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! READ AND HEED All purchases and verbal discussions at Kaneohe Gun Shop imply personal responsibility of the customer.

 

Wednesday Jan 6:  stupid actions by fellow Americans in

Washington DC will bring further issues for freedom

including firearm ownership in the United States.

 

Be aware: these directives are on Biden's website -BidenPlansOnFirearms- [some listed below] These will change America's freedoms for personal firearm ownership and your ability for self-defense!!   Ban manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. and as always, the criminals will prevail as they never abide gun laws   Buy back assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in our communities. how would individuals recoup their true costs for such items?   End the online sale of firearms and ammunitions. [prohibit all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits, and gun parts] Restrictions on non-serialized parts kits, spare parts for repair/replacement?   Reduce stockpiling of weapons. [Restrict the number of firearms an individual may purchase per month to one] Wait now - a lawful citizen would be limited to how many firearms they can acquire for sport, hunting, defense, collecting, investment?

 

FFL transfer fees and shipping costs: CASH

Any merchandise purchases under $20: CASH

And since two individuals ran charge card disputes to my shop in

just 8 months of Covid, any ammunition purchase must be cash

 

DO NOT COME HERE 'JUST TO LOOK' or 'TO WASTE SOME TIME' or to get information on how to aquire a firearm. Go to HPD link below. HPD Firearms procedures : all by appointment only - HPD Firearms webpage: make appointment online -   Come on by when you are ready to purchase, have specific item(s) in mind, or to see examples of featured items shown on main inventory page or specials page.   ***  Store Schedule may vary this week  *** check below for the week's schedule updates to be posted   Thu, Fri  12-5pm Sat Jan 16  Closed Sun Jan 17  12-3pm

No commonly requested ammo is orderable like before no .22 rimfire, .223/5.56, 7.62x39, .308 no 9mm, .40cal, .45acp, .38spec, .357 Any ammo that arrives for sale must be paid by cash, will be sold higher than retail, and have quantity limits   No positive estimate when more will be available. It has been dismal since July 2020, and now with resulting election shenanigans; it doesn't matter who gets into office. The fallout either way affects everyone and all commerce, perhaps all thru 2021 due to Covid & shameful actions of fellow citizens.

CONCERNING INBOUND PRESIDENCY AND CONTINUED CORONAVIRUS:

items harder to find, takes longer to ship out from distributor warehouses

demand of merchandise needed is higher than supply, select new inventory

cannot be found at distributors; thus pricing of current inventory must rise

 

Virtually all commonly requested/desparately needed inventory from big distributors is still ZERO! [ guns - ammo - accessories ]   Big distributors with multiple locations nationwide still have 2 - 3 day covid issue delays in packing and shipping orders.      All across America there are thousands of new gun owners depleting normal national inventories, bringing about gouging, and produces more uncertain, inexperienced firearm owners.            Absolutely pray that individuals be smart, careful and thinking of those around them and beyond what is seen at the moment. Irresponsible individuals will bring blame upon all gun owners.          Since there is very limited supply of obvious necessities, crucial ammunition and guns have been at higher prices nationwide; clear result of demand outpacing any supply.   -Enlightening: Gun industry vows not to get burned again-

 

VIRTUALLY EVERY GUN POPULARLY SOUGHT AFTER OR REQUESTED

 IS NON-EXISTENT AT NATIONAL DISTRIBUTORS. THIS NON-SUPPLY

SITUATION INCLUDES IMPORTANT AMMUNITION AND ACCESSORIES

 

Since July 2020, all that can be found at most nationwide

distributors are the high echelon / top tier / specialty guns.

Since industry distributors don't have their usual inventories

of firearms and accessories, most consumers search online

sellers on gunbroker or similar to acquire their desired items-

unavoidably at much higher pricing than usual at local shops.

Buy locally when you can; ensure your local firearm sources!

 

January 1 2021

How anyone (even if they became gun owners at the end of 2020)

claims they didn't know guns & ammo have been unavailable for

the past 6 - 8 months has got to be clueless or truly ignorant.

On Monday March 16 of 2020, news of Covid hit worldwide.

Senseless calamity and infighting among fellow Americans

within the continental US itself has caused unprecedented

demand for everything firearms. By May 2020 it was clear:

popular guns & ammo have all been sold out at suppliers.

For those who call or come by asking about ammo availability

thank you for checking - but don't tell me or other gunshops

you don't see how there is no ammo. Now commonly desired

guns, parts, and especially ammunition is at a continuing rise

in value and selling price. It can be seen on Gunbroker.com.

 

I cannot believe how high the prices of guns and parts have risen to across the nation - check Gunbroker.com and search the spectrum of popular semiauto handgun and rifle manufacturer or model keywords and even as a 30+ years firearms dealer, I never thought the outcome of coronavirus and nationwide entitlement / shameful actions / racism would create millions of new firearm owners & high levels of gouging. Since July 2020, resurgence of national inventory purchasing has depleted all popular guns, ammo, parts - cleaning out distributors! If you wanted to get this or that; firearm or not, you need to act now. Pay for goods, get guns secured, complete prerequisites, do it now!

 

 

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 -

POSTED:   Fair Warning Sorry, no service given to anyone who:   - Argues/whines about firearms permit requirements (there's no instant fix for improving HI laws so don't try to teach me about how it is better in  other states) - You think I like the restrictions we have here in Hawaii? No dealer can complete firearm transfers unless person clears requirements! If we aren't involved with the good fight and political effort, we cannot complain.   - Proclaims that I don't seem to appreciate military service personel because further discounts aren't offered on prices already as low as possible yet somehow keep doors open as a gunshop in Hawaii.   - Insinuates they know more about firearms, training or tactics more than    others who haven't (as far as they think) served in a LE or MIL capacity. (and often end up revealing they recognize only one side of numerous tactical situations)   - Projects an attitude of deserved entitlement because they are better than others - or worse, brags about how much better they are since they conceal carry in other states. If one is so superior, be humble and find out what it takes to bring others up to speed.   Amazing isn't it? There are those who go around presenting the above headaches and I will not tolerate it - neither should the next good citizen in Hawaii or elsewhere

NOTICE REGARDING ALL FIREARM PURCHASES No refunds on any firearms once serial numbers are issued to purchaser.

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.

Kaneohe Gun Shop is located at 45-1117 Kamehameha Hwy Link: pictures of building on Kam Hwy

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-
