I don't really care what Hawaii's nonsensical laws say.
A person trespassing on private property, armed to do harm, is a deadly threat.
Knife, gun, bat, stick, bigger than me, whatever..... YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND YOUR FAMILY.
A sensible person wouldn't wait around for the trespasser to break down a door, or in any other way get an upper hand, to kill or harm a family member.
Hawaii's laws coddle and cater to criminals, while citizens have to cower following nonsense laws and at a severe disadvantage. They are getting away with their felonies daily, walk the next day, and continue like nothing happened. ENOUGH OF THAT!
