The 2010 Hawaii State Legislative session is quickly approaching and could be exciting.

As such, what can us regular citizens do to help the process and what is the process by which we can submit testimony for supporting a bill?
Hicarry or Tom_G?

By the way, what bills are you all you guys looking forward to?
I am looking forward to the "shall issue" changes to the concealed carry permit.

The HRA will likely take a "wait and see" posture this year....we'll wait to see what bills are introduced,evaluate them and then take a position. I have not had any "preview" as to what bills are being drafted, but I hope to be talking to folks in the next couple of weeks.

I suspect that Sam Slom will introduce his gun friendly bills this year, and if so, HRA will support those.

As far as what "we" can do, I would suggest that folks begin by getting familar with their individual legislators. Then, be prepared to submit testimony on any bills we're interested in. If you can spend some time at the hearings that's another great thing to consider.

Great.

I'll sticky this topic so we can keep track of the issues here.

Today marked the first day of the 2010 Hawaii State Legislative session. I haven't seen anything relating to our Second Amendment rights yet, but will keep checking on it. If you guys hear anything, please post it here.
Thanks.

SB2495 just passed hearing today. I created a thread just for that here:
