Anyone there apply yet?  Isn't their new chief from Vegas PD?  Who of which issues CCW's are "shall issue".

So if anyone is denied, we have confirmation that it's 100% political.

Not really. He is enforcing and interpreting a completely different law in Hawaii re requirements for a license here compared to the requirements for a permit there in Nevada.

That doesn't mean that Kauai denying licenses isn't "political", just that it isn't proof that it is.

That also doesn't mean that he won't issue any licenses based upon whatever criteria he establishes for "exceptional case" (ccw) or "urgency and need" (open). If he issues more than a few though, it will get "political" very quickly... and he'll likely be looking for a new job... but he may have already signed a pre-hire agreement to abide by certain restrictions on issuing.

Exceptional is not defined, so he could use it loosely and approve many permits if he wanted to and issuing wasn't political.

So say if you were issued a CCW license/permit from Kaua`i county, would that license/permit be good for the whole state, or just that county?
