Anywhere where the government takes away the rights of the people to defend themselves this type of thing gets to be a bigger and bigger problem. Concealed weapon permit, taser, stun gun, and normal pepper spray are all illegal here. The Criminals know that unless you are a big bad ass, or a hidden black belt, you wont have ANYWAY to defend yourself unless you are breaking the law. That makes us all pretty helpless. Add that the police are far away and take forever to respond to the scene, and you have a wonderful environment for crime. I know I love making the decision to either break the law or risk my life anytime I go to a remote beach. And thank the Government of Hawaii for deciding we are all criminals, and that we will only use a Concealed Weapon Permit, taser, Stun gun or normal pepper spray for crimes.
