This tends to be a really touch subject...

If sales and services has anything to do with machining and / or raw materials, it's almost never going to be cheap.
Most of us bust our asses paying the day-to-day bills and just living day-to-day.
Price is a concern.
Time is also a concern.
If you can balance the two, then it's usually a satisfactory transaction.
I've been to many local shops / stores (not necessary gun related) that didn't want to deal with the "small sh*t" - how the hell do you expect to build your reputation???
This is when the law of economics kicks in - supply and demand.

Bottom line, as long as you're happy with your purchase and service, that's all that matters.

Like everybody said, .22lr is pretty scarce right now - it's probably the #1 hard-to-find (.223 / 5.56 is pretty close) round right now.
I believe you have a Sports Authority over there?
Try to make regular runs or make friends with the sales people.
If they are friendly, they can check out their inventory list and give you an idea when stuff is going to come in.
Don't be surprised if they turn you down, cause they are not supposed to be telling the customers that kinda information, but this is not a hard rule.
The Sports Authority's on Oahu just had a run on Winchester bulk .22lr (275 count?) pack for like $28 a box.
Of course that stuff ran out pretty quick once the coconut wireless got cranking...
I heard J.Hara had some CCI (not cheap) at their grand opening in Kaimuki - maybe the Big Island main store still get?
Also, like everyone said, keep an eye on the Classifieds - .22lr moves pretty quick, so try and check several times a day, if you can.
I picked up my Mini-Mags from there a few months ago myself...

I don't know why anyone would like to shop at Safeway...
I'd pick Times or Foodland any day...any time...
Most of Safeway's prices are overpriced.
Safeway used to boycott "local" products until recently.
Case in point:  never used to have Meadow Gold drinks in cartons until only a few years ago - Safeway used to only push the "national" brands.
If you want to keep the money in Hawaii, shop elsewhere.

Not like you can walk in with a firearm anyways, so the sticker is kinda redundant.
It's like putting up a sticker that says:  "No Nuclear Bombs allowed."

I'm sure neighboring Nevada has no problem selling ammo to Cali residents without such requirements...

No one respects law enforcement anymore, PERIOD.
If an officer tells you to stop - you stop.
If an officer tells you to stop - and you RUN - get ready to get chased down, beat down, handcuffed and ignored even if you're lying in your own pool of blood.
You don't respect the officer and his authority, the officer is going to ignore you, PERIOD.
This isn't even about guilty or not guilty.
"Kids" nowdays...parents no teach their kids about respecting the law.
This is why get too much stupid sh*t.

Just the other day, officer gets "bumped" - guy gets thrown in jail.
This is just no respect.
Is it too much to respect the officer and the law?
Why you gotta dis the cop?
Now who looks stupid and in more trouble?
If this idiot just respected the officer and the law, this would be a non-issue and NOT in the news.

Long, but a must watch...



With "cheap" cordless drills, saws, etc.  running at 20V, that's serious portable power.
It sounds like this job was not some random act; the perps knew what they were going after.
No one preps for going after this many firearms by chance.
