word has it that several 2a supporters were interviewed, so hopefully it is "fair and balanced"

Seems skewed to be "anti" gun so far. :-(

Definitely anti...the pro side was thrown in as a thin veneer toward an anti bias.
They used a very anti "source" of information when talking about defensive gun uses (DGUs): The Gun Violence Archives ( http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/01/foghorn/gun-violence-archive-flawed-start/ )
Made the false claim mass shootings are up based on a now debunked FBI study ( http://reason.com/blog/2015/12/03/choose-your-own-mass-shooting-statistics )
Provided the usual "assault weapon" and the "guns in the home more likely to be used to injure family than thwart violent crime" BS
Suggested that if you keep a gun in your house it will just get stolen and fall into criminal hands or that most folks are ill-trained to utilize a firearm, especially for a self-defense encounter.
Major Robinson suggested that a gun at home would be useless, if it were being properly/legally stored,because it would have to be removed from the locked, hard-sided case and loaded, in which time the bad guy would inevitably assaulted you...and probably steal your gun for good measure. He basically said guns are more of a problem than helpful in violent encounters and suggests getting a "big dog" instead.
There was more, but definitely anti....
-
"Get yourself a dog. a big dog" reminds me of get yourself a double barrel shotgun. Since the officer was wearing his HPD uniform, I wonder if get a dog is the C&C policy for personal safety. To me this was a anti gun show meant to belittle the usefulness of firearms in the hands of citizens.
Can all apartment renters keep a big dog?
This type of show especially during the legislature only does one thing and that needs into the anti gun hysteria. I own a AR type rifle for self defense and not shamed to say that. The U.S. DHS calls AR rifles Personal Defense Weapons. Can't get any plainer than that.
Since they all agreed that firearms deaths are low, why didn't they investigate swimming pool safety. Probably would have said don't own a pool, go to the beach instead.

Why? For the same reasons that when criminals and lawful gun owners use them, they're "assault weapons" but when police have them they're "patrol rifles."
Dishonesty. A need to control the narrative to push anti-gun agendas.
-
I thought the show was fine.
While the dog suggestion was not or everyone, neither is a firearm.
The reminder that Hawaii has a very low rate of firearm incidents is a good argument to stop making more oppressive gun laws.
I actually like the dog suggestion.
Harvey effectively parried that assault rifle terminology, if I recall correctly.
-
Mr. Robinson thought it is nearly impossible to get a gun ready for HD in time to use effectively. he is wrong. mine is ready in a couple seconds.
by his same logic, it is much much slower to call 911.
not a smart argument on his part.
having a dog for security is a good idea.
having a dog and gun......even better.

But the dog suggestion was predicated on his implication that we mere citizens were not capable of using a firearm successfully, or safely. Especially with regards to self-defense.
And while our low rate of firearms incidents may be a good argument for not making more laws, the other side will see it just the opposite and advocate for ever more restrictive laws. Because, according to their logic, if all those laws were the reason we have so few firearms incidents, then more would obviously decrease that rate even further.
Assault rifle = select fire military rifle
Assault weapon = made up term
I think "our" side did a pretty good job, especially since it was obvious it was meant to be a hit piece, although a "soft around the edges" one.....

Of course the major is going to tow the company line by making it seem impossible to quickly retrieve and use a firearm effectively.
But we know better.
Generally, I believe the message of the program was not that guns are bad, but more like a warning to newbies that guns for sd are not a quick and easy solution.
-
The big dog suggestion was good for those that CAN have a dog. Many landlords don't allow dogs, especially big ones. I have 4 Rottweilers. Three sleep in my bedroom and one in my daughter's room. I also have a Glock with extra magazine, an AR15 and a high power flashlight that sleep in my room. I would not care about bullets going through walls since it would be impossible to hit a neighbor's house even if I tried due to the distance and trees and my daughter's bedroom is upstairs and mine downstairs. Since shooting someone WILL change your life for the worse, my first choice would be to have the dogs tear up the home intruder instead of shooting.
Overall I did not think that program benefitted gun owners. The fact that they said Hawaii has the lowest gun violence and the strictest gun laws makes it seem that if they made the laws stricter gun violence would go down even more.
-
The dogs are there to slow them down. The gun is there to protect the dogs.

Cops like dogs. When police go in your house, they shoot your dogs first. Easier than dealing with humans who can shoot back.
-
maybe the next matt levi segment should be with pro and anti's at the same table so there can be rebuttal. you can say anything you want if it's your one sided opinion and no one to say anything against it. that is what i saw.
-
The statistics said it all!
-
Criminals should take a defense course on shooting big dogs... LOL
-
I didn't get to see this program yet, however, any which way you look at it, GUN OWNERS need to start being more PROACTIVE, if you wish to keep you rights.
-
Mr. Robinson said an AR is too powerful for a city like Honolulu, to much collateral damage
and guns can be taken away from you and be used against you
ok, then HPD should get rid of their firearms for the same reasons. that's his own argument. unless he's a hypocrite.
-
Hawaii is seeing record numbers of guns being sold and they are scared they no longer have control, This is the ground work for bans similar to CA, Im predicting they will go for a 10 round magazine limit on all guns in the next year,
-

Major Robinson ASSUMES that we are not wearing our side arm while we are at home.
He basically said guns are more of a problem than helpful in violent encounters and suggests getting a "big dog" instead. :wacko:

The way the officer told people to get a dog was like that's all you need to keep you safe. Sure dogs are good as a deterrent and to possibly attack the bad guy, but they are not the total answer for all people either, the same way that the officer's logic places a low opinion of firearms owned by citizens. Guess if you cannot own a dog for various reasons then you are SOL, but never own a gun. My pistol is in a convenient location when I'm at home and locked in a safe whenever I leave the house. No law tells me it has to be locked up at all times unless going to a range or repair.
That is correct that anti 2A minds will according to their logic push for more CA type laws to get the rate even lower while thinking people will see that more guns owned by more citizens mean lower rates.

Being that my dogs live indoors and are like family, anyone who shoots my dogs inside my home will get shot by me. I don't care if they are LEO or not. I can control my dogs and if they have to shoot them because they are being attacked means they did not ask to enter.

Matt Levi should have asked Maj Robinson if he kept a gun at home.......Bet he does :wtf:

Hey, come on, everyone knows that he's "special" given his status as an "only one" whose would-be monopoly-of-violence is a forgone result of his elititist position.

Huh?
Hpd supposed to have a sidearm all the time.
Even off duty, it's either required or recommended.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

It is NOT required.
-
I have always had dogs, never just one, Probably why my place has never gotten hit by the regular daytime burglaries in my neighborhood, especially during the summer when the little twerps are out in force
That said what does that have to do with Second Amendment rights??.
Of course Major Robinson keeps a gun at home probably several. Not only 'Cause can, but he is probably required.
Us little folks on the other hand...
I wonder how many of our politically elite are allowed to carry without a permit, just a wink and a nod. If they were issued permits it would be public record. Best kept discreet.
You can't tell me that Judges and the like aren't armed for their own security.
Aloha, I think

You are correct, they are supposed to have their guns all the time, unless they are intoxicated or doing something that precludes carrying a gun, like swimming.
-
I hope the people see the irony that a person who has lawful access to guns at work, CCW and at home is telling us citizens not to have them because criminals will steal them from us.
What about that instance where a gun was stolen from a police officers car in Kalihi? :grrr: Now with that same argument why should police be armed? I didn't see the episode but thats one point the mediator should've brought up.

How about when they're naked at a massage parlor sampling the goods...........oh wait, can they still do that? It was in the line of duty after all. :wtf:

It becomes more difficult to conceal when naked but maybe a small revolver in the butt crack?

The episode is not posted yet but here is his website that has old episodes posted. Didn't see it on TV so waiting to see it here before I can add my 2 cents.

Are you saying that all sworn LEOs have a de facto CCW license? Can you cite any statutory language?

I tried recording it last night but ended up they screwed up and played an infomercial.
-
Notice the good Major did not mention that one of the 3 "fatally shot at home with own gun" was an HPD officer. :wtf:

Don't really want a back stretcher. Maybe a Thigh Master? :rofl:

I got an infomercial too. I learned from past experiences on weekends around news time to record the shows before and after the program I want... just in case... so I got Hawaii Guns a half hour later. It portrayed gun ownership as a negative, unnecessary >:(.

Right channel, right time, right program. Recorded back stretching infomercial. I have it set to record again next Saturday. Same bat time, same bat channel.

Fyi, the back stretcher thing was at 6:00 pm
Matt levi was at 630pm.
I don't know anything about those DVR things. You actually put in a time to start??
It supposed to show again next week on a different channel.
-
The HT DVR channel guide shows the program info and time. You just select "Record Episode" and it records the program for you. It's likely that the channel guide had the wrong time info.

My DVR was set to record the Levi show and it said it did record the Levi show from 6:30-7:00. When I set my DVR to record I set it to record the show. I don't put in the time.

The law allows them to carry off duty. Their policies require them to.
Here is the statute that allows cops to carry firearms off duty, have short barreled rifles, have silencers, magazines greater than 10 rounds, etc.

It is required....they are supposed to have their firearm, credentials, and handcuffs with them all the time. Of course certain activities, like surfing or drinking may preclude them carrying, and in general the directive is not well enforced, but it is a requirement.

The AG cannot issue CCWs, only the Chiefs of Police for the respective counties have the statutory authority to do that.

Speaking of statutory authority, perhaps you can tell me under what statutory authority the Kauai police chiefs issued two CCW licenses, one in 2006 for six months and one in 2013 for nine days, given that “§134-9 Licenses to carry. (a) Unless renewed, the license shall expire one year from the date of issue.” It's going on three months since I filed my formal request for an answer to that question from the Kauai PD and chief and they told me two weeks ago to "be patient". Seems like a simple question that the issuing authority would be able to cite/quote immediately: "I derive my discretionary authority to determine the term of a CCW license via HRS xxx-x." :stopjack:

Per the HPD policies, the barrel length on the long guns and shotguns for the officers has to be 16" or longer, no silencers are allowed, only the swat officers are allowed to carry the Dept/Swat issued short barreled Ar's and shotguns. The only firearms that they had with suppressors were the MP-5's that they used to have.
The AG's office handles the LEOSA permits.

Yeah, on the guns for work use. It doesn't say hey can't have these weapons at all, just not work use I believe.

The MP5SD's still exist and are not the only suppressed weapons utilized, there are also suppressed bolt rifles.

It is only policy and not law that restricts the use for duty and departmentally owned weapons. For private ownership, it is the same process.
