Serious issue that has been increasing over the past 6 years:
There have been some individuals (most were in the military)
claim chargeback disputes on card transactions months after
they had guns sent over or shipped out, then left the islands -
and in each incident (averaging $50 ~ $100) it already is taken
out of my business account. How can gunshops prevent such
malicious acts? This has happened on non-gun items as well!
And this is in the sanctity in the world of firearms?
What kind of a gun owner disputes a gunshop's operational
costs when charges provided a service on their gun(s)?
THIS IS WHY CURRENT POLICY IS CASH ONLY FOR:
AMMUNITION , TRANSFER FEES , SHIPPING COSTS
STOP COMPARING ONLINE PRICING
TO BRICK & MORTAR STORE PRICES
YOUR LOCAL GUNSHOP HAS DAILY-MONTHLY COSTS & RENT,
MUST FULFILL ANNUAL INSPECTIONS BY ATF,
AND UPHOLD LOCAL/NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
HELP US HELP YOU! SUPPORT LOCAL!
Otherwise, there'll be no support on-island for your gun interests!

Our nation and the world is swept up in the newest spin
of events - because of most unexpected issue of virus.
And now, the sensible reminder locally and nationwide:
AVOID , AVOID , AVOID
No need to go to questionable areas in concerning times.
Avoid instigators and troublemakers.
More than ever, those armed in the USA must be smart:
THINK FIRST. GUNS LAST. Don't be rash or act hastily!
Understand that you are responsible for your own actions!

All purchases and verbal discussions at Kaneohe Gun Shop

VICTORY AND GOOD NEWS as of Sep 30th 2021:
Immense gratitude to incredible work efforts by HiFiCo and
key individuals; Hawaii's in-person registration requirement
in HRS 134-3 has been found unconstitutional in Federal
District Court. The win in the lawsuit Yukutake vs Conners removes requirement to bring firearms to HPD for inspection.
Procedures to aquire and register firearms now streamlined!

National Shooting Sports Foundation estimated 20 million guns sold in 2020.
8 million were first-time buyers. Spokesperson stated "if 8.4 million gun
buyers all bought only one box of 50 rounds, that equals 420 million rounds.
Strong recommendation for many years before 2020 coronavirus:

Maintain a minimum of 6 mags & 1,000 rds per semiauto firearm
 
Secure ammunition and set aside spare parts. Don't want to be
affected by ammo shortage again - you know it's gonna happen
|
Want to protect yourself, family and loved ones?
Interested in shooting sports or collecting firearms;
preserving and building up on valuable investments
that you, friends or family already own? Get active
in firearms, prioritize and secure guns & parts now
before divisive politics and social media influence
more of the United States which will drive anti-gun
sentiment into votes; irreversible restrictive laws.
Learn facts, start permit process and get moving!

Specializing in defensive firearms and training, Kaneohe Gun Shop is your source for products that are proven and hold true to the adage
“you get what you pay for”. Quality only needs to be bought once, and the knowledge one acquires through the sale is perhaps the most valuable of all. Firearms for hunting and target shooting are likewise offered based on personal experience and reputable gun manufacturers' history or track record. Selling bargain guns or accessories just to make another markup in the store is not in my interest. Helping people arrive at higher ability in firearm and fighting skills in rapid time frames is my goal and that path does not allow wasted time/money with unnecessary/ inferior products or tedious learning processes.

This is why I talk up training beyond the typical gun range and why I pursue aggresive physical training 4 to 5 nights a week. - Kickboxing -
It is also why I recommend knife, empty hand
and 'improvised tools' reality training even more than live fire practice at a peaceful firing range. Progressive annual training is also my personal requirement, and that takes a budgeting of time and money that does not need to be spent on the next miracle gadget or promised wonder gun. Rehearsals and drills should be recurrent and frequent, not excessive range visits often sending rounds wastefully downrange. It does not need to take years for responsible gun owners to cultivate mindset and formidable ability to thwart malice and evil that may present itself to loved ones and innocent around us. -Force on Force- |
If you are concerned about personal protection, safeguarding your family and being prepared, why would you take ANY advice from
those who do not continuously train and progress in that manner?
[IF YOU HAVE NOTARIZED CERTIFICATE FROM ME prior to July 2021]
July 2021: For those who have completed Handgun Course certificates from my classes; there is a required update needed on the certificate.
Must re-issue them with update; email me at: kaneohegs@yahoo.com

It is important to secure firearms, parts and ammo:
Always be prepared; the evil and undesirable will continue unseen...
Everyone must recognize unstoppable measures are in the future
No gun laws will stop evil doers from conducting their crimes
Only the good citizens will be affected by firearm restrictions
Why can't the majority of Americans acknowledge that fact?
Media, celebrities, and now an incredible number of younger citizens -
this is the unimaginable yet real outcome of what I referred to in 2016:
"Everyone must realize that unstoppable measures are in the future..."
Always more misdirected anti-gun sentiment and frenzied social media;
accumulated public outcry resulting from tragic events involving firearms
You or I or any good person - cannot guarantee stopping all evil or evil doers.
No additional restrictions or legislation could protect everyone every second.
Always the lowest, reasonable pricing for a genuine brick & mortar storefront
Providing ETHICAL, HONEST, NO BULLSHIT recommendations and advice
on proven products I use and rely on, not just "another item to sell or markup"
I seek to find the best deals on quality proven firearms and products,
and will offer the lowest prices possible, rewarding repeat customers

Handgun purchases require 'notarized training certificate' and a two week waiting period.
Rifles and shotguns require a longgun permit. No one wants to deal with these procedures
but they are required and must be done along with filling out Federal fm 4473 upon pickup.
For rifles/shotguns: It takes two weeks to get a longgun permit and then it's good for a year.
- Firearm registration procedures with HPD -
I do not offer 'military or law enforcement discounts' because everyday prices are low enough.
I don't have items marked up high then offer a discount to give an impression of lower prices.
Repeat customers receive further discounts. Active NRA/LIFE instructors receive discounts.
That is how I believe it should be, and those who understand the concept will agree.
Factors considered on prioritizing: Demographics and local practicality
Priorities of shop inventory:
AR15 rifles, lowers, parts to build/repair ARs, Glock handguns, spare parts,
9mm - 5.56mm - 22lr ammunition, mags, few other popular calibers & mags,
few Surefire lights, reputable quality designed folding or fixed blade knives
Much of the decision is sensible; what will most people not only need now,
but also consider what will be sought after and be readily saleable/tradable!
- Firearms & Equipment Recommendations -
Not a priority for shop inventory:
.308 or larger calibers & firearms chambered for them, majority of revolvers,
most bolt/lever actions unless in .22lr, firearms circulating less than 10 years,
reloading items, binoculars, rangfinders, lasers, excess inventory of holsters.

The final symbol of freedom in America is the right to own firearms.
I sell products ethically. I don't merchandise unnecessary items or steer customers wrong
by sales pitching firearms and related accessories the way most shops do nationwide.
Firearms are serious. For defense, hunting, even shooting as a hobby: when you've had
enough of the BS in the firearm industry, you'll get honest answers and experience here.
- Why I have a different approach to firearms and equipment sales -
