Greg,
In 2008, the Hawaii County Police received 1,979 applications for firearm ownership. 1,917 were approved and issued. 23 were approved but not issued (picked up). 36 were rejected. 5,106 total new firearms were registered in Hawaii County in 2008.
Statewide, 10,527 firearm applications were received, 9,923 approved and issued. 492 approved but not issued, 112 were rejected. 22,956 total new firearms were registered in the state for 2008
Public Carry Permits are not broken down by County and reported on a statewide basis. In 2008, statewide, 197 applications were received, 195 were approved and issued. 2 were rejected. I do not believe the names of individuals or counties of issuance are available for Public Carry Permits due to security and safety concerns for the license holder. It also keeps people guessing.
