If this becomes law, the State of HI (meaning the anti-gun state Legislature, Governor, Police Chief, etc.) ain't going to be happy! Won't they be forced to let visitors having CC permits from their home states CC while in HI?
Although HI has and continues to disregard the 2nd Amendment with impunity (doesn't allow OC and won't issue permits for CC, therefore no "bearing" of arms allowed), STILL, it DOES have a CC permit system in place -- whether they ISSUE any or not...meaning theoretically, it IS possible to get a permit. So since HI DOES have a permit system in place, they would have to honor OTHER states' CC permits, right?
I suspect that like some other antigun/repressive states (like CA), HI might do whatever it can get away with (meaning just about anything, and the people there won't protest), to prevent "all these people coming in with guns." There'll be a big hurry to find SOME way to short-curcuit any federal CCW law in order to keep their respective anti-gun status-quo agendas intact.
I wonder how states like CA and HI are going to react, or if even NOW they are making plans to weasel their way around any new federal/national CCW law...
But you know, it's outrageously ironic that in the near future, mainlanders just might be able to go to repressive HI -- where no one THERE can get a CC permit -- yet the "outsiders" would be ABLE to CC in HI since he/she would have a CC permit from his/her home state. And whether the HPD Police Chief likes it or not. Can you see HPD doing any wholesale harrassment of mainlanders discovered to be carrying CC?
