Thanks Sketch!
Finally found their revised statutes online. Permit for everything...purchase, transfer, inheritance, and of course the "show a need" permit to carry concealed.
Ironically there are no restrictions on WHERE you may carry, once you have that permit.
State officials in Hawai'i are having a tissy right now, due to the federal 9th district ruling against Cali on "show a need" permitting processes. As I have relatives there now (needing a job), seems like an opportune time to expand operations.
