Went to register the CZ P10C and the snack shop side was open for apps. I went right to register the pistol.

Wanted to drop off CCW app after that but was told the snack shop side is a "gun free zone".

 Cant leave gun in car, and HPD had no "storage". Only option was to go home and drop off gun and come back. Or drop off back at gun shop and come back. I didnt want to make a 3rd trip in 1 day.

What was salt on the wound was there was no line. Ill try again later.

If you had the gun case in a backpack, and if you didn't ask if it's okay to bring a pistol in, I doubt they would have even known you had it. 

Did they have signs posted saying "no guns"?

Something like that, I believe No Firearms?

There is the sign "gun free zone"

I've witnessed someone leave a firearm on the gun side while they do business on the paper side before, but this is hpd firearms division. Expect the unexpected.....

Walk past gun free zone signs every time.  They do no one any good.

I've seen this many times, but hey had to go and feed the meter.  The issue is that the people there registering guns won't steal anything (law abiding).  But it's the others who come in to pick up police reports might.  I've seen bums inside many times.

Guy at window told me "only PD or military can apply".

Told him we are a "may issue" state and anyone can apply.

Asked if i was testing his knowledge. Situation started to be confrontational.

Asked if i was the guy that kept applying. Told him i was there on weds registering a pistol, but couldnt enter due to "gun free zone" sign.

Then another officer said "he's just trying his luck". And that i can apply.

Was made to fill out 2 sets of medical waivers (yellow and white 4 total papers) and 2 permit apps (ones in the front, not carbon). Even though app online doesnt require. I didnt want to argue more.

After that officer was cool and said he actually thinks its a good idea.

Does HPD even know what the laws actually say? Obviously looking through past posts about registering, permits, CCW, etc, they just seem to make it up as they go along and on how they feel at that particular moment.

I wonder how many others were turned away because they were told the same.  I did feel uncomfortable while trying to explain the law, but that's just the way I am, I don't like to rock the boat.

I was surprised they didn't ask for my pistol registration.  But I guess when I showed what's required via the HPD website, #1 says must have a registered pistol in Hawaii, not bring your reg.

Don't want to be labeled a "fanatic" either.

They already have your pistol registration on file. They can easily look it up if that's all that's stopping approval.

They looked it up on the system.  But what's stopping the approval would be the chief.  Officer at the counter said my CCW app goes straight to her desk.  But did like my reason why I fear for my life.

Reason for CCW in Hawaii?
Because carrying a big dog is not practical.
Well maybe if we can alter the definition of "service" dog to include self-defense dog.

that is a correct observation


when I applied years ago, officer told me, "what you going apply for?  you going get denied anyways."

When the cop said i have a good reason.

Completed ccw app
Registered handgun in hawaii
Gov issued ID

Which is funny because I would say it’s the one time they could get away with Rapback enrollment

How the hell is that constitutional here at all?!  Such absolute bullshit.  Just carry regardless of their BS laws.

You know that for a fact?

I think you're being disingenuous.
