they = DLNR.

That would be good for me. I lost the Hawaii handgun course paper.  The only ones I can find are from Front Sight.

no one here does anything illegal...

The in-person Hawaii Hunter's Ed course doesn't include live fire training, but the state accepts that training certification card for handgun permits in order to avoid the legal challenges of forcing gun buyers to pay for training to exercise a right.  You'll be mailed the same certification card the in-person class issues. 

The Hawaii Gun statues (HRS 134) reference the Hunter's Ed statute (HRS 183D-28).  As long as you get the certificate and can use it to buy hunting licenses, you can also use it to apply for a handgun Permit to Acquire.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't work for the HPD or DLNR.  All I know is what the law states and what the online hunter's ed website states.

If the online class didn't meet the same standards as the in-person class, they couldn't legitimately offer the same certification. 

DLNR already had a "combo" option in which you could take the class online and do the test in-person.  So, there's really not much different with the new course with regard to content and certification.

X-ring does an Arizona CCW reciprocity course unless they stopped.

After getting the hunting license.  There's some good hog hunting on all the islands.  Nothing illegal about culling the piggies on state hunting grounds.

Great story. What do you propose as a solution?

I asked, because RSN172 lost his affidavit for the Hawaii handgun safety course -- different from Hunter's Ed.

If I'm correct, he hasn't taken the Hunter's Ed course yet, and sees the online course as a way to "replace" the affidavit with a Hunter's Ed certificate.

My interpretation, but I might not be correct.

you haven't had to take a class for a long time...

ahhh, I see, said the blind man.  my bad.

as they say, reading is fundamental, I came up a little short.

I was very happy that we finally got an online version of this course (thanks COVID). I took it, and it took about two days for me doing it pretty aggressively. Definitely worth the $20 or whatever it was, because the handgun classes you need to acquire are seven or times more expensive and are always full.

You have a right to keep and bear arms. As with any tool that can cause death or serious injury (cars, cooking appliances, knives, power tools, ladders...), you have a responsibility to know how to safely store and use them.  If you don't know already, get some help to learn it.  If you already know, taking a course can be beneficial, but should not be required.

With rights comes responsibilities, but not requirements.
 Imagine a world where you had to get a permit from the government to use facespace.

Hawaii DLNR now has an official Hunters Education course online to qualify you for a hunting license and a permit to acquire a handgun.  This is a 4 to 6 hour course entirely online and costs $19.95.  DLNR has suspended their in class hunters education course due to COVID and stopped doing the hybrid online/classroom course.

This class does not teach you how to shoot a gun, so is best reserved for those that already know how to shoot a handgun and need a qualifying training course.

Thanks for the info Todd!  I'm taking the course this week.  There may be a market in culling piggies like Texas, farmers were paying $20 per hog.
