This is why we need concealed carry

Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women's basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot.
Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.
The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police.
One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We've learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.
Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities.
Crime scene tape could be seen on Lafayette Boulevard and also around the back parking lot of the school near the gym.
Students could be seen being walked to their cars late Friday night

Nice. How does one become a reserve police officer?

Great story! I always love it when crime backfires on punks that prey on our elders, assuming they are always easy targets to victimize.

Well, first step is to go to a state that has them. I believe HPD does have some reserve officers, but it's hard to get in.

For HPD the process is the same as for becoming a regular police officer: You apply, go throguh testing, attend training, and then go through more testing...after 16 months, you spend 1 year on probabtion as a recruit. If you sucessfully complete the training/probation, you're a reserve officer and are required to work at least 1 shift a week. It's an unpaid position with few benefits and you only have "police powers" when working.

No, that's not how it works. Reserve officers are not appointed and it doesn't matter who they know. Everyone, including LE from other states (or even within Hawaii), is required to go through the same training.
