This is Hawaii county;
Just got my "blow off" CCW letter.
I have to wait till end of the month and then re-apply.
Since we never had an application set up to begin
with, that is an interesting comment.
I do have a criminal trial lawyer on speed dial now.
I still haven't heard back from the US Attorney
and the police commission web site is still down.
This is irritating.

The Bruen SCOTUS decision is shining a huge spotlight on this state's complete violation of the right to bear arms. While the law allows for issuance of licenses to carry, that's just a smoke screen. We all know in reality they never intended to issue a single one through the prescribed statutory procedures. How else does one account for having no application forms or procedures already worked out and in place? Makes no sense if they were actually intending to follow existing law.
If not for the 9th Circus allowing HI to get away with it for so long, a civil rights lawsuit would be appropriate. Instead, our glorious leaders are trying to drag out the inevitable for as long as possible, hoping they'll stumble across yet another unconstitutional means of denials that has yet to be recognized and prohibited by SCOTUS.
Shakespeare had it right when he said, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." -- Henry VI (Part 2) Even though they were talking about killing the good lawyers and judges that would prevent them from seizing power, the tables have been turned. In order to give the power back to the people, we need to remove the corrupt, partisan lawyers and judges from office so they can no longer prevent fair and equal justice for the people while protecting the evil, corrupt and dishonest people in elected and appointed positions of power.
