HRA encourages all interested and eligible individuals to apply for a concealed carry permit.
On Oahu the process requires a trip to the HPD station and they will not let you take the documents out of the station. We believe this is illegal and are looking into the problem. But, in the mean time you can download these documents (you don’t need to download the records release, or first two pages) and use them to make filling out the documents HPD gives you easier.
You will still need to bring in two passport photos to complete the process.
Past reports from the AG seem to under report the number of individuals that have applied for a CCW, so we would like to ask for your assistance in keeping a record of all those that applied and that were denied. To keep track of the denials, we are asking that anyone who gets denied send a copy of the denial to HRA President Harvey Gerwig (hghawaii@gmail.com).
