Hawaii Firearms Coalition
« on: September 24, 2018, 04:54:55 PM »


Please take a look at the new group a few of us founded, the HAWAII FIREARMS COALITION. It's a non-profit 501c4 group dedicated to lobbying for gun rights in Hawaii, grassroots activism, and judicial action.

We have recently funded an amicus brief (research paper written by an attorney) to support the Young v Hawaii case for open carry in Hawaii. We have many things planned for the future to educate and rally the firearms community. This isn't an organization you pay to join and sit back. YOU are responsible for taking action as a member to protect gun rights.

We'll have classes to help improve activism, support those that want leading gun rights projects, rallys, lobbying legislators, and other projects.  We seek to help the many facets of the gun community - self defense, hunting, range development, shooting sports, etc.

Visit us at the HHAA Great Guns show this weekend, we're by the cowboys in the back. Blaisdell Center, Sept 29-30 10am to 5pm.

Apply for memberships at:

A donor from the Hawaii Firearms Coalition is matching donations to the Friends of the NRA during the gun show weekend, up to $5,000 in total for the weekend.

Please stop by the FNRA table, the kids with buckets, and make a donation.  The money supports the junior air rifle teams in Hawaii who are the next generation of gun owners.

As a new organization I'm sure you folks have a lot on your plate.  Maybe down the road you can consider if it's worthwhile to become a CMP affiliated organization.  This might help in attracting new members.

We'll look at affiliations early next year and see which ones best match our organization.  CMP is a shooting organization, not lobbying or activism related so may not be a good fit for our organization.  We'll take a look at it when the time comes.

Is there another way to pay besides Square since they are anti-gun now and just cut off all the gun dealers using them?  I'd rather they not get their cut. 

Also, Is there an option for no T shirt?  I'd just like the full payment to go to fund you guys.

Thanks for getting this up and going

With online processors pretty much all of them are owned by anti gun groups. The reason we chose to use square was done based on fees and ease of use for customers.

If you don’t want a t-shirt but still any that level of membership just put it in the notes when you pay

thanks,  if you get a PO box for checks/cash or take something like bitcoin in the future it would be nice to pay without having to fund any of them.

For something else down the line, consider adding the charity to Amazon smile to get donations
https://org.amazon.com/

Not sure what the requirements are but Oregon Firearms Federation has generated a $3-4000 in donations that way.

I don't know if they really get money But I set GOA as mine.
for Amazon.
I will contact and see If I can switch to Hawaii firearms coalition.
I prefer to use paypal for online orders. 
There is a way to bypass their anti-gun BS.
Direct pay. to an individual, you still get all the protections.
I have a 26.5 mm signal device and flares all paid through
paypal. You guys here would know that is a flare gun.
Work paypal into the website and  you have a new outer island member.
I've had too many problems with Hawaiian purchases
that I had to cancel cards. That is usually a pain.
Never lost any money yet, but the hassle, is irritating.

We'll take a look at the Amazon donations and others a bit later.  Still focusing on getting basic organization functions up and a solid membership base right now.

Just for clarity what is HFC's position on open carry?  Looks like Feds approve, local gov no.

The right to bear arms does NOT stop within your home.

We have hired a lawyer to submit an amicus brief (a legal argument) against rehearing Young and to let the 3 judge panel's decision stand, Thus affirming the right to bear arms outside of the home.

I (one of the directors) also have a lawsuit against the state right now in the Federal court system that would legalize the possession of tasers and allow them to be carried outside of the home.

So we are PRO open carry.

Welcome to the club!  We need all the help we can get.  One of our extended long term goals is to get 5,000 testimonies within 48 hours on a big bill.  We got 500 in 3 weeks for the bump stocks, so we need 10x that in 1/10th the time.
