but wouldn't this fall under federal control seeing as states still have to follow and respect fopa(unless you are new york) when it comes to people bringing firearms from out of state?

Ok I will play devils advocate here and say that my CC license from AZ should be honored here then?

no one's CC license is honored here.

i dont even think visiting cops and the like get those official rights.

Out of state cops can carry in all 50 states under LEOSA

"No such rule or regulation prescribed AFTER the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act." 

Im thinking maybe the "after" in the above section means that no new registration rules could be enacted, but ones already in place could remain? idk im not a lawyer

well firearms registration in hawaii was started after fopa was passed.

i thought that they could only carry if on the job. wasnt that the whole thing they were saying about that federal agent killed that guy in honolulu. he wasnt supposed to even have been armed because the conference was over?

So I checked with some people, but I'm not sure how reliable this info is. LEO can carry 24/7 in the state they work in, but if in another state and not currently "on a case in which they are actively working" they are concidered like civilians. For example HI has no CC a police officer from another state who would have no jurisdiction here, comes here on vacation, he can't walk around with a gun. But like I say I concidered my source a good source of info but I wouldn't take it to the bank. If anyone can find out for sure I'd like to know because I wondered the same thing.

If you are not on official duty with your governmental law enforcement agency and you are carrying a concealed firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 926B, you are not considered a “law enforcement officer” in the State of Hawaii. The Hawaii Revised Statutes will be applied to you as if you were a “civilian” with no law enforcement powers.

So does one need to become a cop to ccw legally in Hawaii?
