I was back in the mainland for a while to take care of some business and had some time to make some videos of a couple of my guns.  Here is a video I put together of my 1950s M3A1 Submachine Gun.  I hope you guys enjoy it.

Glad you guys enjoyed the video!

Was back in Texas for a month and got to enjoy the latest to my collection.  My new Lewis Gun.  It is an incredibly nice shooting a reliable gun.  Very surprised and happy with this purchase. Anyways, I’m back in Kauai for now!  I hope you enjoy the video!

I'm new to hunting and suppressors.  Do you need to use subsonic ammunition with rifle suppressors or will suppressors still lower the sound sufficiently with standard ammo to prevent hearing damage?

This is an old thread, but I feel like answering this question.

First, I mostly live on Kauai,  it also live in Texas where I collect machine guns and suppressors and am also an FFL/SOT dealer with a business partner.

With rifle rounds, suppressors make standard ammo bearable.  One or two shots with one is a huge difference from without, and you will be fine.  Technically not hearing safe, but it’s way way better.  Use subsonic rounds, and with most suppressors you will now be in the hearing safe range for all day shooting.

With pistol rounds it’s the same.  The are quieter and slower, but super sonic is still. It really hearing safe.  It’s close and fine for a couple shots though.  45acp on the other hand is already subsonic.  It’s laughably quiet with standard ammo.  Same thing with 22 ammo.  Standard ammo shot through a good 22 can, like a dead air mask, is laughably quiet.  Add subsonic ammo to the mix, and holy balls, it AWESOME!

This is cool to see.  I doubt it will pass, but if so, I’ll djust finitely be bringing my license here as I’m sure I have more experience shooting suppressed guns or all types and brands than most on Kauai.  Also, I love to help and teach others! 

Thank your pro gun legislatures!!

Isn't a sonic cleaner kind of a bit too much?  I just use q tips, rags, and gun cleaner/oil on all my pistols, rifles, shotguns, full autos, and even suppressors.  Always been good enough for me, clean, accurate, and goes bang, or am I not doing enough here?

I'll bet there is not bump stock one turned in, or any of the other stuff, and.... I'll bet it never makes the News.
Aloha

I agree.  No one is going to turn them in.  At some point gun owners have to start saying "no".  It's ridiculous here.

Be careful of pepper spray.  You need a permit for it on Kauai.

LOL!  Really?  Wow, we have both.  Oh well.  BS laws anyways.

I live in Texas half the year, and have spent most of my life there before moving back to Kauai recently.  No one follows those signs.  The punishment is a misdemeanor.  Same as a speeding ticket.  It was a recent change to make it less of a crime which is awesome.  Many places there have signs on the doors welcoming people to carry guns and just asking you to shoot properly if you need to use your gun.

Depends on what you mean my "no gun sign". In TX if a business does not want to allow concealed/open carriers they must display Texas Statue 30.06 (no pun intended) for conceal carry, and/or 30.07 for open carry in a conspicuous manner with minimum 1 1/2" tall lettering. Normally they are printed on the doors of the business.

"“PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL

The little gun-buster sticker(alone) on a door doesn't count.

A while back I picked up a bunch of crushed M16 receivers.  The joke with my friends was that I liked my Colt M16 A1 so much, that I wanted more than one, but this was all I could get.  LOL.

Anyways, I finally got around to doing what I wanted to do with them.  Dremel, paint to highlight the writing and "age" them, time, patience, and this is the end result!  Took about an hour per dog tag.  I know they are just a freaking key chain now, which sucks ass, but it is better than them completely being gone forever.  Kind of cool too since it's a piece of an actual machine gun.  Just something fun, and I really like how they turned out.  What do you guys think? 

Yes it's your right damn it!  Join most of the rest of the country already.  I'm glad to finally hear a slight hope for actual good gun laws in Hawaii.
