Friday Feb 3, 2023 Emergency alert; there are two significant gun control bills coming up for hearing next week. This is a quick notice, I’ll be sending more information this weekend.
City and County of Honolulu Bill 57 This is the city’s ban on Sensitive Places – schools, parks, government buildings, public places without a “guns allowed” sign, etc. We oppose the original draft as there is no historical precedent for these restrictions. We have worked with council member Tupola on drafting a compromise bill CD1 which limits the sensitive locations to which SCOTUS has previously mentioned: government buildings, polling places and requires standardized signage if a private property owners prohibits guns on their premises. It is something we don’t think is necessary, but can accept as it abides by the SCOTUS ruling. Bill 57: https://hnldoc.ehawaii.gov/hnldoc/document-download?id=15840 Bill 57 CD1 Tupola draft: https://hnldoc.ehawaii.gov/hnldoc/document-download?id=16313 Agenda & Testimony Instructions: https://hnldoc.ehawaii.gov/hnldoc/document-download?id=16324 Hearing is scheduled for Tuesday Feb 7 2023 at 1pm at Honolulu Hale. Please submit your written testimony prior to the hearing. We are asking for the maximum number of people to appear in person to testify, at least 100. You may also testify via videoconference request (see instructions).
State Legislature SB 1230 carry license and sensitive locations This bill bans guns in sensitive places, similar to Bill 57, and prohibits the issuing of CCW permits to persons under vague terms or minor infractions, invasion of privacy, transport of firearms in a locked container, and other restrictive laws. We completely oppose this bill. https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=1230&year=2023 Please submit your written testimony at the link above by 2-5-23 3pm, or you may still submit testimony later but it’ll be marked late. The hearing is on Monday 2-6-23 at 3pm, please attend in person or do remote testimony if possible. We are asking a thousand written testimonies to be submitted.

Feb 12 Sunday Closed
Upcoming Concealed Carry Classes PREREQUISITES:
Attendee must be known to me as a customer [gun owner] who has acquired firearm(s) thru me in the past,
[ which means they are in good legal standing and have already gone through proper background check(s) ]
and bring a copy of HPD handgun registration for the handgun they will utilize for this concealed carry class.
AND / OR
Attendee provides copy of attendance in any recognized firearms training school or NRA Law Enforcement
or NRA Defensive Pistol Course curriculum that involves holster usage AND brings a copy of HPD handgun
registration for the handgun they will utilize for this concealed carry class.
THESE ATTRIBUTES ARE MY REQUIREMENTS, VITAL FOR THE SAFETY AND CONCERNED LIABILITY FOR
MYSELF AND ALL PRESENT DURING CLASSROOM AND LIVE-FIRE QUALIFICATION ELEMENTS OF CLASS
Classroom lecture must be done thoroughly and properly. It is concerning how word has gotten around
on others' classroom content that has been sped through and apparently lacking in quality instruction.
HPD Chapter 15 Rules of the Chief of Police outlines that in the minimum 4 hour lecture, extremely
important subjects to be covered include FIrearm Use in Low Light Situations, Firearm Retention, and
Risks of Carrying FIrearms in Public. Rightfully, these are very serious subjects. In addition to discussing
chapters 134 and 703 of Hawaii Revised Statutes and more specific topics on use of Firearms, it truly
would be requiring the classroom segment to span over 4 hours. Furthermore, do other instructor’s
long-running background, experience levels, and certifications truly qualify them to teach such content?
My decades of experience in civilian, military/law enforcement instruction in addition to attendance and
qualifications in an extensive amount of firearms courses combine to present class attendees with solid,
thorough, quality instruction in an unforgiving and potentially life-altering decision on Concealed Carry.
Classroom portion allotment 5 hours - separate day: gunshop 3 openings available Feb 12 Sunday 12-5pm [Payment required to reserve spot] Conducted indoors. Bring your Government issued photo ID, notebook and pen
Required equipment: your concealed carry handgun, two magazines, IWB holster, mag pouch(es) (Revolver users: bring at least two speedloaders) Wear proper belt that accomodates the holster and mag pouch(es).
Shirt / jacket that comfortably covers your defensive tools and equipment on your waistline.
No ankle holsters or small-of-back holsters. No shoulder rigs or purses/bags as carry devices.
Holster and equipment usage refinement, preparation and review.
NO LIVE AMMUNITION.
Live Fire portion allotment 2 hours - separate day: private range 8 openings available Mar 4 Saturday 9-11am [Payment required to reserve spot] Conducted outdoors. Bring your Government issued photo ID, notebook and pen
Eye and ear protection, sunscreen, hat. Long pants and shoes required; no shorts or slippers.
Required equipment: your concealed carry handgun, FOUR magazines, IWB holster, mag pouch(es) (Revolver users: bring four to six speedloaders) Wear proper belt that accomodates the holster and mag pouch(es).
[FOUR magazines loaded appropriately allows the live-fire qualification course of fire to flow smoothly;
minimum of just one spare mag can be positioned on qualifier’s beltline for each qualifying distance]
Shirt / jacket that comfortably covers your defensive tools and equipment on your waistline.
No ankle holsters or small-of-back holsters. No shoulder rigs or purses/bags as carry devices.
Dry fire prep and review, sensible warm up and smoothness of presentation prior to qualification.
Minimum 50 rounds ammunition.
Both Classroom Lecture and Live-Fire Qualification portions are mandatory to meet HPD requirements.

Training is the Priority
Guns purchased / unclaimed / not arranged for shipment to FFLs in other states after
60 days will be subject to sale or disposition. These guns are subject to storage fees.
Handguns $1/day, Longguns $2/day. Storage fees will apply to any claim for firearms.
Firearms left over 60 days are forfeit, will be sold, and cannot be claimed by anyone.
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:
TRANSFER FEES AND SHIPPING COSTS
FFL transfer fees and shipping costs: CASH
Any merchandise purchases under $20: CASH
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! |
NOTICE REGARDING ALL FIREARM PURCHASES No refunds on any firearms once serial numbers are issued to purchaser. |
As of June 1 2021: Firearms not picked up within 1 month: storage fees apply after 30 days Handguns $1/day Longguns $2/day Unless arrangements have already been made, firearms on hold over 2 months [many on hold 3 months or more!!] will not continue to be secured and stored here rent-free. They will be put up for sale and transferred immediately. Continuous warnings and reminders have been posted here with signage in store and verbally stated since October 2020 |
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! |
Training is the Priority
|
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

Handgun Courses for Hawaii Requirements Firearm Testing and Protective Gun Finishes Musings & Observations: Facts to Consider LIFE / Hawaii Rifle Association Fun Shoot |
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?
Remember what I posted way back in 2016 at beginning of Trump's term:
Everyone must recognize unstoppable measures are in the future
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 -
SSF 2019 was held July 20 & 21 at Koko Head Shooting Complex
