Off Topic / Re: Anyone here ride motorcycle?
« on: May 13, 2013, 08:56:51 AM »
I had a Ninja. I was going about 20mph down a side street approaching an intersection and saw a car approaching from my left. He had 2 options, make a quick stop and go or stop and wait for me to go thru. He stopped, I went thru and  next thing I know the car is within inches of me, I pulled my leg up and avoided it being crushed. Left side smashed, I ended up on the hood of the guys car, and bike fell over and smashed the other side.  Mofo said he "didn't see me." Bike was totaled, I was a little banged up. Responding officer said I'm lucky I saw the car or I wouldn't have my left leg anymore. From that day I was not allowed to ride anymore. Hawaii drivers suck.

Does a good scope for under $100 exist?  No, they do not.  For under $100, you can get a crappy scope, a garbage scope, a passable scope, a surprisingly-good-for-the-money scope, or a few other variations, but there aren't any *good* scopes for under $100.
:rofl:
It's all relative

Anyone brave enough to try this?

Depends on how bare bones you're willing to go. I'd put at least $200 into an AR-15 scope but any plinker scope on a 22 is fine

Natural selection at work.

This reminds me of the guy who shot himself in his living room to test out a bulletproof vest. I wonder where that video went.....

General Discussion / Re: can you loan a gun to someone?
« on: March 18, 2013, 05:24:57 PM »
^^This. Shotguns and rifles can be loaned, but handguns cannot.
I thought the loan period on long guns was 14 days but a quick check in the HRS says 15

 ยง134-4  Transfer, possession of firearms.
(c)  Any lawfully acquired rifle or shotgun may be lent to an adult for use within the State for a period not to exceed fifteen days without a permit; provided that where the rifle or shotgun is to be used outside of the State, the loan may be for a period not to exceed seventy-five days.

Get a price adjustment. Almost any store will do it with a price change so close to your purchase.

Everyone was pretty quick answering this.

Aside from the legal issues, the problem you will have with not having your own vehicle is transporting all the other stuff you need i.e. target frames, ammo (esp. 12ga), range bag, etc.

While HPD won't ask for a receipt, it is a mighty handy source for the proper name and address of the seller, which HPD will ask for.
If you got it from a store then they just write the name of the store on the form. I assume it's because they already have all the info for the stores already. If you got it from a private party then all that "acquired from" information should be filled out when doing the transfer.

if it is one you bought you also need the receipt. I think thats all.
I've never given HPD a receipt. They don't care what you paid for it.

General Discussion / Re: "SHOOTING BOWS"
« on: March 07, 2013, 11:54:51 PM »
I have my recurve ordered through Island Archer and just waiting for it to get here. My only experience with archery is from boy scouts so I'll be doing a lot of learning. I heard everyone (clubs, experienced people who can help you, etc.) hangs out at the Waipio range which is behind the pool and you can't see it from the parking lot so you just have to walk in that direction and you will see it eventually. I thought the archery range at Kapiolani was shut down and hasn't reopened yet cuz some idiot shot an arrow onto the tennis courts.

I'm not well read into the archery laws (if there are any specific ones) but I do know that if an arrow is nocked (on the string) then it is considered "loaded" so don't run around with a nocked arrow. Similar to having a round in the chamber. No absurd laws about where you can keep and transport bows.

get a crossbow.  the new ones have mini eletric winches so even your daughter can use the bows which have 175lb pull...

just remember, never dryfire a bow weather it be a crossbow or a longbow/compound bow.
I would suggest a compound bow with a large adjustment range that your daughters can grow into. And never dryfire any bow.

Horses could have some serious chemicals in them to build muscle...........not that it's any different than a cow.
Growth hormones are found in lots of foods we eat. But, apparently horses intended for slaughter and human consumption are treated differently and are not allowed to receive certain medications deemed harmful to us along with some other regulatory things. I'm no farmer but I guess it's like cows intended for steak/burgers and milk cows?

The local FFL has to notify HPD of the guns arrival by fax.

then you can apply for the permit.  If its not in their system then oops!

So the answer is NO.
I have done it before, no problem. Did it with my RIA 1911 which was ordered by a local friend with a FFL, and did it again with a Browning handgun I bought via GunBroker. In both cases, I had the permit waiting at HPD by the time the gun reached the island.
So which is it? Perhaps the FFL can notify HPD that it will be coming?

I think it has more to do with consumers not getting what they think they're getting, mislabeling issues and such. Honestly, I don't see what's so bad about eating horse meat. It's served as a regular item at French butcher shops and sashimi style in Japan (ref. Food Channel). Supposedly it's very lean and a lot better for you than beef or pork but it has a different taste which may or may not agree with some people.

People might also be bothered by it because horses have achieved a type of pet status in some countries/cultures.

Preparedness and Survival / Re: How much ammo do you keep around
« on: February 26, 2013, 04:34:44 PM »
Damn! Thats impressive!
Actually it used to be more. KK sold off a bunch of ammo a few weeks back.

I've lost count of my ammo, I only know I got an unopened case of 1000 XM193. Few hundred M855 and 9mm with 4-5 bricks of .22LR spread out amongst several ammo cans. Couple boxes of 12ga 00 buckshot with a few boxes of 12ga #8 birdshot leftover from last time I went skeet shooting, I usually don't keep trap/skeet loads on hand and just buy the day before I plan on going to KKHSC.

If we're gonna go that way we may as well ask for an optics subsection as well since that's other most common sale item other than pmags and ammo. Selling lots of pmags is only a current thing and it will eventually return to normal, I think fstbckgt got it right with mags and ammo.

General Discussion / Re: Range sign in
« on: February 25, 2013, 11:03:45 AM »
You talkin about me? I always drop my stuff at a bench first so I don't have to carry everything all over the place. While I uncase, setup spotting scope, etc. my gf walks over to sign in. After she gets back, I go to sign in.

I left when the rain started but we we're gonna leave to get food after 1 more round anyway. Actually a lot of people packed up when the rain started. Although no one said anything to me and I have my brass. So maybe not me but I have noticed a lot of people who go through the same procedure of dropping off then signing in.

I got 2 scopes:
Cheapo $40 Barska plinking scope on the 22 (The mount I have it on cost more)
$200 Vortex Viper on PWS MK114 5.56

The 22 does fine on paper out to 200 yds, sometimes I feel like a higher magnification would be nice.
The PWS hits that bowling pin that's bouncing around by plates at 400 yds and I really don't see a need for anything more expensive.
