News Release from HIFICO

Everyone is invited to this rally who wants a safer Hawaii and to protect our right to keep and bear arms.  We want people to line the front of the State Capitol and tell the legislators and Governor that we are tired of being victims of crime and to stop the infringements on our firearm rights.

Also attend the HIFICO Legislative Meeting and Rally Prep on Saturday January 25th 5:30pm at Oahu Veterans Center.  We will go over the legislative bills concerning firearms and talk about the rally and work on sign making.
