https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-second-amendment-win-concealed-carry-blue-state-gun-hawaii
with today's Supreme Court's Ruling, where do we now stand in Hawaii?

(1) Do we still need a permit to carry concealed handgun?   I presume, yes?

(2) Can we now carry concealed handgun on private property that is open to the public (e.g., shopping malls, grocery stores, etc.) without the owner's permission?

(2a) Can we now carry concealed handgun in banks and hospitals without the owner's permission

(2b) Can we now carry concealed handgun in private property that is open to the public (e.g., shopping malls, grocery stores, etc.) that have the "No Guns" signage (like the Cheesecake Factory shown above?

(3) Can we now carry concealed handgun on public property like parks and beaches?

This is the crazy semi-auto ban, right?

Has State Congress approved it, and is it now headed to Governor's for approval/signing into law (or veto, which we know he will probably not do)?  I checked the link that was provided to the SB401 status, and it did not seem to yet get approved by congress.

Isn't the 2025 legislative session closed, making this bill dead until next year?

Really, I'm just trying to check if I need to buy my semi-auto rifle soon, before Governor Green may sign this bill into law.

Wait, so with the law's reference to July 24, 2024 ... If I purchase an "assault rifle" now, then if the law passes, then will i be in violation?

Hmm, I've been meaning to purchase an AR for years.  Should I finally "pull the trigger" and buy one now, before this law goes into effect?

We just submitted our testimony Against this bill.  These testimony notifications are sooo greatly appreciated.  We -- and I am sure along with so many others -- really depend on these notifications.  Just a friendly head's up ... these notifications may be more effective if they were provided earlier ... like for those of us who just don't get around to checking it as often as we should. Again, thank you so very much.

If you are required to have a firearm while working as a federal employee (i.e., providing some kind of security), whether it be Uniformed Capitol Police, US Parks Police, Air Marshals, Uniformed Border Patrol, SAs for Health and Human Services and various Inspector Generals Offices, etc., then you should be allowed to carry anywhere in the USA, including flying armed.  You should be required to be armed when flying for work; and not just allowed, but requested to be armed when flying personal.  Didn't we learn from the attacks on 09/11/2001?  Now that Biden let in millions of unvetted illegal immigrants, we need more armed police out there more than ever.

If you, Taii, are a non-retired (i.e., still employed in that LEO status) Federal Law Enforcement Officer, then wouldn't you be scoped and allowed to carry any agency-approved pistol when you are "off-duty" or outside your official working hours and tasks?  For example, I thought all FBI, DEA, ATF, HSI, etc. LEO Special Agents could carry any agency-approved pistol "off-duty" or outside their official working hours and tasks?  I thought they even carry when flying personal.  Perhaps because these SA's are all salary, they are never officially off-duty.

I do not know how it is with, for example, federal, uniformed personal, like the uniformed capitol police or uniformed Border Patrol, though.

Also, I thought federal Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA) applies just to retired LEOs.

SCOTUS not hearing this case makes me wonder ... how do you judge the workload of the SCOTUS?  I'd think that they would be the last ones to not be working hard enough.  But maybe this is a basis for Trump to add more judges to the SCOTUS.

Of course, within the context of having a valid Hawaii concealed carry permit ....

So according to Federal Law you may unload and lock your gun up in your vehicle, before you enter school grounds?

But under Hawaii State Law/Honolulu Ordinance, you may not dive onto school grounds, even if you unload and locked up your gun in your vehicle beforehand?

Thank you very much your responses.

With regards to schools, are we allowed to lock the gun up either immediately after parking on campus, or right before driving on campus, like through the parking lot to pick-up our kids?  For example, right before getting on campus, removing the gun from your person (i.e., holster) placing it in your vehicle-secured gun lock box, and then drive onto campus?  Or maybe right after parking on campus, removing the gun from your person (i.e., holster) and then locking the gun up in your car?  I thought there was some language in the Hawaii Law or Honolulu Ordinance that allowed for us to lock-up guns in the parking lots of certain prohibited places.  How does the federal ban address this?
10
Thank you for your very helpful reply.  So what about these?  Are bans still intact for these?
(1)  Schools?
(2)  Specifically, UH sporting events?
(3)  Niel Blaisdell Center
(4)  Churches (which appears to be private property/businesses that are open to the public?
(5)  Hospitals?
(6)  Public transportation like bus and rail.

Anyone know the current status on limitations on Honolulu Concealed Carry locations, that is, specifically, after US Federal Judge Leslie Kobayashi's injunction/temporary restraining order (TRO)?  Just before this Federal injunction/TRO, there was a Defacto ban, in that only public streets and sidewalks were authorized locations.  If I recall correctly, you could lock up your approved pistol in your vehicle in sensitive areas, but not on any private property.  But now, post federal injunction/TFO, where are we allowed to carry and/or lockup our pistol in our vehicle? 

https://www.2alc.org/hawaii/sample-hawaii-post-zpy8m ... "Yesterday (August 8, 2023), a United State District Court Judge granted the plaintiffs’ request for a restraining order blocking most of Hawaii’s law. So, Hawaii’s ban on carrying in parks, beaches, places that serve alcohol, banks, certain parking lots, and private property held open to the public (except by invitation) is blocked from taking effect—for now.  "  What "certain parking lots" are we allowed and not allowed to carry in or store our firearm in?

What is the current status of civilians/non-law enforcement carrying/using high-capacity (i.e., over ten rounds) pistol magazines?   A while ago, employees at a local gun store advised that this may soon be allowed due to some kind of lawsuit.

On that note, are retired law enforcement currently prohibited from carrying/using high-capacity (i.e., over ten rounds) pistol magazines?  Similarly, if a retired law enforcement dismantles his/her LEO high-capacity magazines, is that legal/allowed, or is that still illegal?
13
Anyone know which version is the most current, "SB3196_SD1" or "SB3196"?

https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=3196&year=2024
14
If this bad SB3196 gets passed by the Hawaii Senate, then what happens next?  Does it go to the Governor for approval?
15
Does SB3196 prohibit law enforcement from their own personally-owned "Assault Weapons"? 

I cannot imagine that police will be banned from high-capacity pistol magazines. 

But in terms of rifles, much of the rifles that law enforcement in Hawaii use on-the-job -- county, state, federal -- are personally owned "assault weapons" and not department issued.  But if law enforcement is prohibited from purchasing their own "assault weapons," then we should get the police union SHOPO (State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers) to help stop this bill.

Also, anyone have the link of the current version that I hear may be voted on this coming Tuesday??

Yeah ... Federal Judge Issues Injunction Blocking Three Parts of Maryland’s Unconstitutional Carry Restrictions from Going into Effect in NRA-Backed Case.  I wonder if this will impact us here with the Hawaii law and  City/Honolulu Ordinances?

Any updates on Judge Kobayashi's ruling?
The 9th denied the states appeal and said its up to Kobayashi. The judge who granted the TRO.  She has till 9/1 to make a decision.

Until then, TRO is in force.

Thank you all so very much for sharing.  So it sounds like we let the Hawaii State CCW law make its way through appeals court(s) (i,e., 9th Circuit, US Supreme Court), see where it how it ends up, and then pursue the Honolulu Ordinance, knowing how the Hawaii State CCW law ended up.
20
So what is the legal strategy in nullifying the Honolulu City Council bill?

Is there a reason that the current HIFICO, Wolford etal vs. Lopez (Hawaii State Sensitive Places Lawsuit) didn't challege the Honolulu City Council bill also, at the same time?
