Since December 2012, stores and sellers nationwide have taken advantage

of many buyers who willingly paid way too high prices on nearly everything.

Now that politics and firearm frenzy has slowed down a bit, unethical sellers

have slowly lowered their gouging prices. (same cycle happened in 2008-09)

I do not overcharge consumers on 'hard to get' products. Remember that.

Sellers that claimed the battle cry of 'supply and demand' showed their true colors

and brazenly ripped people off, attacking the emotional weakness of consumers.

Remember what they did and who they were.

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 -

Apparently, anyone can be an instant expert once they read all about guns online...

There also seems to be expert ability by those that have 'shot and carried guns all their life'

and apparently they know way more than a firearms dealer that has been around 25 years.

There are also those who seem to know everything about firearm and knife selection than

someone immersed in training and teaching gun / blade fighting techniques every week.

FAIR WARNING

WANT TO IMPRESS WITH WAR STORIES?  GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

WANT YOUR ASS KISSED?  GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER?  OPEN YOUR OWN GUNSHOP

There's more than enough misdirected complaints that Hawaii firearm dealers have to hear about

how upsetting it is to go through firearm ownership requirements - if you won't help to change it,

don't whine about it. With the second term re-election of Obama and Biden, firearm ownership

has increasingly been threatened.  Consider what everyone nationwide may soon have to face.

Those who have owned firearms steadily for at least 20 years can testify to how different it was.

Those who get mad about what is written here are the very ones who may need to think it over.

What good are all the guns you can get if national registration and confiscation may be next?

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.

"I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to keep and bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away... I am not going to take your guns away."

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Jan 2013: Proposed anti-gun bills have been defeated or positively amended by incredible efforts from representatives like Har and Ito & everyone's testimonies online or in person -

a triumph for your firearm ownership rights; a perfect example of what we can accomplish

Be aware of such bills and be keenly aware of future proposals that may actually get passed in

a moment's notice regardless of your firm beliefs in America's freedoms.www.capitol.hawaii.gov

This is why testimony is needed and why there needs to be thousands of supporters sending in

testimony and delivering it in person at the Legislature when we get hearings. Only 48 hours advance

notice is required when they schedule public hearings - which is during business hours, on weekdays,

and takes several hours which purposely and greatly reduces the number of people who can be there.

Representatives Sharon Har and Ken Ito have organized tremendous support

among their fellow Legislators in support of your gun rights in Hawaii.
Please send Sharon Har and Ken Ito donations of $25 or more, or whatever you can afford
.

Show them your appreciation as they were the Legislators that stood up for your gun rights!

Mark your check "Thank you for your support of gun rights." Send one check each to:

HRA LEGISLATIVE REPORT, May 4, 2013
by Dr. Maxwell Cooper

The Hawaii State Legislature ended on time on May 2, 2013. Firearms rights advocates can take great pride that what started out as the worst year in Hawaii State history for 2nd Amendment supporters is ending positively. Terrible bills, including a ban on semi-auto look-a-likes with confiscation, an intrusive mental health bill creating a government list of persons unsuitable for firearms with a felony charge for mental health caregivers who fail to report a patient, gun buy-backs, biannual training for all gun owners, and old schemes resurrected like show registration of a firearm in the caliber you wish to purchase, and periodic re-registration.

SB 69, SD2, HD1, CD1 passed in the form supported by HRA, and opposed by NRA. HRA worked hard through five different committees to remove all references to gun buybacks, special mental health checks by the PD’s, and gun safety taught by the PD’s. The bill affects only individuals already required to register guns they bring in from out of state. Effective July 1, 2013, the county Police Departments will be required to use the National Instant Check System (NICS) on these registrants, a simple phone call to BATFE, plus fingerprint and photograph the registrant and collect the floating FBI fee for fingerprints, currently $16.50, one time only. The window for registering is increased to 3 days from 5. No appropriations are authorized. For the full bill language, go to:

http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2013/bills/SB69_CD1_.htm

HB 200, the State Budget, passed with funding intact for the world class PUUANAHULU SHOOTING RANGE FACILITY in Kailua-Kona.

Hawaii gun rights supporters worked together cohesively and gained respect with our State Legislators this year, a critical need in order to advance HRA’s long term goal of amending our State’s overly restrictive firearms statutes. We could have easily gone the other direction as did other states with liberal controlled legislatures, like Connecticut and New York.
Give yourselves and our cooperative Legislators a big Mahalo and job well done. Stay active and vigilant. We have much to do before next year.

 

Assault, Rape, Home Invasions, Gang Activity - what is the final effective defense?

Simply, firearms in the lawful possesion of the law-abiding American citizen!

Once again, those in political power are pushing measures through to take away

YOUR right to own firearms for self-defense. What else would you do if attacked?

Rely on 911? scream for help? talk down rapists? fight back at huge disadvantage?

attempt to use pepper spray against multiple assailants? run from your own home?

There should be zero debate about responsible firearms owners and their choices

of firearms and accessories they wish to own once they pass the Federal checks.

* Firearms ownership is being threatened like never before.  Ruger has a webpage *

* 'Take Action' making it easy to send political leaders a concise pro-gun message. *

The final symbol of freedom in America is the right to own firearms.

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.

No extra charge (V,D,M) for physical in-store credit card purchases

No BS or unethical salespitching on unnecessary guns or gadgets

Always consistent with the best prices, ethics, and service with the sale

Active inventory prioritized by firearms and ammunition that continue to
have their availability affected by current demand or political situations.

Firearms inventory is prioritized by track record and calibers that make sense,
not products that divert people from the path they need to take in the first place.

Being able to help others gain confidence with guns is more important than ever.

Introduce simple, common guns first - making it easier to build up others' abilities.

- Firearms for target & defense -

- Price, Perception, Practicality -

 

The fundamental belief of all firearms sales at Kaneohe Gun Shop is to be purpose-driven and practical. Collectible military firearms are also among the firearms of interest. Many accessories and supplemental items are stocked, yet what really matters and therefore is promoted most, should be the right equipment for the hobby,

tool for the job, or mindset for the mission.

At Kaneohe Gun Shop, we can assist you in selection of the most appropriate merchandise

for your needs, experience or level of firearms proficiency. Additionally, thorough introductory courses are offered in firearm familiarization and usage as well as the required handgun course for handgun purchases in the state of Hawaii.

Owner Daniel has been in the firearms industry for 25 years and a professional firearms instructor for 19.

Recommended firearms, knives and gear are chosen

for their track record, reliability and performance.

The majority of product lines promoted are based on real world usage and experience, not just what is the newest item introduced to the market, written up in some gun publication, or spoken highly of online.

The majority of firearms sought after and purchased

in the United States are considered to be tools for

self defense or personal protection. All too often, how one goes about finalizing their selection ranges from

an absolutely blind purchase (merely based on the persuasive words from a salesperson) to an overly researched decision (such as reading the multitude of

one-sided, inexperienced gun forum opinions online).

How will you arrive at your decisions? Items that I recommend and why often differ from other stores nationwide or internet forums yet it will make sense.
