My LIFE firearm safety class affidavit is expiring soon and I was wondering if I would need I retake it again should I want to buy another handgun. Do I?

Any affidavit issued after successful completion of a LIFE class does not expire. What makes you think yours does?

I don't understand.  The affidavit should not expire.

Affidavits don't expire.  Yours is fine!

Huh you're right. I should have checked. Sorry, my bad.

Someone told me one year is almost up and mentioned it would expire. I checked the affidavit and don't see any expiration date. Whew -- thanks guys! 

No, not rubbing it in.  We've got our own infringements here in Colorado.  It's just that most people (and I'm not talking about Hawaii here) don't recognize how so many of these things are actually infringements.

In fact, your Hawaiian Constitution is less restricted than our Colorado one with respect to bearing arms.  Yours reads just  like the US Constitution:

15.A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

But ours reads thusly:

The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons.

So, no, I'm not rubbing it in.

I'm just raising consciousness about what an infringement is, not only to the members of the board, but to any of your lawmakers, executives, and law enforcement officers who happen to read this.

I'm rubbing it in to them.

Hopefully, I'm rubbing them raw.

you're probably thinking of the long gun permit.  Those expire after 1 year.

To me that follows that open carry should be legal and shall issue, but ccw is discretionary.  Aside from what I know about CCW / Non-residents in Denver, is this not the case for CO in general (open carry authorized, ccw if you have a permit).

you're probably thinking of the long gun permit.  Those expire after 1 year.

Yes I think the person I was talking to got both of those (affidavit and long gun permit) mixed up and got me mixed up in the process.

As I often say with my own minor boo-boos, "Let that be my worst mistake of the <day> <week> <month> <year>."

But it's still an infringement.
