... always handle a firearm with the up most respect
up most (INCORRECT)
utmost (CORRECT)
Link to Merriam-Webster definition of UTMOST

Other than that, I agree!

General Discussion / NRA dues increase
« on: March 03, 2016, 05:09:50 AM »
Dues go up at midnight on March 5th.
Now would be a good time to join, renew or extend your NRA membership at www.NRA2016.org
Lifetime NRA membership costs $500 now. After the deadline, it'll be more.

General Discussion / NRA Instructor classes question
« on: February 22, 2016, 08:37:14 AM »
I'm interested in NRA Instructor classes.

Questions:
  • I've taken the handgun safety training course required by the state of Hawaii. Is that sufficient prerequisite to take the NRA Instructor Pistol Shooting Course? Or should I acquire more knowledge/experience before attempting to take the class?
  • I sent an email to LIFE but never heard back. It's been nearly a month. Is there a better way to contact LIFE?
  • Who else offers the NRA Instructor courses?

Thanks in advance.

I got my NV permit mailed to me only 17 days after submitting the paperwork at the Sheriff's Office in Pahrump.
Wow, I thought I was the only person who's ever been to Pahrump! Home of Art Bell, Coast to Coast radio show!

i got a pm that said colt 6920-oem 2 without notthing more.
The Subject line said "Quote request" so I didn't feel the need to repeat it in the message body.
Anywho, I'll just drop by the shop next time. Less confusing.

The unedited video (graphic content may be unsuitable for some viewers):


Amazing footage.
AR-15 head shot at 20 yards in hostage situation.
High risk, high reward.

I subscribe to the "standard HPD ammo" advice too.
What is the standard HPD ammo?

My decision to switch to Verizon was based heavily on RootMetrics report.

I moved from Sprint to Verizon about a year ago. Have been very happy with Verizon speed and coverage.
Sprint is THE WORST CARRIER EVER! Abysmally slow.

General Discussion / "Enclosed container" as defined in HRS 134-25
« on: January 26, 2016, 03:27:21 PM »
HRS 134-25 says:
Quote
"Enclosed container" means a rigidly constructed receptacle, or a commercially manufactured gun case, or the equivalent thereof that completely encloses the firearm.
My question: Does a range bag qualify as an "enclosed container"? In particular, I own this range bag: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00O49WP60/?tag=2ahawaii-20
Does that qualify as an "enclosed container"?

Thanks in advance.

I'd be interested to know if HPD would issue the victim a CCW permit. Or would they say No because the accused was Not Guilty.

For a first AR, I would highly recommend a basic one and lots of ammo to shoot and learn the gun.  When I bought my first AR, I had a whole list of things that I wanted to add, modify, etc.  Many of the things that I bought ended up in my box of spare parts and other things never materialized.  My perception of what is "needed" on the gun and what I wanted changed over time, particularly with shooting the gun on the range and in carbine classes.
Thanks for the input, drck1000. If I decide to buy a basic first gun, would a Colt 6940 fit the bill, at least until I figure out what I really want?
