Having lived there growing up, I seriously doubt this will get very far, but at least the pro gun folks are still trying.

Man, I really hope so. Thank you for posting this, I had no idea anyone was even trying here, I'm buying a Glock 19 here soon, and I think it would be awesome if I could start carrying again, more than just around my house. I have felt naked every day I leave the house out here. :smt1099

Not holding my breath. Would be nice and with the ever growing crime satistics one would logically conclude passage. But when has a Democratic stronghold ever acted in a logical manner?

I grew up there and I just don't see it passing. Sorry, I call 'em as I see 'em.

just gunna make it easier to scare the haoles away from the island

i dont see it going anywhere since Hawaii required a gun safety course in order to apply for a gun owners permit, and those classes in Honolulu cost upwards of 300 dollars. unless things changed since july 09 when I left
