A plate to go is easily done. Got 9 pounds of Kalua Pork cooking....if you don't come get some..I will be eating it for days  (also not a problem  )

I hope you guys are bringing this packet to the meeting tomorrow. I have several friends ( I will apply next week) that will probably go apply with me with some good old fashion friendly poking...Hell, I will even drive them and buy them lunch.  Pig is prepped and ready to cook. Got a table and some chairs...looking forward to whomever is coming. This is a no frills event. Call for directions.

You know you can just download all of the pages of the packet in my post on Page 2, right? 

But yes, I'll be bringing them with me tomorrow.

Great, the optest on my garage printer failed....

Thanks Alex for putting the forms together. 

Not a problem! Please hand them out to every gun owner that you know! Going to the range? Bring some packets. Going to a gun shop? Bring some packets. Hell, going to the mall...bring some packets! 

- Alex

Thanks for those packets Alex. Makes it a lot easier to do this. 
What's up with the photos? Didn't see or hear of anything like that before.

Well, there is a place on the bottom of the application that you fill out at the Firearms Division for them to attach the photos to, but they conveniently left out that tidbit of information. It's almost like they want to make it difficult and time consuming to apply or something...nah, that CAN'T be it.

OK, it's been 1 week...7 days...

Status report: Who else has made it down to apply for their permit? Who has passed out flyers? Where? Who has any questions for Chris or myself about the process or their application? Where are we on getting an official stance from the HRA on this?

- Alex

I believe this is the youngblood they were seeking too. Anywhos, may the momentum never stop!

Just printin some more of Alex's papers out.  Sorry but I'm double-siding it to save paper 

I'm a slow starter but once I get warmed up I'm g2g 

I passed out some today. Have a few interested parties. Hard to talk about it at work because we have shit to do, but I will keep banging away. Got 2 at least that want to go soon. One is CPO in my building who is a repeat . He went once and was told not to bother. He didn't go much past that and was bewildered after reading the handout.

He was also rather pissed off..

Any official position from HRA will be a while, as no board meeting are scheduled until after the first of the new year...but, I will see if I can talk to folks in the meantime and if we might be able to do something sooner....

That would be good...this is a relatively short-fused action.

ETA: Doesn't the legislative session start up in January...? I'm kinda surprised that there aren't any BOD meetings before then.

Legislative agenda was formulated in the last couple of meetings and are being effected by the appropriate members of the legislative committee....alreay spoke to some legislators and am planning meetings with others "as we speak."

Should hit me up when you get a meeting with some of these guys. I would be very interested to sit down and listen, and discuss if wanted some of the issues. 
What stuff are we looking at for the session?  And what hurdles do we think we will have at this point for whatever we do.

Time again for the weekly check-in.

I hit up all of the pro-gun types that I know of at work. Yesterday, Chris and I met up at the MPPL/USPSA pistol match: we handed out application packets, a new flyer that Chris put together, and talked to a bunch of people. Chris also took a bunch of video and pictures, so we'll see what he ends up doing with that.

Everyone else: Status Report. Who applied? Who passed out application packets? HRA?

- Alex

Videos are up on youtube, photos are up on flikr. Uploading more as people contact me. 

nice vids.  looks like fun.

The application packets will be posted on the HRA website along with a brief statement about the HRA supporting both the right to carry a concealed carry and the exercise of that right by those so inclined by applying for a CCW permit. I will also ask (Chris, I assume it's OK to do so...) that the HawaiiCCW site be linked to for additional info.

I only had time to briefly review the application documents from this thread, and saw there was at least one minor edit needed before I can post it. If those documents have been updated, let me know, otherwise I will make those minor corrections and get everything posted. I am also thinking a small blurb in the next HRA newsletter might be a good idea.....

Sorry it's taken me a while but work has been crazy....
