At least the article says he accidentally pressed the trigger and not "the gun just fired"

The first handgun I bought was an hp22.  It was cheap and all I could afford.  It was a good little pistol to shoot, with redundant safeties.  BUT, I would NEVER get one to give my other half for self defense.  In the year and a half before I could afford a glock, I sent my hp22 back to the factory three times for new springs.  The plastic grips are so cheap that brake cleaner started to melt them.  Save some money and get your wife a reliable pistol.

Technical Support / Re: Purchasing ammunition online and mail to Hawaii.
« on: February 10, 2015, 07:18:50 PM »
A few years ago I ordered from ammunitiontogo.com.  I was looking for a specific type/brand of ammo and the shops I frequent on big island didn't have and couldn't get it.  After doing the math, for it to come out roughly the same price per round as comparable locally I had to order a lot.  Like 5 cases total, including my specifically sought after ammo.  Big chunk of change to fork over at once.  Sold some to friends to make some of it back.  We have more gun shops now with more variety.  Be aware, if you check out their website it doesn't quote the haz mat and shipping until you add items to the cart and you find the quote box and enter a zip code.

Sugar cane for biofuel, like gasoline/ethanol? Or biomass? Engine fuel from sugar, we could bring back the plantation and actually have something in hawaii self sufficient no need import fuel.  Makes too much sense, somebody would shut it down...:(

There was an indoor range in kona in building right below the Costco parking lot.  It closed around 2000.  Last owner was cool, more of a gun guy than a businessman.  He said the insurance for it was insane.  The building is still there, don't know what's in there now though.

Mauidog, there's an arguable amount of liability in anything we do because of the way our civil court system works.  Let me try and take the 2A part out of what I was trying to get across earlier. You ask to borrow my chainsaw to cut your tree that's going into neighbor's yard.  I let you borrow it and the tree you cut falls on your neighbor's house.  Or, with the same scenario, I don't let you borrow it, your neighbor gets mad at you for not taking care of your tree, punches you in the face. Seems to me I'm more responsible if I give you the ability to do what goes wrong, than not give you the ability and that leads to a third party doing something wrong to you. But what do I know, I got sued by my ex and lost for taking the exact amount of money I put into a joint bank account when we ended our relationship.  I think personal responsibility is dwindling in general in part because civil courts make it easy to blame someone else for what happened.  Thanks for the thought provoking conversation dog.  You ever come to the big island, drop me a line for beers and talk story about guns.:))

On topic, I think all active shooter presentations are run, if you can't run then hide, if you can't hide then fight.  They'll suggest how you should run, don't use the elevator, try not to run in a straight line or in a narrow space, things you can use to hide, use to barricade your position.  They don't really tell you how to fight, except maybe grab whatever you can to use as a weapon.

Also notice 5: "No license shall be issued unless the Chief of Police is satisfied that the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed and has demonstrated proficiency with the firearm to be carried."


So if the police chief thinks someone is suitable and proficient, what happens when that someone screws up, ie, shoots bystander instead of bad guy.  Law suits galore, naming police chief, the department, the county.  It is in his best interest not to issue a permit and avoid potential liability and the way the law is currently written, it is at the police chief's discretion.  Until we become a shall issue state, which would remove the liability from the police chief, it's in his best interest not to issue them, regardless of his personal views on concealed carry.
