Who wants to send more emails?! Yea!
GOA makes it rather painless with a "Take Action" button. If you haven't sent emails though GOA before, of if you have cookies blocked, you will have to fill out your name, address, etc., so the email can be sent to the appropriate state's senators and your particular representative.
If all CCW licensees and permit holders from the 45 states that "shall issue" them, along with all the residents of the 10 states that are "permitless"/ "Constitutional carry", would be allowed to carry here in Hawaii while visiting, then MAYBE the state would possibly consider allowing some Hawaii residents to carry. I emphasize "maybe" and "possibly" because I'm pretty sure (it's totally obvious) that the rulers of Hawaii want no one but authorized government agents to be armed in public. It couldn't hurt to support the bills and let our elected officials know what we'd like them to do. Not that it would help, since they're all dyed-in-the-wool grabbers, but...

Sources inside Congress have told GOA that they may soon be taking up a concealed carry reciprocity bill.
If enacted, this legislation would mean that your right to carry would no longer end at your state border.
It would mean we would be one step closer to enjoying the full protections of the Second Amendment, which says the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed.”
To this end, Gun Owners of America is supporting H.R. 923 and S. 498 -- legislation introduced by Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).

It gives me a good reason to go back to my home, Washington state and get my CCW license again.
Legally I can have a residence in both states. Hawaii a TMK, Washington a Marina slip.
I'm getting excited!

I'm not sure about these particular bills, but I'd think that "out of state, nonresident" CCW licenses/permits (e.g. Utah, Arizona, etc.) might work for Hawaii residents under a truly "national reciprocity" bill. If so, we'd be good to go! No idea how anyone thinks that Obama would sign a standalone bill for CCW reciprocity, but maybe they'll put it in as a rider on a bill to fund all the failing Obamacare exchanges, or something. :shaka:
