Let's hope not. Once we open up pandoria's box for this... I'd be afraid even if I were a cop. We got too many gang banger wanna be's as it is but to actually make it legal for them to tote around hardware in public ... Hawaii is currently #1 for lowest gun deaths in the entire nation and would like to keep it that way.
Not so bad on Oahu were the police force is seen but for places in Puna it's a nightmare.
IMO, it's bad enough we let police run around with firearms.
It might be a win for them, but personally I'm not that worried about it since they have a long way to go as I see it. As there would be many many laws that would have to be overturned for this to become reality. If you don't like it, make sure to let your representative know. They will be hearing from me for sure. One reasons I moved here were because we had strict gun laws. If you want a permit to open carry, there are plenty of other states one can move to.
Funny I have some die hard gun freaks as friends that tell me they wouldn't move here for that reason alone.
