Two months ago, the range closed abruptly after tests showed nearly everyone who worked there had elevated lead levels. Hawaii News Now has learned it’s not the first time range staff were found to have a concerning amount of lead in their blood, and that the city was informed of the issue.

From Chris:
Honolulu is mad at gun owners as we are, slowly, getting our right to carry approval. Without this only gun range concealed carry permits can not be granted as we have no place to fulfill the training/certification.
Fuckin Liberals
HAWAII IS THE MOST RACIST STATE I'VE EVER BEEN TO.....
ReplyDeletebut...but...but that's where obummer was born....or was it kenya?
DeleteWell, it appears you can prove your gun handling skills and master markmanship by shooting the libs that were involved in the closing down of the range. A tight grouping in center mass should almost all but ensure the approval of your license. If not approved...keep shooting upward until you get to the right person in charge. That should do it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what is the lead/blood issue with other range employees around the country? Is this a real issue, or just in Hawaii?

The Marines or Army should open up their ranges to limited civilian access.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, there are many parts of the islands white people aren't welcome, including on Oahu.

DeleteAll active duty military, DoD employees, retired DoD are immediately eligible to join. I do not know what percentage of membership non-military are allowed but there was a long waiting list when I was a member 10 years ago.
once in a while we were able to check out range KR3 which was SDZed for .50 bmg, and had 1,000m targets.
good fun.
Liberals are obsessed neurotics who never ever stand down in their quest to control and dominate all those who don't agree with they ideology. In other words they're cultural cancer and we all know the only way you can deal with cancer.
ReplyDeleteHawaii, so, so to visit but never live there. The freakin liberals rule. Republicians do not even bother running for office. Oh, and they hate haoles. That's us white folk. At your hotel sure you will be treated good. Live there and the rascism is off the charts.
ReplyDeleteI'm haole. I was born and raised on Oahu until not quite age 16.
Delete15 yrs later I sailed there from CA. I met a Hawaiian and we pal'd around for several days. He took me to places haole never go. Great time.
In 2019, 22 yrs since I been back, everyone so nice. I went to many old haunts. Way off the beaten path. Locals only. Locals super nice. No stink eye nowhere. Very strange, way different from when I lived there decades before.
Still, I won't move back. You can never go home. Too many changes. Auwe
"as we have no place to fulfill the training/certification" What in the Sam Hill is this they're talking about?
ReplyDeleteThe only public access range on Oahu is the Koko head Shooting complex.
DeleteTwo action shooting bays, skeet, HPD training bay, 25/50 yard pistol qualification bay, 100 yard rifle bay and a pistol caliber silhouette bay. All in the Koko Head creator, extinct of course. There used to be targets out to 300 yards at the rifle bay until......
Grew up there, left at 18 by way of the Navy. Only been back once almost 17 years for my Popo's funeral neva been back. I enjoy my " freedom " in the states. Da Ohana always ask wen I come back live tell them never ever.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, there are several ranges in Honolulu. They cater primarily to the Jap tourists. Why cant they be used?
