Does Tom Selleck live here?
He used to live on Black Point Rd when he was filming Magnum PI.  He sold that house long time ago.  He was one of my clients when I had my tree service, along with Jim Nabors, who still lives here, and Richard Chamberlain who moved back to the mainland years ago.  I don't know any of their views on gun ownership.

I do believe Ken Onion is pro gun but he is only a celebrity in the knife world.

Didn't he kill someone before?


He was convicted of murder but he didn't kill anyone. He was involved some sort of criminal activity where his friend killed a pimp. I cannot remember if it was drug or gang related.

In 1976, Chapman was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to five years in a Texas prison. He had been waiting in a car when his friend accidentally shot and killed alleged pimp and drug dealer Jerry Oliver (aged 69)  in a struggle during a deal to buy cannabis.

Chapman served 18 months at Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas. While he was in prison, his first wife LaFonda divorced him and married his best friend. During his incarceration, he did field work and acted as the warden's barber. It was while serving his sentence that he was inspired by a prison guard to become a bounty hunter after he tackled an inmate about to be shot for attempting to escape. Chapman was paroled in January 1979.

Due to his felony conviction, Chapman is not allowed to own a firearm. He has been barred from entering the UK.

I didn't know Grace Park was progun.  Sounds like someone that could help out.  Though I heard she's a bit difficult to work with sometimes.  Be awesome to see her in the Boomer outfit.
I don't think Grace is progun, but could be wrong.  She is definitely lacking in social Graces. 

Daniel Dae Kim and Alex O'Loughlin enjoyed at least one shooting session at KKHD that I am familiar with and enjoyed it quite a bit.  The vibe I get is that they like guns personally, but I don't think their official stances are progun.  At least not to the point that they speak on behalf of 2A topics.   It wouldn't surprise me if they actually hold a pro gun control stance due to their affiliation.  I will say that Hawaii 50 has had some serious anit gun / gun control stances in some episodes, one in particular which was over the top gun control.

Surf's right... My wife used to watch Hawaii-50 until there was this one episode that had some anti-gun / anti-gun rights remarks from Danno.  She's pretty much stopped watching that show since and I only watched it whenever she did.

Those are all very good suggestions.  I don't have any plans right now, but I'm looking for celebrities that can help our cause such as being a spokesman, participating in events for media coverage, and our legislative efforts.

From my Oahu Gun Club thread I also got:
Butch Helemano - local musician and runs the range at X-ring
Audy Kimura - local musician and video production involved with HRA and Friends of the NRA
Olena Ruben - Miss USA and shooting sports hawaii
Greg Hammer - Krater 96.3
Ramsey Wharton - Hawaii News Now.

Dog The Bounty Hunter is very pro gun, but anti lead bullet!!

I think he's a convicted felon and can't have a gun.

That is the reason he uses those paintball guns with rubber bullets.

Reading about Beth Chapman and how she behaves reminded me about the truly nice celebrities who lived and worked here.
One of the truly great entertainers of my generation was the late Jim Nabors. He just passed away at his home here last week.
I helped to do a documentary about Jim and got this token of appreciation for it.

He had one of the best baritone voices I have ever heard. One hell of a singer. RIP

I know we are getting a little off the topic, bit I just have to say, I have known Jim Nabors since 1991.  He even gave me his unlisted phone number and email address.  He was a truly genuinely nice person with not a mean bone in his body.  He will be missed by a lot of people for sure.
