Sorry if this has been covered but when I was reading the HRS it looks like given all the restricted places to carry or the fact that all business have to post a sign saying you are allowed to carry in their building, where can you legally carry with a ccw that is not just your car or place of business (if allowed)?

We used to joke only the sidewalk.  But actually it's quite true.

That's what it sounds like.

So are you allowed to carry concealed in your car and park in the parking lot of a business, then secure your firearm in a lockbox in the car that is out of sight and not be violating any laws?

That becomes a Places to Keep issue.  Are you allowed to store an unloaded firearm somewhere other than the locations traditionally included in HRS-134?

[§134-25]  Place to keep pistol or revolver; penalty.  (a)  Except as provided in sections 134-5 and 134-9 ...
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol03_Ch0121-0200D/HRS0134/HRS_0134-0025.htm

Exceptions:

§134-5  Possession by licensed hunters and minors; target shooting; game hunting.
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol03_Ch0121-0200D/HRS0134/HRS_0134-0005.htm

§134-9  Licenses to carry.
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol03_Ch0121-0200D/HRS0134/HRS_0134-0009.htm

Because having a concealed carry license is an exception to the Places to Keep section, you can store your CCL-registered pistol anywhere you feel the need.

I'm not a lawyer, but that's how it appears to be written.

See Wolford thread and donate if you can as this affects everyone with a CCW.  Unless you want your CCW to be useless.

I've had my Holosun 507K X2 for about 3 years now. I'm on my 3rd battery.

When my 1st battery died, there was no warning. The dot was working when I did my daily function check and 2 hours later when I was about to leave the house again, I did another check and it was off.  Luckily, I have spare batteries. This was on the way to take my HI CCW shooting test.

Now this 2nd battery was dying. The red dot was blinking slowly. Like it would flash off every 5 seconds for 1 second and then come back on.  And I wasn't able to change the brightness of the dot either.  So I think this is the low battery indicator, which I didn't notice the last time.  A camera type low battery icon would be helpful, but I get why they can't do it. The projection of the red dot would have to add another type of image, which takes up space.

Meanwhile, Mrs. CMO's red dot is still on it's first battery and it's been over 2 years and closer to 3 years.

I do. This is why I chose the 507K, it has a rear knotch. So no need to replace the rear or front sight with supressor height sights.

When my new permit was available late last year, I was told I could still get another license (with different pistols) just like I did the last time.  When I went in March to apply for a new license, I was told the Chief changed his mind and doesn't allow one individual to have multiple permits.  I was told that they are recalling people with two active licenses for consolidation onto a single license, and a refund of the $150, if applicable.  Then I was told that the only consolation of the new "rule" is that "add-ons" to an existing license should only take thirty days.  Almost 60 days later and I'm still waiting.....

Sounds  like they really don't want u to have overlapping CCW's and want to flat expire so you're not CCWing anymore.

Make sure they also update the expiration date when you add a gun on.  They might short change you.

Do you know if the expiration is handled differently with each county? I added another pistol to my license but the expiration date wasn’t extended.

Maui and the renewals were issued a couple of months ago.

I should clarify the situation. I received a couple of licenses shortly after the counties started issuing them so they were under the one year expiration timeframe and each license had its own unique number. I then applied for another license for a third pistol after the state changed it to a four year expiration and was issued a third license card with another unique license number. The previous two were up for renewal because of the one year expiration and upon approval, they were added under the license number of my third card. Now all three cards have the same expiration date of my third license but the date wasn’t extended. It kept the same expiration so my two renewals didn’t get the four years and were shorted about one year. Sorry if this is a bit confusing.

Add-ons won't extend the expiration of the original license.  if that were the case, you could periodically "add on" pistols and extend the original license indefinitely. 

When licenses were first issued, I purposely got a second license six months after the first, so I'd always have an active license while "renewing" the expiring one.  That is no longer possible, as of March (according to the officer)

Then they're violating the law.  Any add on required the same process as a brand new applicant would have to go through.  Since the PD are being lazy and just "adding on" guns.  If they issued a new permit for each gun, then there would be no issue.

Instead of 1 permit for any legally owned handgun, our state chooses to say F-U to Bruen and go per serial number.
