HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaii County has issued 19 concealed carry licenses so far and another 58 are pending approval, following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that eased gun rules.
West Hawaii Today reported that some police officers are concerned they aren’t getting proper training for when they encounter license holders.
The Hawaii County Police Department said training was implemented last week. But, West Hawaii Today said it mostly consisted of a short PowerPoint presentation and a quiz.
One un-named officer told the paper that the training did not address real life situations.
There are now 19 CHPs that have been issued. Why not 19,000?

RE “proper training” for officers. My anecdotal take both from officers I know personally, as well as some folks who’ve been queried during traffic stops or requested an officer for some other reason, is that if it is not made an issue it remains a non-issue. On the assumption that neither person wants to be shot, history has shown that proceeding in a civil, non-alarmist fashion helps that if BOTH parties play.
Disclaimer: Don’t know HI procedures/result when routinely checking “running” a person. In my state the carry permit status doesn’t automatically come back and the officer has to request it specifically. Stating existence of the permit is only required of the holder if asked.

Ha!! He is the training syllabus: Boys and Girls, Carry permits are a thing now. Deal with it!! Please try and keep the civil rights abuses down to a minimum but if you do commit some your union lawyers will help you out. Not to worry.

Because no one in Hawaii wears enough clothes to conceal a toothbrush let alone a firearm.

My guess is that those who want to carry, have always been carrying – permit or not.

Aloha shirts are great for concealing a 1911.
