Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – October 29, 2019 not opposing – I believe in having kids there and letting them learn early to properly use a weapon – I fully agree with that... MC: Yes... DP: My brother has 200 acres on the mainland and his kids been out there since they were five years old – nothing wrong with that. Do it correctly, do it early. But I would not be able to make those rules – that would be up to the commanding officer of PTA. MC: Right and that’s why I asked that cause I know how difficult it is to get into these facilities and not like a little kid can go get a background check, yeah? Cannot just go to the office and get a TWIC card on that but I really love the idea of what you guys are promoting with these gun ranges – keep up the great effort you guys – that’s the only question I had was on the ages. Thank you. NP: We’d like to keep all the options open and working and keep negotiating but, um, the idea is a public user-friendly, multi-purpose shooting range – that’s the idea – and Puuanahulu looks to me like the best case scenario for that. JO: Well, it’s the best we’ve been able to identify and it’s not from want of looking and when I say we’ve been looking at ranges, I think the earliest ones we evaluated were in 1990 – I’ve actually been looking since 1975... NP: I can’t believe the amount of work that’s gone into it... I just can’t believe – with volunteers doing this amount of work... ....it’s just phenomenal. I mean, how impressive. JO: Thank you, I’ll get in touch with you though... Are you going to the NRA dinner? DP: I just found out about it today so I gotta find out my schedule, so, I’d like consider it, though... NP: Thank you so much. I don’t think a leaf has been left unturned. Really great job. All right, so under Old Business, um, just a short report on the legislative agenda, um, that we’re working on. OLD BUSINESS: 29
