Stay out of any adjoining cemeteries, and you'll be fine.  if there are no actual projectiles, then there's nothing illegal going on.

Best not to be in plain view of everybody, or they will probably call the cops.  If they do, memorize your lines:

"I do not consent!"

"I am not resisting!"

'Do you know who I am?!"

yes

Depends on your risk tolerance.  If someone sees you outside of your home with a firearm, especially if it looks like you’re getting ready to shoot it, I think you can expect a visit from the police.  Would they be able to successfully hang a charge on you?  Hard to say; but as “they” say, “the process IS the punishment.”

You really need a caveat with that advice...

Ask The Mayor on his iHeart Podcast. It says it gives people direct access to Mayor Blangiardi where he engages with people and answers their questions. 

It should make for an interesting discussion.

No, that phrase is straight forward.  Unless you are talking about "I do not answer any questions without a lawyer" statement, which means you are now talking to the cops.

This.

I would say as long as you're not pointing it at anyone that can see you doing so.  So if your yard is fenced and no one can see what you're doing.  Because although you may be dry firing, your neighbor doesn't know that and all they see is someone pointing a gun in their direction.  I know a guy who was dry firing in his garage with the door open.  HPD was called and was across the street from open door garage watching.  They didn't make contact or do anything.

Curious to know as to why he would want to practice with the door open.  It seems like it would draw a lot of needless attention.

You are correct.  Never answer questions.
Make statements, ask questions.
I need a lawyer.
Am I free to go?
Am I being detained?
Obviously you have to comply with directions.
They like to shoot people and get away with that,
but you don't have to help them do their job.

Ha ha!   Just go for it!

As someone who has dry fired in his garage… because it gets facking HOT in there with the door closed.

For the record, I kept the door closed and just dropped a bunch of water weight.

Understand completely.  I work out in my garage and yes it gets fricken hot.  But most if not all garages have side doors.  I open that one a bit and my garage door I open only a foot or so off the ground.

Fresh air passes through and still no one can see me.

yeah, it would be nice to do gun cleaning on the lanai in back of my house, fresh breeze and all, but HI being fervent anti-gun, anti-2A, I don't want to invite the penalty process by an ignorant paranoid neighbor who happens to look over  the fence, which unfortunately is only chest-high, even for short HI people.

and then the neighbors consider you to be The Gun Nut, and Red Flag laws and all... 

too much down-side risk.  JMHO.

ETA:  I guess that makes me the paranoid person.
