I am Happy and proud to announce that yesterday the fat lady sang. In partnership with the Hawaii Rifle Association and Attorney Alan Beck, we sued the state of Hawaii for violating the second amendment by blocking qualified non-residents from acquiring concealed carry permits. Alen presented an amazing brief and argument on the historical precedent for travelers to carry weapons for self defence. After a very short waiting period, the State government decided to settle the suit and drop enforcement of a residency requirement for permits.
For now, this only applies to myself and members of of the Hawaii Rifle Association, so if you plan on applying you will need to become a member. But hopefully that will change and the law will get struck down in its entirety.
I can't thank Alen Beck enough for the time and effort he put into this case.
