It's funny that you mention that. Someone already did that inside someone else's post. Not mentioning any names :P That where most of the new guys are coming from, I suspect.

Hiya Point Blank. Nice gun purchases. I was thinking about the P226 Navy also. I didn't know OGC still had any in stock, I wonder if they still do? Earlier I said I didn't want one because I'm not in the Navy, and I didn't really like the anchor engraving. But I changed my mind and wouldn't mind one now.

Anyway I'm probably gonna head up to Koko Head this weekend to shoot my P230SL for the first time. The reduced hours suck, so I guess I should try to be there in the morning.

Oh yeah, I was wondering if your name is in reference to the old Namco arcade game of the same name? I used to play that game a little bit long ago, but I sucked at it. My college friends used to try to get me to play that game to make fun of me and get revenge on me for beating them at other kinds of games.

Recently I was looking around to see if any light-gun home console games still existed. I thought it would be a cheap way to practice certain aspects of shooting skills. But I think light-guns went extinct because most of the newer HDTVs don't work with them. How sad.

Yeah they had one in stock, my father is a sig fanatic and he taught the engraved anchor was out of the norm for typical pistols hence why he got one. The P30L will be my primary shooter.

I didn't think about that game ever since you mentioned it. I used to own in that game at any fun factory on this island. This was intermidiate days. But, no I didn't get my name from that game. I was simply thinking of an alias for this forum and i came up with "Point Blank". :thumbsup:

I decided to come up with a new alias for gun-related forums/sites as well. Didn't really have anything in mind but since I decided to buy wimpy .380s to start out, I'm calling myself PeaShooter.

Come to think of it, I suddenly remember I used to know this guy in Hawaii about 10 years ago who also called himself Point Blank on forums. I wonder if you are the same guy. Probably not.

I was wondering where everyone went.  Well then I too am an FH transferee (Sgt_Ox) but with a new alias (yeah I know not much of a difference but there is a meaning).  I'm a veteran of the Marine Corps so I do have a history of firearms training but still fairly new to the community of personally owning firearms (as of this year).  I may not be one to buy every cool firearm out on the market but I consider my taste rather practical and functional.  Also please forgive my lack of posting (from here on out), for reasons I cannot state I intentionally limit my online presence.

Welcome to all of the new members! It looks like we're starting to get the word out.  :shaka:


RHSC, can we bring our own guns and rent a lane by the 1/2 hour or hour?

Hi!  Your first woman member here.  I know barely anything about guns but my husband is a gun lover.  I have been skimming the site and have been wanting to join for awhile.  Just here to learn and to support our constitutional rights.

Thanks, Funtimes.  :D
I am learning a lot from reading the threads.  A lot of the information sounds foreign to me.  BTW, I like your Hawaii CCW site.  I give you credit for taking so much initiative to get things done.  Awesome job!!!

TLC,

   Welcome! Please don't be shy about asking questions about anything that sounds foreign. If there is something that you don't understand, then there are certainly others out there who also don't understand as well.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

I appreciate that, Alex.  I think if anything, I am more interested in the political side of things than actual guns (types, makes, models, scopes, etc.).  Not sure if more women are the same?  But being able to find a group of Hawaii people who have similar interests and political views is great.  It would be nice to have more women on this board who have similar views and are interested in discussing constitutional issues (or other, similar woman-related-things :D).

Maybe there are other women lurkers out there?  If so, join and post!  I don't know much about guns, but you can ask me any questions on homeschooling or cloth diapering.  :P  <rant>Don't even get me started on Hawaii's homeschooling laws and how the government puts the burden on law abiding citizens to register and do paperwork when the actual child abusers and ones who neglect their kids are NOT the ones filing out the paperwork and taking annual tests!  Kind of like how they make the law abiding citizens go through all the hassles of registering their guns when obviously the criminals aren't doing the same.  :grrr: </rant>

:D
