Since Hound Boy and his crew are mostly convicted felons, they carry these ridiculous jugs of pepper spray rather than firearms... anyone who can shoot could easily serve Hound Poi Poi to the local coroner.

A girlscout has more firepower then Dog. They do not carry fire arms. Only a giant sized can of mace.

Grrr!

Ya, mace. lol. poor guys.

There is no such thing as a civilian carrying a gun in Hawaii. Only police and uniformed armed security carry guns. Irregardless of any criminal history, he couldnt carry a gun here anyway.
-
the reason you don't have people like dog in yurop is because you are all sissys afraid of commiting crime. the prime minister will spank you :p
you don't need him

If this isn't a rhetorical question... State law says:
§134-9 Licenses to carry. (a) In an exceptional case, when an applicant shows reason to fear injury to the applicant's person or property, the chief of police of the appropriate county may grant a license to an applicant who is a citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years or more or to a duly accredited official representative of a foreign nation of the age of twenty-one years or more to carry a pistol or revolver and ammunition therefor concealed on the person within the county where the license is granted. Where the urgency or the need has been sufficiently indicated, the respective chief of police may grant to an applicant of good moral character who is a citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years or more, is engaged in the protection of life and property, and is not prohibited under section 134-7 from the ownership or possession of a firearm, a license to carry a pistol or revolver and ammunition therefor unconcealed on the person within the county where the license is granted. Unless renewed, the license shall expire one year from the date of issue.
I highlighted the important word. To my limited knowledge no Chief has gone ahead and done this for the general population. Packing.org goes ahead and forewarns anyone that if they try, it will be denied.
As for "Dawg," yeah there's people like that everywhere - you shouldn't be surprised.

Around here a lot of the bounty hunting teams will have one guy armed with CS only, of course his partner normaly has a gun.
A lot of times family members will jump in... you shoot granny with a .45, you got problems, and they know this, hose them down with CS, they seem to listen to directions better.
If you notice, ol Dog and his team don't seem to go after many felony skips.

I have no problem with Dog and his preaching to druggies. After all he only goes after people losing HIM money. Or I'm sure he'd probably be packing. It's his meatbag of a wife that's bothersome. Yikes :huh

And nobody has challenged this ruling?
Laz would be a better judge on this but looks to me to be unconsitutuional.
Though I dont see how anyone should be "granted a licence" for something that is their constitutional right.
as of the second ammendment
2nd the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed
and could probably be reinforced with
9th
which basically recognises Natural rights. The right of a person to defend themselves I think we all would agree is a natural right
and
14th
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Could probably find a few more if I looked hard enough

Unfortunately, we have allowed several precedents to be established. First we allowed cities to establish "no carry" laws within their limits, for the protection of its citizens. It made sense 100-130 years ago when we had wide open towns at the end of cattle drives, men who hadnt seen a town (or a bottle) in months, with loads of money. Lots of whiskey and beer + loaded guns + locals trying to keep their property in one piece = a tragedy waiting to happen.
Then folks figured, if it works there, why it ought to follow that if we just make folks stop carrying guns altogether, it would do away with that pesky violence. Right? Yeah. That has been borne out SO well huh? But problem is, we allowed it, so it got even harder to reverse. Before long, carrying a gun was seen as a privilege, like driving, and not a right. Maybeso, in a totally civilized world. Course, Man has proven himself at least partially immune to being civilized. Still, it follows that if carryin a gun is a privilege, it should be allowed if licensed, right? So now we have states that will allow you to carry a gun if you jump through the right hoops and get a license. It allows the politicians who believe in the 2nd amendment to pat themselves on the back and say they did their part while not having to actually stand up to our loss of rights and be voted out of office by those who dont like guns.
As an extrapolation of the idea that a state can license folks to carry a gun, you have two different paths of reasoning on how to decide to issue a permit or license. SHALL ISSUE states beleive that so long as you pass the background checks and have a clean criminal record, and you wish to have such a permit or license, you should be granted one. A MAY ISSUE state beleives that even if you pass the background checks with a clean criminal record, and even if you pass a course that proves you know how to handle and safely fire such a weapon, and even if you can provide proof you have carried one without mishap in another state, it is up to whoever is in charge of issuing the licenses to decide if you deserve one or not. This allows the state full control over who gets one and who doesnt. I think there is a rumor that since the law was passed, ONE person has been issued a permit to carry in Hawaii, and he was a former police officer. There is no official record of this however, so it remains a rumor. There has never been a verified case of a permit being issued.
Its like the old saying goes that begins.......
When they came to take the Jews, I wasnt Jewish, so I didnt protest.
And so it goes.

In New Mexico we can carry guns. Some banks and stores do have signs telling us we're not allowed inside with one tho. Gee, I wonder why that is?:rofl

he may be an old father but he is still a big pimp, i bet he is hitting the girl in the back :cool:

If only Dog would cut off that horrible mullet. Other than that he seems pretty cool.
I like Paul Sr. too.

state laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms are unconstitutional... the SC and even the ACLU are hiding from the fact.
never has there been such a blatant violation for so long without the SC jumping in... It is the ultimate hot potato.
In the old west... even when they outlawed firearms in town... they really only outlawed open carry. concealled carry was never a problem... that is why so many "pocket" guns were made.
At some point there is gonna be a real hearing on the second... I don't want left wing supremes sitting when it does. assasinating presidents does nothing... but take out bader ginsburg say...

Maybe not where you come from. Its quite common in some parts of the country. And even if its not "proper" english, its still acknowledged "as a word".
Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage: Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance.
Thats from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. So nyah. :D

Star,
What bugs me about the use of the "word" irregardless is it is used in place of the perfectly good word regardless, as if somehow one gets extra credit points for the extra syllable. There is a word "axe" but when used as a verb (let me axe you a question) it also bugs me, yes one could use the argument, I suppose that it is a word and because many folks use it it is somehow ok.
Not being the word police here it's just one of those things that stick in my ear, irregardless of what others think. :D
Regards,

What bugs me is how people snipe at others grammar and spelling on an internet BBS just to inflate their own ego.
It's people like this that give those of us with superior intellect a bad name among the ill educated masses.

I agree 100%, "concealed carry" laws are a feel good compromise that let politicians who claim to support the 2nd amendment feel they can get off the hook, while still giving the nannys some feeling they have retained a bit of control, no matter how small. The main argument is going to come over how narrowly the govt. is allowed to define the "bear" part of "keep and bear arms", and whether that is something that can even be decided at the state level, or if it has to be more focused at the county or local levels. The important thing for now is for those of us at the bottom of the heap (i.e. "voters") to keep bugging our politicians about how unhappy we are with the restrictions. Getting voted out of office is the only threat that makes any impression.

I always viewed the idea of private citizens chasing fugitives a bit strange, but every country has its own legal system and court system. If you have private bail bondsmen (we have none here) then its a logical step to have private bounty hunters. I dont think its better or worse, just different.
I wondered why he didnt carry a firearm (Dog), and figured it was a state law thing....I have seen others on TV that look like they have more firepower than the Israeli army.
What do those guys make anyway $$$ ? Is it a decent living?

Depends on how long untill the bondsman is going to have to forfit the bond, the closer to that date the more they are willing to pay, 10-20% of the face amount is about average.
A little know fact is that a bounty hunter can enter a dwelling without a warrant if he knows for sure the skip is in the place, so many times if you let the locals know who you are there to pick up, and they would like to take a peek in the place they will be happy to back you up.
