Well it just happened to me...
and I'm so pissed I wanted to wring this fool's neck.
I live in Honolulu and I decided to go back to MAGNUM FIREARMS just for kicks. I'd been there some time ago and got a very cold reception then. But, I decided to chalk it up to the employees having a bad day. Well, I walk in there this morning to check up on thier holdings and ask a couple of benign questions. I had the intention of picking up an AK and wanted a little more input on the People's Republik of Hawaii and the local AW gun laws, most of which I knew already.
NOW GET THIS, the state has a 10 round Mag limit law so Hi caps are out of the question unless they are blocked. The AK, that was my first mistake, this fool had on the wall he let me handle. As I did I asked a few questions about it and the magazine it carried. "What is up with the 30 rd Hi Cap if state laws limit them to 10, is it blocked?", I asked. Numbnuts repies, "No, if you buy from us I'll throw in the mag, we can skirt the laws." Now, I'm no fool but I just stood there dumbfounded that he would actually patronize me like that with an obvious aura of contempt that I would even bother him. I think he did not want to be bothered by someone who ONLY wanted a "cheap" $600 rifle. They are too busy sellin AR's, tricked out Kimbers and had a flippin wall full of .50 cal Snipers. Hell, the very first question he asked me is if I had a valid Rifle/Shotgun permit, which as irritating a question as that was I can understand that since they need to get serious with Paying Customers pirmarily.
At this time he took a phone call and I proceeded to talk to another employee, I think a co-owner, about Hawaii magazine laws and what this nutjob just said. Before I could even finish my conversation the first imbicile hangs up and says, "we don't have time to go over all the Hawaii gun laws, look them up on-line." Short of acting like a complete and utter fool, I said, "Roger that", and walked out. I will never EVER darken thier doorway again and sincerely hope one of them reads this board, if so...
I hope you all go broke as hell.
Sad thing about it is these guys do phenomominal business, especially with local law enforcement and military members which I am one. Its a shame one of the better gun shops on the island must be owned and operated by a bunch of
holes like them.
