dirk,
My previous comment about the benefit of "life skills" involved avoiding dangerous situations; I have every sympathy towards the victims of violent crime. The two victims I know however, were killed by legally obtained weapons.
I gotta tell you though; I don't give a lot of credibility to someone who repeatedly finds themself in confrontational situations (as you have posted about earlier), has brought "over ten military style rifles and several handguns here", and still complains about Hawaii's restrictive gun laws.
Like most men and women who have recieved a high degree of training and have actually experienced combat and its aftermath; I have the confidence and skills to protect me and mine without an arsenal. Thankfully most citizens, whether well trained or not, have the common sense to avoid dangerous situations. Sure, bad things happen; but they are a lot less frequent here than in other places. I credit the "restrictive" state policies that allow you over a dozen weapons; yet prevent you from setting out claymore mines.
Life skills dude. I'm very sorry you aren't enjoying your time in this paradise. Come out from your bunker and enjoy the sunshine.
