Governor approves law making it is no longer illegal to carry dangerous weapons in public 

💯

No it shouldn't Move to Ohio.

Criminals don't do background checks, Criminals don't follow the laws. Gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens, Criminals you get the money, you get the merchandise. Criminals carry weapons anywhere. That's Ohio. Worry about your own backyard and your state. Hawaii is just corrupted like the mainland, Hawaii is no different

Criminals don't care about mental illness, criminals don't follow any gun laws, Criminals you get the cash, then you get the merchandise, no gun permit, no background checks. Gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens. Worry about Hawaii and not Ohio. Hawaii is corrupted themselves.

What is Green smoking?

Only you getting dumber.

Someone was forced to legalize it

Tell that to the people getting Robbed at Gunpoint and can't do nothing cause they don't have anything to protect them!

So they passed a law that allows you to open carry and you are still b****hing. Typical MAGA troll.

Firearms should never be banned, guns are good we need them but they should only be for the good citizens.

Not dangerous? You ever grabbed a sharp knife by the wrong end?

america has influenced (like the cartel they are) the islands and so much disparity has come of it what and sketchy and drugged out of their minds locals and others already on the loose running around. Now adding ammunition to the mix, plus plenty of these disturbed minds......great combination. Anybody can get weapons we know this fact. Timebombs as in "humans" all over these islands. Unreal. Let's see now how the statistics in 2024 become of more violence riseing...more different techniques with weapons that before now were not common.

@@anonymous-zn2iv That is YOUR stupidity. Without your (or other people's) stupidity/evil, they are harmless. Go after those that cause harm!

How do you define a good citizen?

@@anonymous-zn2iv You know... No felony record and stable minded person.

@@kawikadee9670 Those two traits don't usually result in carrying a weapon in public unless they are police.

@@anonymous-zn2iv Well that's my opinion and others might agree.

@@anonymous-zn2iv Incorrect. I have been carrying a defensive weapon in Hawaii for YEARS (legally), luckily, I have never had to use it.

For all of you that "liked" this comment, he was being facetious . And the NRA didn't donate ANYTHING to this change.

Just need to get rid of the “no stand ur ground law” bs and all is well.

@agent00soul48 I'm not complaining about this law, but it needs to be paired with further protections. People are stabbing each other all the time on O'ahu. Blaming the knife is just dumb. MACA!

I was and raised in Hawaii and there was trouble where I grew up. My cousin told me that Hawaii was changing but it doesn’t seem for the good. I’m so glad that I didn’t vote for that stupid governor that’s in office now. Makes me think twice before coming back home to Hawaii.

Green is an Emergency doctor. He didn’t want to pass this law, doesn’t want more guns or weapons. . He had to comply because of the Supreme Court rulings. Do your research. He is trying to stop more guns by requiring a gun permit.

Why? Because he is as crazy as the many crazies carrying weapons. Too many good ol boys with weapons cause they are not anatomically built

He had no choice. The Supreme Court ruled to legalize weapons so he at least made it open carry. This is a result of the over zealous response to the second amendment and the power of the NRA.

Lol. Awwwwww.

@@happylivinginparadise9151this is great news for law abiding citizens. Levels the playing field. It’s just dumb that it must be open carry

@@alaefarmestatesllc i do not support either option but I would rather have open carry so we can see where the threat is rather than concealed where you do not know who is carrying. I don’t believe more guns will keep us safer and I especially don’t believe it is safer for our schools.

You should have voted for Trump and Aiona.

Or let the criminals come after us.

@@BobbyHo2022 They are anyway. What is stopping them? Laws? Try wait bra, is already against da law to keel someone.

Yes

yep

Yup.....so now deranged and drugged outta their minds tweekers can now remove the samurai from tutu's wall and go on a rampage. When maybe yuh before now no weapon was available. Pilau

@@river4462tweakers been doing that even before this law! At least now law abiding citizens can protect themselves!

@@poiboi808 How will you know that guy standing next to you in line carrying a butterfly knife or katana is a law abiding citizen?

I'm losing my mind reading your comment.

Nope just you

I think I lost braincell reading trash comment, you forget what country this is😂.

@@BeyondParadise808 because you have a room temperature IQ

It’s the system…not the people of Hawaii…big difference

Next? The purge is already happening!in Maui The locals are purging other locals of their private properties”(with the blessing of Green)that paid the most taxes….. Upside down world 🌍

It's called 'THE RIGHT TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN PUBLIC AND THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS." It's an American right you know. Welcome to America!

Nothing. This is glorious for law abiding citizens. Levels the playing field

Too many Americans are moving here and we’re having to find ways to stay safe against them.

Stab city here we come

Let's hope so

Yah seems like an odd move for him. Hard to believe he thinks its ok to carry around butterfly knives and spears out in public. So I guess a person can walk around with a katana without the police stopping you or somebody calling the cops.

who woulda thought

Trump 2024!

🤞

There is crime in every state, although crime numbers are down across the board. It was Republicans that pushed for more lax gun laws. Green and our AG tried to mitigate the fallout but it was a Supreme Court ruling that sunk us. Green had no choice but to comply with that ruling, that was the opinion of the AG’s office. No one is ever happy with how violent or repeat criminals are handled. How many, many times do we hear of criminals being released or found not guilty on a technicality or lack of evidence, subsequently going out to commit more crimes in mainland states (red and blue). So it’s not more lax here than any other state. Everyone has rights, even criminals. That’s rooted in the law of the land. Lucky we live Hawaiʻi. Lucky we codified abortion rights here so our wahine maintain that choice, so Hawaiʻi is a great place for us to live. It’s always an option to move to a place that is more in line with your political views.

Now we going have way less crime. You think the crooks are going to want to rob you now?

I know, it should only be for the good citizens.

How dumb? Who's dumb? It's the voters who keep reelecting them, that's who's"dumb"

@agent00soul48 The SCOTUS simply applies the Constitution of the United States. If you don't like the ruling, then "thank" the Constitution.

@agent00soul48 I said "applies", not "interprets". But one can say that application requires interpretation. Nevertheless, you have to admit that the 2nd Amendment was not created/written by the SCOTUS. They didn't just pull it out of their a_ses. And you can't "interpret" something that doesn't exist.

@agent00soul48 An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification. "Easier said than done." (especially in today's political polarization)

you could always carry that.

I’m with you Harry

Yes you can but you have to have it seen on your belt I guess.

@kawikadee9670 The brass knuckles are about to become a fashion statement.

Already got mine out, going Sam’s club today 😂

@@vibe808 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂....no foget da tabi's ah killah! And da t-shirt mask💪

They are all completely harmless, unless you intend to do evil with them...

You should’ve called 911!

All by design.

Eh, how's the surf hehe.

theres more good people than bad people. this is a good thing.

Who cares. This levels the playing field. U think criminals follow laws? No. So all this time they been carrying while law abiding citizens been getting robbed. Now criminals don’t have free reign

What could go wrong? You mean being given the ability to defend yourself and openly carrying your defenses is a wrong thing? I need to taste your sheltered life. Must be good sitting in bliss not worrying about being attacked by violent criminals.

@@kobragangbit yuh well MANY good people do not carry guns or swords. Or whatever weapons. There will be weapons brought out specifically "those" not permitted. This is going to open so many avenues (for the worse)no one has even considered. Give plenty idiots an inch they go miles and miles this will get so out of control and when it does the ignorant officials will walk away.

If that happens and you need help, and the cops can't get to you in time, I hope a good Samaritan in Hawai'i will protect you and your family with a legally concealed firearm.

Jets vs Sharks Yay.

You are an idiot. It is not the gun or the switch blade or the nun-chuck or the satrs that need to be restricted, it is the BAD person. Lock them up. If the crime is bad enough, _______ them, can't say it here, I' ll get banned (capital punishment). In the past punishments were public, to humilate or to use as an example (ie: don't do what this fool did). It worked.

Like the paramedics didn’t have enough to worry about already

It’s compliance with the SCOTUS ruling. He is an ER doctor. He didn’t want this.

Lol. Think twice, or three times if they want to rob a Samoan wielding a spear. Lol.

But how will you know that guy carrying a spear isn't a crazy killer or will snap if he thinks you slighted him and chop your hands off?

To be honest, they don't know about new laws. They are out stealing and getting high.

Ah yes. The sheltered life. Ignorance is bliss.

It's so that the neighborhood watch can take back their neighborhood on the westside.

Well, criminals are concealing weapons illegally, wouldn’t you want the ability to carry something to defend yourself from them?

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I already do, but it isn’t for show.

@@barbie6695 Im going to try to ignore how cringe your comment was 👀😳🤭..…. not everyone is comfortable carrying 🔥arms _(excuse the attempt at subterfuge in disguising the word, it’s an attempt at avoiding a flag/deletion of my comment)_ & the world doesn’t revolve around you, they didn’t write the law for you specifically.

Why.

I was thinking the same..... lol I

7-11 swordsman That’s perfect

711 guy was cool, it was the other guy that was a prick. The trouble maker wants to play victim now because he can't play with little jr now.

@@kawikadee9670 Yep. He could have had a hoppy day too. Just saying..

Not really, mainland is way worst.

@@kawikadee9670 True, but not all of our tourists are from America. Japanese people are very timid, so area lot of foreigners. I think this could negatively affect international tourism & I’d MUCH rather have them than Americans, Americans are the kind of tourists everyone complains about.

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom Everyone should walk around with a koa spear or leiomano and wear a malo so the tourist can see the old Hawaii. Would that be better?

@@kawikadee9670 I don’t see how that would make international tourists feel safe OR how your comment is even relevant to mine.

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I guess it went over your head.

Politics are a mess everywhere.

Depends how you define a "mass" shooting. Byran Uyesugi shot/killed 7 people here in 1999. Wikipedia called it "an incident of mass murder".

@gregcarter8656 yes I recall that was many years ago, almost 25 years to be exact. it was a disgruntled worker. Who took it out his co workers...but in Hawaii's history I believe that has been the only "mass shooting"

@@Nicole-wn4kp 2024 March 10th Sunday, about 3 months ago, Paris Oda stabbed/killed 4 people, and then himself, in a murder-suicide at their home in Manoa valley. NO GUN NEEDED FOR MASS MURDER. During Kamehameha's overthrow of Oahu in 1795, his men used guns, spears, clubs, whatever, to mass shoot and mass kill hundreds of Oahu people. Hawaii's history has plenty of violence, WITH and WITHOUT guns.

@gregcarter8656 with all do respect, idk what the heck the manoa suicide/murders have to do with what I said. I just don't think legalizing more dangerous weapons in Hawaii make it safer place or anywhere, for that matter. I'm sorry my views don't match yours, and if you don't like them, please keep scrolling and stop trolling....I'm speaking for majority of Hawaii who don't want it to turn into the mainland...probably where your from. I can smell the Haole from here. 🦶🪨✌️

What is the difference between that and a rock? Is it illegal to carry a rock? What about a stick? How about a hammer? A screwdriver?? They are ALL lethal weapons if used offensively. Some people's hands are lethal weapons! Should we outlaw hands?? NO! It is how they are USED! Prosecute the criminals!

As long as you act responsibly with it, yes. Act like an idiot with it, get taken down. As it should be.

Green was forced to comply because of over zealous gun enthusiasts, the NRA and the Supreme Court ruling. The 2nd amendment has ,been purposely misinterpreted and here we are. The Gov, AG and the police chiefs NEVER wanted lax gun laws, never wanted open or concealed carry.

Really...only so many places to take cover...wtfwtfwtf

lmao you people on the left cant live in my state of Kansas...you would go nuts... Softies

$$$$$$&&$$&&& Graft

Bullshit.

The Supreme Court (that decides if a law is Constitutional - Their ONLY focus) has NOT said that anyone can carry anything anywhere. They HAVE said that many firearm laws (that restrict lawful Citizens) are contrary to the Constitution.

I like what you did there!

Of course just have it in full view.

It doesn't pertain to firearms. You can open carry a sword like a katana for example.

@@BeyondParadise808where’s it say that? Guns in Hawaii has always been pushed as a “dangerous weapon”. Are they saying it isn’t a dangerous weapon now? And if it’s no longer a dangerous weapon, then it should be allowed in public, out in the open.

No you need to get ccw training.

@@kawikadee9670 already did that.

@@alaefarmestatesllc That's good. If you haven't already you go to hpd and apply and if you have you ccw you have to conceal it.

As long as you’re not threatening anyone.

This is insane. I love it!

You can get a sword for cheap.

a 4" knife is as deadly as a sword... (you just have to get closer...)

Machetes are a common sight when people are landscaping, doing yardwork, etc.

@@Milfordbeach Probably not in Waikiki or Ala Moana though.

@@pinoygal6232 👍

All the Hawaiians that everyone pushed out took it with them… this is now Hawai’ifornia.

@@The.Hawaiian.KingdomCalifornia would never allow this. lol. I’m all for it. Level the playing field against criminals

@@alaefarmestatesllc Californian residents make up the largest transplant population moving here… which coincides with a huge uptick in violent crime in Hawai’i… which is resulting in measures like this needing to take place. That was my point, not that the California state officials would do something like this. And for the record, under the circumstances we’re being faced with now days, I’m for this measure as well, Hawai’i is gone, it’s Hawai’ifornia now and we need to be able to defend ourselves against that.

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom oh I’m all for it as well. I just hope guns are included into this new open carry law. Cuz if not, then is our state now saying guns aren’t “dangerous weapons” like they have always been done? If it’s no longer considered a dangerous weapon, then I should be able to open carry it, or conceal carry it everywhere. I agree with u on all ur points. Hawaii is long gone.

@@alaefarmestatesllc That’s a good question and the “state”, as per usual, isn’t being clear on the definition. I’m assuming (or more accurately, I’m hoping) they will clarify how this pertains to firearms, sometime in the near future.

How about a rock? A stick? A baseball bat (and a few softballs?) ANYTHING can be a dangerous weapon if used offensively.

no.... lol
