AG CHIN on KGMB this morning said he is joining other Dem state AG.s, in mot allowing CCW Reciprocal. CCW in Hawaii was probably never going to happen and now the Reciprocal with other states is going to be out. Without the Democrats being voted out here and more changes with the judges on the 9th and Supreme Court, its not going to happen for Hawaii.
With the possible changes in the rifle mag limit and CCW for Hawaii and what ever else is coming, it might be time to move to the real America across the ocean LOL.

found the info on their web site

Do you have CCW classes ? what state and cost.. thanks

If Kealoha and other retired City, State & Federal law enforcement officers want to get a permit to carry its done thru the AG's office thru the LEOSA process not thru the City, it wont show up as concealed carry permits issued by the City.

The law allows them to carry off duty. Their policies require them to.

Here is the statute that allows cops to carry firearms off duty, have short barreled rifles, have silencers, magazines greater than 10 rounds, etc.
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol03_Ch0121-0200D/HRS0134/HRS_0134-0011.htm

Per the HPD policies, the barrel length on the long guns and shotguns for the officers has to be 16" or longer, no silencers are allowed, only the swat officers are allowed to carry the Dept/Swat issued short barreled Ar's and shotguns. The only firearms that they had with suppressors were the MP-5's that they used to have.
The AG's office handles the LEOSA permits.

That's what we believed about the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution: It'd be good in all 50 states... but Hawaii's "special".

It is for all of us who qualify, but when this enacted by the Federal Government back in 04 our AG who was Mark Bennett and his Deputy AG Chris Young who is still working. Setup the LEOSA guide lines / requirements for Hawaii and made it so it would discourage the people who could apply for the permit.
After you do all the paper work (which you have to submit every year when you reapply), you have to go and get an eye test & hearing test, which you have to do every 2 years, (good luck if you have Kaiser) the tests don't make any sense, you have no police powers and with any CCW permit on the mainland you don't have to do this BS !.
Then you have to submit 2 passport photos every year when you renew (with HPD you take a new ID photo every 5 or 7yrs don't remember now) then you pay $100. every year and have to qualify every year at the range with only 1 of the approved calibers, if you want to qualify with a second caliber you have to come back on another day.
And this permit is only good for 1 year, so by the time you do everything you almost have to start doing all over again because of the time it takes, which again is a bunch of BS!
So dream on if you think there is going to be any CCW in Hawaii in the near future, maybe in 10-15 years..lol   and will probably cost $100. year compared to other states were its $50 on average for 5 years.

Just buy a TSA approved lockbox or a Pelican case will work, I go an extra step when I transport a handgun to the mainland. I break the gun down before I put it in the box/case, remove the slide etc..,so when you have to open it for they get a little stiffey seeing that the gun cant be fired without having to put it back together first.
They don't like the ammo to be in the case with the gun unless its a different caliber, in case the bag rats etc.. take it they would be able to load it up and go to town with it.
Must of the airlines will allow each person to bring 11/12 lbs of ammo per person, (Alaska Airlines allows more)  just has to be in the factory box and which I put all the boxes of ammo into a box that will hold all of it and just tape it up.
Been doing it for years never had a problem.

Washington State and Idaho have what they call an enhanced CCW permit, but in both states you are required to attend an 8 hr class. The Washington one is class room only, the Idaho one is class room than you shoot a course of fire to qualify, forgot what the cost is for Washington in Idaho its $100. Both are good for 5 years, the Washington CCW is actually the Utah permit which is honored in 32 states and the Idaho is good for 37 states.

Just got word from an inside source: it's someone specifically in the firearms department causing this headache and not from the upper echelons.

If its somebody in the firearms section its, Sgt Jaeger, he runs the unit there is a Lt. that oversees several other sections in records that he reports too. But the Sgt., is able to make/suggest changes in how the unit functions, he probably b.s the Lt. who doesn't really understand what goes on.
Sgt Jaeger was assigned to the Training Division / running the range for firearms training and department qualifications for several years, till he got reassigned because of the people he pissed off and now he got assigned to Firearms, feels he has all this power again.   

So far just those 2 changed, I was done at HPD today when they told me about the change, on the paper they gave me it tells the Doctor what they are looking for and it also has a copy of HRS 134-18, which informs them that they cant be held liable if you go nuts after its submitted. Kaiser is the one that is anti-guns, if you qualify for a LEOSA permit, you don't want to go to them it will get rejected and all screwed, you are better off going paying an outside Doctor to get the medical side or the LEOSA requirement's  taken care of.
