Never been to this store.  With this burglary and criminal/improper use of byrnas, expect bills in the legislature to restrict them.

Two dozen Byrna guns were stolen Sunday morning from a gun shop in the Maikiki/ McCully area.

Wrong place, mods can you put this in GD

Report calls them firearms...

Owner says "Now I can undertand what my customers go through" (with regard to being a victim).  What a douche.

Yeah, strange thing to say.
But I think I understand what he meant.
Also, when a person sticks a TV camera in your face, you don't have time to write out a thoughtful statement and deliver an eloquent speech.

uneducated and misinformed people driving the gun-control agenda.

Either that or they do know but don't care.  What is fact and truth nowadays in today's society.  Driving the agenda is all that matters.

I've had to do video interviews with the news for HIFICO over the years.  It's something I'm bad at.  At least in Hawaii, the media tries to edit it to make it better for the interviewee.  Sometimes they get things wrong tho.

Was this "gun shop" (according to the article) an actual gun shop selling Byrna or is it just a 100% Byrna Dealer?

If it was a gun shop, interesting that no firearms were stolen.

Also, no mention as to how the burglars broke in.  Smash and grab?  Pick lock?  Inside job?

Interesting.

People need to realize that the people being interviewed are ansewring a question or given direction on what to say(basically the same thing). But the news does not give the question asked. I dont think they just stick the microphone in front of your face and wait for you to talk. Everyone has their own agenda and everyone puts thier own twist on things. Its interesting to see.

It doesn't matter if the media calls a non-lethal gun a "firearm" or not.

If someone uses one of these in a crime, the CC licensee or cop standing nearby won't see anything other than a firearm when he starts shooting.

Play stupid games...

It sounds like he was trying to empathize with them. It could also be an epiphany he had, it is one thing to understand burglary, it is another thing to experience it and the discomfort that comes with it.

agreed
That's what I think he was thinking.
But when a news reporter stands in front of you with a camera, it's not uncommon to fumble for words.
It's like stage fright.

KHON2 this morning said "firearms were stolen from a firearms store".

Byrna.

I wonder if a bill will be presented about pepper ball type air guns this coming session.  And a bb gun state law, since we already have a Honolulu County Ordinance about this.

Byrna Hawaii is not a FFL

Byrna Hawaii is not a FFL

OMG!  And they are selling "firearms?"  How could this be allowed??

 

As things currently are in Hawaii with regard to less lethal airguns, like Byrnas, are people only allowed to keep and use them inside their own homes or properties?
Can folks legally CC these in their car or on their person in public, despite how much the state government is trying to legislate firearm related CC out of existence?

I would carry one if only the airlines, let alone the government wouldn't hassle me about A.) packing one in my checked luggage or B.) Having it on my person while visiting Oahu.
You can't bar our US constitutional right to have a projectile device (firearm or not) to protect ourselves and our property while not increasing the police presence and expect crime to
magically go down.

Based on what KHON likes to report on, the crime issue isn't going away on it's own! Armed society or big police presence, you can't deny us both you jack@$$es!

You can carry stun guns and tasers, and you can carry pepper spray.

These should be no different.
