  I'm beginning to wonder if you enjoy swooshes.
Don’t know about EEF or CMO, but I prefer Skechers.

Where I live in Puna, gunshots are common.  You will hear several a week and people here don’t bother to call the cops. Lots of wild pigs to take care of disposal.

I will be 75 in 3 months and not once needed SD insurance so I will play the odds.  I got maybe another 10-15 years if I’m lucky and for some strange reason, the older I get,

the less I worry about what may or may not happen.

I don't plan to get any SD insurance after I drop USCCA at the end of the month.  I only carry a Taser, a Mace pepper gun and a 3 inch fixed blade.  If HI sensitive places laws get overturned and I get a HI CCW, then I'll get SD insurance again.

Only takes 60 votes in the senate.  How hard could it be?
Extremely difficult, going by past history.  Even if it did pass Hawai’i will make some unconstitutional laws
and let it take 10 years to get to SCOTUS.

The video has nothing to do with national ccw, as far as I can see.
It discusses J6.
What am I missing?

I came to the same conclusion.  Sick of all the click bait bullshit on YouTube.

I currently have USCCA but have been thinking of just dropping CCW insurance altogether.  I originally purchased CCW insurance after I got my NV permit
and used to go to Vegas couple times a year.   Haven’t left HI since 2019 due to my wife's health makes it difficult to travel long distances.  I also didn’t bother
to get a HI CCW because of all the restrictions.  USCCA  prices go up every year and it is around $43 a moth for the plan I have.  The above video convinced me to
just drop them and will do so before next month’s payment is due.

Watched video on news of HPD several times just driving by people setting off aerials on the sidewalk and street.

For their personal safety, better to let it go than confront 15 guys who are probably intoxicated.

When I was a kid in the late 50s and early 60s and gun laws were a lot less strict, you could say lenient,
there were no mass shooters and negligent discharges were rare.   Fireworks required no permits and
aerials of all kinds were legally available for sale.  Fireworks accidents were very few. Fast forward 40 years
from then and to the present and it almost proves Darwin’s theory of evolution.  People in general have grown stupider.

Better than being number 2.


Eh, the most underrated thing in the world is getting a good number 2.  Better than sex if you haven't gone for 3 days.

I was watching a YouTube video of the fireworks in Waipahu.   Must have had several million $$ worth of fireworks going off from 2359 to 0005. 

Meanwhile, where I live in Puna, I didn't hear a single firecracker or any other type of fireworks noise.

Spray can of brake cleaner works well.  I think it is 10X more potent than bear spray. 

There are those who would say it is illegal to use it for that purpose, but she is not carrying it in public.

Just grabbed whatever was handy to save her life.

Just 10 miles from my house but hardly ever get vog here due to wind pattern.

I got more vog when I lived in Kailua, Oahu.

Sunset is the new broad daylight now?
 I would guess 95% of people don’t carry a weapon.
If she had a good, easily accessible fixed blade she could have messed that guy up instead of vice versa.
My daughter works for a phone company and she does not carry a purse.  She uses a fanny pack
worn under a hoodie going to and from work. Her hands are in the hoodie pockets, one holding a fixed blade knife
and the other on a Mace pepper gun.  She warned her coworkers not to be funny and try to surprise
her when she is walking to her car because they are not going to like the result.  I told her to keep her head on a swivel.

Since I moved to Puna 10 years ago, I heard fireworks for the first time last NYE.  It was off in the distance so wasn't loud and only one long string of firecrackers at midnight.   Nothing before or since then.  Now gunshots are another story.

not being argumentative, just posting what i found...

He started buying in the 1980s and probably rented back then.  I worked for him when he started coming back to Hawaii after a long absence in 2004 to 2008.  In his "2nd Coming" he did not rent and did not renew leases that were expiring.  During that 2004 to 2008 time period when he was my customer,  I  have several hundred hours of direct face to face contact with him.  Once it was only him and me at a house for 20 hours over 2 days.  I was charging him $1 a minute for my time back then and he had no problem paying it.

So your friend is probably right after all prior to me working with Mr Kawamoto.  I stand corrected as far as his dealings prior to 2004.  Ok for real now,
