This is where the rubber meets the road for our state! After much deliberation and consultation with outside sources, Hawaii Concealed Carry requires your assistance. We need all qualified persons to apply for a handgun carry permit with the State of Hawaii, in whatever county you reside. We encourage Big Island, Kauai, and Maui to also apply within their respective county. You may apply for an open carry or concealed carry permit.
Don’t know if you are qualified? Please follow this checklist:
(1) I’m at least 21 years or older.
(2) I’m qualified to use the firearm in a safe manner
(this means you have taken a LIFE course, NRA course, Handgun Permit Class, are military, prior law enforcement, or have in some other way met the requirements to purchase a handgun previously in this state);
(3) Not be prohibited under section 134-7 from the ownership or possession of a firearm; (Are you under TRO? Domestic Violence etc.)
(4) Not have been adjudged insane or not appear to be mentally deranged. (Has a court told you that you are unfit mentally)
You will be asked to provide a narrative of why you want to carry weapons. This is not in the statute, but is recommended. These reasons can be things like ” I wish to protect my family “, “I had someone threaten me”, “Self-Defense”, “I have been assaulted”, “Domestic Violence victim” etc.
Please, if you require assistance with the writing of a narrative contact me: Chris@Hawaiiccw.com .
If you are military, and have previously been fingerprinted by the state for your transfer weapons they will ask you to pay another 19.25 cents, in exact change. We are currently investigating the legalities of this charge, at this time — pay it. Document that you paid it and forward that information to myself.
Thing we want you to do! THIS IS IMPORTANT
– Document everything:
What officers did you speak with? What did the officers say to you? What did they tell you? Did the officers discourage you from applying? Did they say you wouldn’t get it? Did they say only xxxx people get these? We encourage you to be as descriptive as possible!
– We need this information, and the follow on information that they send you. We request any and all correspondence from the state regarding these permits. Redact information you don't want us to have. All data will be kept private.
– Please inform us of your history. We don’t require everything.. but we need to know anything big that may come out in the future.
Get this information out! We need this to build our plaintiff pool!!
