The application doesn’t cask for S/N, only caliber. So maybe we’ll get lucky (probably not) and be able to carry anything in the chosen caliber 

Yeah, Hawaii Demokrat politicians so stupid.  Or it could be they just assh*les and doing it on purpose because they are just hopelessly and illogically anti-gun.

Take this CCW issue for example.  These asshats want you to apply for a CCW for EACH firearm you own that you might carry.  They will run you through basically the same process that you already went through to acquire your firearms.

So stupid.  They already have all the information on you that anyone in this whole f**kn world would need. 

One CCW permit with the information of all the firearms you list as CCW firearms is enough.  "They" know it but will "they" do it?  Of course not.

They are doing this on purpose.

They need to keep HPD busy. Imagine processing even 2 permits EVERY year per ccw holder.  Most states have a 5 year term.  We got idiot legislators who want to make it 6 months.

Proof right there the f**kers are doing it on purpose.

I don't expect anything from our politicians, but I figured-- at the very least-- the Hawaiian and Japanese population wouldn't vote to give the government more control given the history of how they treated them.

Given the duration of Democrat rule in the state, it appears the subjects are happy with a one-party monarchy.

Given the thousands of years of history, Japanese/Asian culture is happy being subservient to their overlords. Yes, proud warriors (Samurai, Ronin, Ninja, etc.) but... always loyal to the master and their rule. That's why they had Emperors. not elected representatives.

Tie that to the very recent plantation lifestyles in the islands, and it's obvious that the days of expecting to be taken care of by your employer is a difficult thing to quit all at once.

That is the real root of the politics in Hawaii.
I grew up in and succeeded in a very dog eat dog world
of Aerospace and academia.  If you weren't making money or
doing outstanding science, you were history.
I remember taking a class on how to terminate employees.
Hawaiian government doesn't recognize personal freedoms and the
resultant responsibilities.
It is too hard for them to be free men and women as that requires
they deal with personal failures.
You will fail. That is a fact of life.  How you learn from that failure
and how you recover, is a measure of your worth to the world.
Most people are afraid of that test.

Serial number was required.

reading this whole thread, if i understand it correctly, as of now you only can have one handgun as your carry gun. okay. so when you want to change your carry gun do you have to go through the whole application process again or just notify HPD of your new carry gun?

Each gun needs it's own application. Many submitted more than 1 app so they don't have to come back.
