We don't want people marching around Pahoa with a gun in their pocket, like they do in Waikiki. You can have a gun in Hawaii. What you are unlikely to be able to do, as in most states, is to conceal it on your person and carry it around. Somehow this gets conflated into "Hawaii won't let you have a gun.". Yes it will (and by law, it must). And if you are a judge or have a certifiably insane and violent ex-boyfriend, you have a good shot, so to speak, at being issued a concealed carry permit, too.
And if you don't like it, move to Texas or Alaska.
