You can apply for non-resident CCW permits in other states.  Florida, Utah, and Arizona come to mind.  Only Utah, I believe, requires a certified CCW training class, but that could be changing, because they cut the budget that allows the state to certify trainers! 

Once you have a non-resident CCW permit, you need to keep a current list of states your permit/s is recognized in.  I do mean CURRENT, because the state-to-state reciprocity agreements change monthly. 

Most CCW-issuing states recognize any out of state permit with whom they have reciprocity agreements. 

However, some states require you be a resident of the state that issued the permit, usually because the issuing state doesn't honor permits from the state you are visiting.  You should include these states in your list as well, so you understand in which places you have to be a resident of the CCW-issuing state to legally carry.

Basically, as a Hawaii resident, you can get Florida and Arizona non-resident CCW permits through the mail/online and be legal to carry in about half the states.  Utah is recognized in some states that don't honor Florida or Arizona, so that permit is popular, too.  Nevada doesn't offer permits to non-residents, but they do honor Arizona permits, in case you ever find yourself traveling to Nevada for vacation!   

If you get these three permits, FL, UT and AZ, you could be legal to carry in about 35-36 states.  Of course, the places you might really WANT to carry, like Los Angeles, Detroit, and New York City, don't honor any out of state permits.  Go figure!!   

Yes they do...I have one.....they don't call them "non-residence" permits, since all they have are permits....they just put your address on it and that's it....

 

Yes, they do ... what?  Not sure what part of my post you were referring to.  Who is "they"?

Just wondering what you meant.   

He bolded it in your quote.

Thanks for the sanity check, HiCarry.  I was researching this issue a couple months ago, and I forgot why Nevada was such a pain.

It's not that they will accept Arizona, it's the opposite.  Nevada only accepts permits from Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.  Notice AZ, FL, and UT are not honored.  So, if you want to carry in NV, you have to get a permit from either NV or one of the states listed above.

I knew there was an exception for NV, I just didn't check my facts before hitting submit!

Mahalo!   

It's not at the window. I believe you have to ask for it, you know, so they can keep track of the forms and make sure they are in numerical order and whatnot

Would someone be willing to scan a copy of the application and post it on here? I'm curious to know if it is intrusive like the applications in California, Rhode Island, and Maryland.

In all reality, would a chief be chief if he issued carry permits? Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending their non-issuance practice; however, if county police chiefs sit at the pleasure of the county council (I'm assuming it's this way) then I would imagine that if a chief adopted a shall-issue policy for either concealed or open carry permits that he would be unemployed once the nervous nancy's in the county governments found out, right?

Who knows. And only one way to find out.

If I missed it in this thread my apologies, but I personally know a couple retired MPD officers that have CCW permits because of a federal law that allows retired law enforcement to apply for and receive CCW permits. They had to go through CCW training with a certified CCW instructor and go through a lengthy application process but eventually got their permits. Maybe the rest of the Hawaii civilian population will be allowed to CCW one day.

They don't have a concealed carry permit per se. They have a qualification certificate issued according to 18 USC 926c. This certificate must be carried with the photo ID from their former police department. They may carry a concealed firearm "of the same type" they qualified with and they can carry it in any state or territory of the United States notwithstanding state or local law, except...

1. Posted private property
2. Government installation, building, or park if state law prohibits it.

From what I understand, no concealed carry permits are active for any county of Hawaii (HRS 134-9); however, I find that hard to believe.... there has to be some cronie somewhere in government who has quietly been approved for a concealed carry permit... especially in Honolulu where the state government big wigs live.

Thanks for the clarification.
