Hawaii has issued 1 gun carry permit since high court ruling
HONOLULU (AP) — In Hawaii, it has traditionally been practically impossible to obtain police permission to carry a loaded gun in public. And so far that hasn’t changed, even after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling making it easier to get such permits. Since the decision in June, only one permit has been granted.
The Honolulu Police Department, the state’s largest, hasn’t even updated its process for people to seek a permit. It has 333 pending applications. Among them is one from Hawaii Rifle Association President Kainoa Kaku.
