Here's another doozy of their fascist authoritarian totally subjective bullsh*t:
6.3.9. Whether the applicant has an “urgency” or “need” to carry a
firearm unconcealed rather than concealed, taking into account
considerations such as whether an unconcealed carry license will
enable the applicant to protect life or property more effectively
than a concealed carry license, and whether the intended use of the
unconcealed carry license is likely to cause terror and panic among
the general public (e.g., openly carrying a firearm in a shopping
center may be different than openly carrying a firearm on a quiet
street or in a rural area);
They're admitting that your ability to exercise your fundamental, individual, God-given/natural, unalienable Constitutionally-protected right is contingent upon the response of other people, no matter how stupid, ignorant, paranoid, buffoonish, or idiotically moronic they might be. Yeah, that sounds about right, especially for Hawaii... where those types of people are the vast majority (aka Democrats).
