In an editorial of the local Star Advertiser newspaper, amongst their points expressed in anti-gun views, it actually presents an approximate number of firearm owners on Oahu - one fourth of 1.4 million population! This is exactly what I've been preaching for years: we do indeed have a serious representation of the populace that can make a difference in gun rights - if each person joins the Hawaii Rifle Association, submits testimony on legislative issues (capitol.gov) and exemplifies responsible firearm ownership! All the complaining, procrastination, excuse-giving to not be involved in actions to improve gun rights - is all the reasons why we continuously struggle for even the slightest hope of gaining any ground!     Think of what 350,000 can do when standing up for the freedoms and rights that so many gun owners believe in and want to maintain in this 50th state. This representation shares foundational beliefs and responsible gun owner's rights to personal protection and unmolested firearm ownership - so why can't everyone focus on this crucial basis, get involved and build up others in accelerated firearm knowledge instead of creating divided interests or waste time disagreeing on mundane opinions of guns and gear?   June 27, 2016:  Rap Back signed by Gov.

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

There are many who will continue to try and take that away.

There are more crucial issues at stake in our country. Pray that work will be done

to truly bring America back on track and build a positive future for everyone.

Rational thinking should include leaders encouraging free Americans be capable of sustaining themselves; NOT to be dependent on government. This includes the obvious fact that calling

for help will not save a civilian at gunpoint or stop a home intruder from conducting evil intent

to a single mother at home with a child. What happens to the career criminal when caught?

Released with the excuse that prisons are full?

Endless multitudes of frightening scenarios exist, and every increment of firearms restrictions

will only fulfill more tragedies brought upon the law-abiding Americans in the United States.

- HPD Firearms webpage: updated info 10/15/21 -

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; 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.

Mid-Pacific Pistol League

When line is called hot and shooters are set to go, the buzzer sounds and the firing begins . . .

Shot timers (held by range officers) record time of each shot to end of each competitor's stage.

MPPL matches are based on the IPSC format (International Practical Shooting Confederation).

Shotgun and carbine side matches may also be part of the shooting game.

Duty rigs or race rigs - limited or unlimited category has its own competition classification.

Orange netting: 'walls' or barriers, black tape denotes hard cover,

bullet hits in the taped area don't count for score.

 Steel 'poppers' are on right edge in picture on right.

If the stage calls for those, they must be knocked over.

When the line is called cold, participants go forward and reset steel targets,

score and tape cardboard targets. Time is recorded, 2 best hits are scored

for each cardboard target; steel hits count only when knocked down.

White cardboard targets denote 'no shoots'. Challenging steel targets include a

five-circle gravity swinger requiring all five steel plates to be knocked off,

but as each is hit, weight of remaining circle plates cause contraption to

swivel around faster in both directions, making it tougher to hit the last one!

MPPL has approximately three matches per month, depending on range scheduling.
