Hawai’i Seems to Have Gone Shall Issue

Here is the letter from the Hawaii AG sent to CLEOs.
I’m not so sure. They may be tired of fighting it. I had inquired of friend of TCJ Dave Hardy on the status of Young v. Hawaii right after Bruen came out, and he thought it would be granted, vacated and remanded. He was right.
Then friend of TCJ Stephen Stamboulieh told me on June 30th that he was working on a filing to the Ninth Circuit on Young. We’ll see what happens.
Then again, the legislature may be working hard behind the scenes to figure out how to follow New York and make applicants sit through days of classes and qualify for a week at the range.
This is something most carriers should be able to do, since most handgun carriers I know are better with their weapons than cops. But still, this should not have to be done.

Under our legislative calendar, the legislature is out of session and the Governor has just released his veto message for acts passed this session. The legislature now has the power to go back into session to consider overrides of the vetoes. I think they can also introduce new business and this would be an opportunity to try to limit the scope of concealed carry, probably in terms of where.
There already is a requirement to pass an appropriate instruction prior to obtaining a “permit to acquire” a handgun, but I suppose they could try to add additional training requirements. We have plenty of gun banners here, expect senator Karl Rhodes to lead the charge.
