Apologies, im sure this question has already beed asked and answered. Im just traveling last minute and are rushing to pack so I dont have time to look for this answer.  I plan to call HPD in the morning just to be sure but I thought a while back I read on one of these forums the new CCW’s are valid on all islands so long as it was issued after Jan 1st 2024.

I have a valid CCW from Hawaii County on the Big Island that was just issued to me last September. Prior to the new law my CCW was only valid on the Big island. With the new law that passed Jan 1st 2024, does that make CCW permits valid in any county no matter what Island it was issued.  My old CCW from 2023 specifically said it was only valid in Hawaii county. The new CCW I got in 2024 does not say that. 

The first photo is my old expired CCW from 2023. It clearly states valid in Hawaii county on the Big Island Only On the back of the card.

The 2nd & 3rd photo is my new current valid CCW issued after the new 2024 law. It does days Hawaii County on the top but im assuming thats just where it was issues. It does not specify anywhere thats it is only valid in Hawaii County so Im assuming its valid in all counties on every Island. 

If you can answer this thank you. Like I said, I will call HPD on Oahu monday before my flight just to make sure I don't make a mistake.
