Nice catch. I can't find it either in the chiefs rules. It may have been in the 1st draft. Also it's not mentioned in HRS134-9.
I have a feeling the new state legislature will address a boat-load of CCW-related bills in the upcoming session.
I anticipate someone will include the Duty to Inform for licensed concealed carriers.
Whether or not they include on-the-spot verification of the firearm specs remains to be seen as well.
Anytime a license holder is asked by a Cop to remove a gun from his holster, there is a greater possibility for something bad to happen.
Most Cops tell the licensee to keep the firearm holstered and his hands away from his waist for the safety of everyone.
In order to inspect it, the gun must be drawn, unloaded, cleared and then reloaded and reholstered. Lots of steps in the process.
i'd never hand a loaded weapon to someone i don't know -- including Cops -- unless ordered to .... as in, "Drop your weapon!"
A routine police interaction should not involve handling the firearm just for compliance verification. Risk > benefit.
Recall how nervous you may have been the first time you got pulled over for a traffic stop. Now add to that the stress of having to handle a loaded weapon on the side of the road while the Cop/s watch your every move. It's just stupid if the lawmakers decide firearm verification needs to be a 'thing" with every police interaction.
