First on this thread the squatters moved into an abandoned house next door.
Then the thieves broke into our homes.
Finally, the jacked up, drug addled burglars attacked our wives (and/or husbands) children and pets, threatening them with bodily harm.
I would ask, what is the first choice for crooks in Hawaii when they break into a home? Don't they seem to prefer to pick a house clean when no one is home? What would be most effective in that case, a camera or a gun? In fact, if you have a gun and the bandits find it when you're not home, your gun will be one of the first items they would steal. And you have now personally armed them for subsequent B&E's.
How often do we hear of Hawaiian thieves barging into a home and threatening a family when it's not some kind of personal vendetta? From watching and reading the news, I would say it's about as often as we have shark attacks. Wouldn't you?
If that's the case, and the risk being somewhat equal between 1) your family menaced by robbers and 2) your family attacked by sharks while swimming, how many Punaweb readers would now consider arming themselves with a knife the next time you swim at Kehena or Richardsons, just to be on the safe side? It might make you feel better, but in either case, statistically you're extremely unlikely to need a gun on land or a knife in the water, given the total number of homes that are not broken into, and the total number of swimmers never attacked by sharks.
Four people are in a room and seven leave. How many have to enter again before it's empty?
