I have not had a chance to read through all the bills yet, so please PM me whether you think some bills should be "support" or "oppose" (so I can color code them).

also used the NRA-ILA link
https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170201/hawaii-anti-gun-bills-scheduled-for-hearing-tomorrow

Submitted my testimony late.  I'll going to the Capital tomorrow to see how the testimonies go.

For those who haven't testified, you don't have to write an essay.  At the very minimum you can just say "I oppose/support SB/HB####." 

That's it.  Phone call, email, or online by signing in at the legislatures webpage.

JL808, in addition to posting upcoming hearing notices via "reply", could you also update your original post with the same information and replace it with new hearings as they come up.  Makes it easier to keep track of especially after months of hearings and replys.

Ok I'll do that.

I attended the SB 280, 898 and 8991 hearings today at the capital along with JL808 and also Harvey Gerwig and Carrie from HRA.  There were also some other progun supporters in the room.  SB280 (terrorist watchlist) was deferred and is probably dead for the year due to due process issues.  The legislature website initially only listed 6 testimonies in opposition, however they added about 25 more at the hearing.   SB 898 (registration)  and 8991(court ordered confiscation)  passed the committee with amendments.  I met Acting Major Nilsen who took over the firearms section from Maj Robinson.  He of course supported the anti-gun bills on behalf of HPD, however he seemed a lot more pleasant to talk to and deal with.

I talked to Harvey Gerwig (HRA) and told him I'd be willing to volunteer full-time for anything they need help with.  He said they are really short handed and could use all the help they can get.  He's going to call me and we'll talk about how volunteers can help HRA.

H 2/3/2017: Bill scheduled to be heard by PBS on Thursday, 02-09-17 10:00AM in House conference room 312.   
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=13   
HB13   Corrections Officers; Concealed Weapon; Off-Duty

S 2/3/2017: The committee(s) on PSM has scheduled a public hearing on 02-07-17 1:20PM in conference room 229.   
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=1035
SB1035   Firearms; Adult Corrections Officers; Exemptions   
RELATING TO FIREARMS.   
Provides state adult corrections officers the same concealed weapon exemptions allowed to state and county law enforcement officers.   
Permitless carry for off-duty corrections officers; Support

H 2/3/2017: The committees on JUD recommend that the measure be PASSED, WITH AMENDMENTS. The votes were as follows: 10 Ayes: Representative(s) Nishimoto, San Buenaventura, Belatti, Brower, Johanson, C. Lee, Morikawa, Nakashima, Oshiro, Thielen; Ayes with reservations: none; Noes: none; and 1 Excused: Representative(s) McDermott.   
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=459
HB459   Firearms; Denial of Permit; Notice   
RELATING TO FIREARMS.   
Requires law enforcement agencies to be notified of the identity of a firearms permit applicant whose application is denied because of firearm prohibitions established under federal or state law.

We should make a good push for the correction officers CCW.  I think it makes a good bridge between LE and civilian CCWs.  I beg the AG and HPD will be against it.  But it'll get the committee thinking hard about the benefits of CCW for non-LE, and warm them up for the civilian CCW bills ahead.

I disagree, but am open to hearing arguments. I believe what this bill does is only further entrench the concept of the "only ones" who may bear arms in public are law enforcement-related, and "civilians" will never, and should never, be part of that privileged group. [The term "only ones" comes from the infamous video of a law enforcement officer bellicosely lecturing an elementary school classroom full of kids about how no one else should ever be allowed to have firearms in public because they (law enforcement) are the "only ones" trained to do so safely. He then seconds later shot himself in the foot, so as to make his statement even more patently absurd than it was in the first place.] I don't think "moving the line" by including another class of "special ones" as CCW licensees (or "permitless") does anything at all for "us". The "line" needs to be abolished, not moved an inch in a direction that further reinforces the already existing unconstitutional de facto ban on civilian carry.
