It would be enforced if you use your firearm.  If you had a medical emergency and EMS does a search before taking  you to the hospital as that's their SOP, you have a medical emergency and your on the floor and your shirt is lifted up, if someone does a hold up and HPD interviews all patrons (law states you're required to notify them), etc....

Or say your detained for X reason after you leave in the parking lot or use your firearm in the parking lot or mall area outside. HPD interviews/interrogates you and you ask where else you've been to prior to this.  Or if you keep quiet as you should (5th amendment), an over zealous prosecutor reviews security cameras and at no time does it show you disarmed in your car.

i think the prosecutor would also need video or eye witness evidence that you were armed before entering the parking lot.  There's no need to disarm upon arrival unless you were armed before arrival.

That's why it all depends on how far back the prosecution wants to trace your steps.  I have a friend with a business and if you park head first into the stalls infront his store, his cameras can see very clearly the driver and passenger seats.

So to elaborate on the last example, you left the gun free establishment and had to use your firearm in the parking lot or had a medical emergency in the parking lot outside of your car.  That means you must have been armed when leaving the business, thus armed when entering and while in there.

Even if there are no cameras that view inside your car, logic would dictate you were armed in the gun free establishment.  Now had you gone into your car first, one could say "i rearmed when I got back into my car".

Please don’t get me wrong guys - I’m not criticizing you in any way when I say

Free men should not have to have this conversation!

That’s it for me, Captain Obvious, today.

And then they get voted in again.  And again.  Forever and ever.  Amen.

Spot on about the homeless nomo money.  But we and the businesses struggling to survive do.

The signs would be provided by the state and it would be illegal to operate a business without the placard. An organization against gun violence said although people have the right to carry a weapon, that could lead to more tragedies.

"This is about our local culture and we are now bending over backwards for an incredibly small proportion of the population who wants to carry a concealed weapon and wants to be able to do it wherever they want to, whenever they want to," said Chris Marvin, Everytown for Gun Safety. "They want to eat their meals with it. They want to shop with it. Look they can have guns, that's their second amendment right, but let's be responsible with it."

Legislators are expected to introduce more gun-related bills by the Wednesday deadline.

While reading this comment I question what statistics bear if you compare deaths by legal concealed carry permit holders, vs people getting hit by cars because they were looking at cell phones and walking into traffic. A firearm is a tool, just like a phone. Be consistent, Ban all cell phones.

“  Legislature for House Bill 1636, held a hearing on the bill.
No one spoke in favor of it. It was opposed by Hawai‘i Food Industry Association, KTA Super Stores, and Retail Merchants of Hawai‘i.
It passed anyway, with seven ayes from Representatives Ilagan, Hussey, Holt, Tam, Templo, Yamashita and Gedeon.
'“This bill exists, and is being stubbornly defended over public opposition, ''

   The duties and responsibilities of a legislator are . . .
Lawmaking: Legislators are primarily responsible for creating, amending, and passing laws that address the needs and concerns of their constituents.
Representation: Legislators serve as representatives of their constituents. They act as a voice for the people who elected them and advocate for their interests. This includes understanding the concerns and needs of their constituents.
Constituent Services: Legislators provide assistance to constituents by addressing their concerns, answering inquiries, and assisting with issues related to government agencies and services.

 So if legislators are not addressing the needs and concerns of their constituents acting as a voice for the people who elected them and advocate for their interests or providing assistance to constituents by addressing their concerns, are they not violating their duties and responsibility's ?
