5) violator physically attacks you causing severe bodily injury.
6) police come to the hospital to take your statement and recommend you get a big dog.

Well, the chief won't "say" that, or anything else. All there will be on the public record is "denied", and the official reporting document that must be filed with the AG's office monthly will read, under "Reason": "Did not meet chief's criteria". And then a judge on a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel can write in an opinion "We don't know why those people were denied licenses. They may have been prohibited persons." But that would never happen, right?

A TRO is valid for at most 14 days and is limited to similarly short extensions.  One would not use a TRO to obtain a permit.  A TRO can be converted into a motion for a preliminary injunction if the other side agrees,  If not then if longer term relief is sought then one follows with a motion for a preliminary injunction, which, if granted, endures until there is a final judgment, the preliminary injunction is stayed, or overturned on appeal (or becomes moot).

2, 3, and 4 are nonsensical.

Has the police department or State ever said open carry is restricted to security guards?  I know in reality it is, but looking for a reference.

To issue a CCW permit using a TRO/injunction as justification (evidence of a threat) is to admit the court orders are impotent.  No state is going to admit a TRO alone is insufficient to provide protection for the victim.

Basically, a TRO is a catch 22 for CCW permit issue:

  - If you apply for a carry permit and don't have a TRO, there's no threat.  It needs to be made official by requesting a TRO. 

  - If you document the threat in a TRO, then you're already protected by the court order.  Hence, no carry permit needed.

If I'm reading the aggregated opinions right, the court basically said open carry in Hawaii is a right, meaning the state must allow it.

So, they can require licenses, but the laws ought to be changed to "shall issue", not the "may issue if the police chief is in the mood that day, but don't count on it" way the AG's letter stated, right?

Judge O'Scannlain decided that: "[T]he Second Amendment encompasses the right of a responsible law-abiding citizen to carry a firearm openly for self-defense outside of the home."

Note that the term he used is "responsible law-abiding citizen".

That same term is used by the Attorney General in his "opinion", and that opinion is quoted and referenced extensively in the state's petition for an en banc hearing, and no doubt would be an extensive part of the state's brief should the case go en banc. Note however what the AG adds to the "phrase" "responsible law-abiding citizen" as to what else would be required to acquire an "unconcealed" carry license: "[A]n applicant must demonstrate, among other things, that he or she has a need for protection that substantially exceeds that held by ordinary law-abiding citizens."

Judge O'Scannlain did not decide that "ordinary law-abiding citizens" are only eligible to exercise their Second Amendment protected right to carry "unconcealed" outside the home IF, and ONLY IF they can demonstrate some "need" that "substantially exceeds" that of the "other" "ordinary law-abiding citizens". The AG opinion seems to substantially contradict judge O'Scannlain's ruling. The AG's claim that the law is not "facially" invalid (if you believe his lies about unconcealed carry licenses have always been available to "ordinary law-abiding citizens") does not bear directly on the fact that it IS invalid "as applied" (amounts to a de facto ban). They have no proof that such a license has ever been issued, and of course no one can prove a negative, so it's impossible to prove they never issued, or even denied, one.

I think we all know how the en banc court will rule. The only question remaining is will SCOTUS accept the case if it gets there, and then, how will they rule. We may know the answer to that question sometime around 2023.

Do you have a State of Hawaii or 9th circuit court of appeals decision to back that up or is it something you just invented?

The Hawaii TRO system is significantly flawed and ineffective. It's not unreasonable to assume many of those the system failed tried to get permits to carry and were denied. Since the reasons for denial are not reported, nor are the justifications made public, there's no way to know how many were in an endless TRO cycle and unable to legally arm themselves.

I will be sending this to all the county police chiefs either later today or tomorrow, pending possible input from outside sources. Oahu, aka "Honolulu City and County" will not allow email inquiries, so I will have to mail that via snail mail, not that there is any hurry, but in case any of you on Oahu are going in there anyway, maybe you can deliver a version signed with your name. Or not. I'm not expecting any real answer anyway, just want to get something "on the record".

Chief of Police,

1. How many “unconcealed” carry licenses did you issue to “private individuals”, i.e. persons not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel, in 2017?

2. How many “unconcealed” carry licenses have you issued to “private individuals”, i.e. persons not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel in all the years prior to 2017? And in which specific years did you issue how many such licenses?

3. How many “unconcealed” carry licenses have you issued to “private individuals”, i.e. persons not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel thus far (September 17) in 2018?

4. Could you please tell me, for those “unconcealed” carry licenses you have issued to “private individuals” not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel, how, and under what category on the mandated monthly reporting form issued by the Office of the Attorney General, did you report those issuances (i.e. under the “Security” category, or under the “Citizen” category)?

5. Could you please tell me, for those “unconcealed” carry licenses you have denied to “private individuals” not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel, how, and under what category on the mandated monthly reporting form issued by the Office of the Attorney General, did you report those denials (i.e. under the “Security” category, or under the “Citizen” category)?

6. Could you please tell me, for those “unconcealed” carry licenses you have denied to “private individuals” not employed in any capacity as any kind of “security” personnel, how, and under whichever category on the mandated monthly reporting form issued by the Office of the Attorney General, you reported those denials (i.e. under the “Security” category, or under the “Citizen” category), what were the statements made by you for denial under the “Reasons” column?

Thank you,

What's the email addresses?  I can make similar inquiries, and let you know if I get something other than a canned response.  Honestly, your chances are pretty low of getting any meaningful response.

Just in case anyone is interested, here is Mr. Nichols' podcast re the Young v Hawaii petition for rehearing en banc. He does not have kind words for the state's attorneys and their arguments.
