BTW, I didn't realize I was "splitting hairs" when I asked politely for the text of the Bruen decision that said what you said they said:
You made a very definitive statement.
I'm not splitting hairs. I'm looking for your source is all.
We sound like two engineers in a pissing match.
Typically if you have a Hawaii hunting license the state of Hawaii thinks you are qualified to carry a gun in public. and shoot to kill things
in public, in a safe manner.
Our police chiefs don't agree, obviously.
Yes the law is ambiguous.
I'll refer to the historical reference of that decision. When historically did you need a
test to own, operate and carry a weapon for self defense?
We'll have to agree to disagree, I'm not convinced the cops are acting lawfully
in the deprivation of our rights, by use of an arbitrary test. Indeed I insist they are violating our
Constitutional rights, on purpose and with no regard for our personal safety.
I'm sure Hawaii will pass some New York style laws, but till they do I see the
SCOTUS ruling as a shall issue when you follow the basic qualifications age, lack of criminal record,
and no history of illness. Every other state interprets it that way.
Even California.
