Man these discussions always leave me pissed off at the end. I hate watching the state side bullshit and twist facts and feelings. The one with Peter Carlisle left me wanting to break my TV in half.

Thank you so very much, zippz.  That is what I love about this discussion board.  Without your post, I would probably not have know.

The judge was very informative.  I think it is pretty clear, we will probably not get schools, government buildings, removed from sensitive places after hearing them quote a US Supreme Court Justice (not that I agree myself). 

US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, citing the late US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in District of Columbia v. Heller,

Quote

"[N]othing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions of the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings...:

But, it is pretty clear that the sensitive places need to be in keeping with the history and tradition of the 2nd Amendment (i.e., US Federal law), not the state.  Most of Hawaii's/Honolulu's restrictions will be overturned, in my opintion.
