Good catch.

It's actually a very factual article. Kinda amazing something like that was written on one of the major media outlets.

I got excited when I heard the story on the radio. hehe.  I was waiting for them to mention 2Ahawaii and Hawaii Concealed Carry!  This story might be able to give us more press.

The story, pretty good, however, the artical says it is 'difficult' to obtain a CCW.  They sould have given some statistics on the issuance of said CCW permits.  Let folks who don't know that it is virtually impossible to obtain CCW. :P

I am trying to get someone to interview us; no luck so far.

KITV also did a report on firearms last night. It too was pretty neutral with the exception that it also made it seem like it was just "difficult" to get a CCW as opposed to nearly impossible. One question about both reports: Why do the news organizations always seem to talk to Magnum Firearms? They did not try to speak t any of the advocacy groups (that I know of...). And, the guy they interviewed actually said he liked the strict gun laws as they prevent the "bad guys" from getting guns. Amazing......

Tim Sakahara just took my number; whether or not they call me for a future event is another question.

Probably because it's right down the road from them, and they'll be able to get the 'correct responses' from them. ahem...

This is very good.  They need to start reporting all sides of a story.  Let the people decide. :thumbsup:
