We need to demand to see the report and the bullets.

here's one... no different than the found one

.

Except during the time of re-construction / reconfiguration they could limit the range to pistol caliber rifles only and black powder. No reason to completely close the range.

Koko Head rifle range temporarily closed after new reports of stray bullets

East Oahu – Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced that the rifle range within the Koko Head Shooting Complex will be temporarily closed effective tomorrow following two new reports today of stray bullets.

“I am a strong supporter of the Koko Head Shooting Complex because it is one of the only safe and legal places for responsible members of Oahu’s shooting and hunting community to practice safe shooting,” said Mayor Caldwell.  “We made the difficult decision to temporarily close the rifle range in an abundance of caution for the safety of those in the surrounding community, but I am committed to installing emergency mitigation measures in order to reopen the range as soon as possible.”

Mayor Caldwell discussed some of the options to reopen the range.

“We want to repair the rifle range berm directly behind the targets, which has been eroded over the years, so it will better absorb bullets.  I would also like to construct a visual overhang that would remind shooters to aim their rifles properly.”

The closure only applies to the rifle range.  The complex will remain open during normal hours and the pistol, silhouette, archery, action, skeet, and trap ranges remain open.

No injuries have been reported, only property damage.  This is a precautionary measure.

Media advisory: Mayor Kirk Caldwell, Director of Parks and Recreation Toni Robinson, and Range Master Mike Moramoto will be available tomorrow, Saturday December 7, at 11:30 a.m. at the Koko Head Shooting Complex to answer questions about the closure.

I was just going to mention that 22LR and other handgun calibers for now....

i have the day off due to the kaneohe christmas parade

Can't make it.
Ask them about this case: http://www.kitv.com/news/hawaii/bullet-suspected-of-hitting-moving-car-at-sandy-beach/-/8905354/20337656/-/ir9g5h/-/index.html

Perhaps now most of the shooters that utilize the range but make no contribution to pro-2a groups will now get more involved and make donations.

If every single person that goes to the range on a weekly/monthly basis can donate just $10-20, I don't see how we wouldn't get the funds to pay for the repairs ourselves.

Of course, then the idiots who want to shut down the range will prolong the investigation as long as possible so we wouldn't be able to do so.

q
unfortunately that has been suggested before
union and city rules stonewalled volunteers from maintaining/upgrading the range
any donation goes to the general fund and not to the range

Time to warm up those emails again!  Start writing and keep on writing until they reopen the range!  Are the 'two new incidents' the same ones that where discussed in the recent meeting, or are there 2 NEW incidents? What kind of investigation are they conducting? Are they looking into the possibility that KNudsen is a lying sack of S*** that allegedly brought an unfired bullet for evidence?  What is going to be done if that turns out to be the case?  What is being done about opening a venue on the leeward side?   

 Good lord don't 'settle' for .22 and pistol caliber.   This is your RIGHTS!

and we got owned...

The good news is: Now HDF is going to have hundreds, if not thousands, of members. 

Hey Knudsen; you just provided indefinite funding for the 2a cause. Way to go, dumb ass.

I like your thinking Q!

I'm in for a trade turn kokohead in to the new dump sight replacement for the waimanalo landfill and turn the landfill into the new range! Definitely would be wayyyyy better.

Also, log into all these news source comments and inform the misinformed that the idea of projectiles leaving the range is not very likely and the reporter of these incidents is suspect.

There ought to be 1000 emails per week until this is remedied!

+1 for macsak!

Don't hold your breath about getting this fixed. Caldwell only cares about rail, everything else can wait.. or go away.

I beg to differ. Caldwell has been, and I suspect he'll continue to be, a strong supporter of shooters and efforts to improve the range.
