I flew in from Honolulu to try and aquire two long guns that were confiscated from my nephew in…read moreLaupahoehoe. The two ladies that I spoke with and asked what procedures I would have to go through amongst other questions were friendly and more than very helpful. I didn't have one whif of attitude at all. If this was in Honolulu, I would've been shut down and the buck would've been passed within five minutes of my questions. The Lt. of the firearms division that they gave me the number to contact for more info was pleasant to talk with though it was on the phone. He wasn't in the office when I was there. This is still an ongoing mission of mine.

Hawaii police Department has a unusual hiring process. When getting a license or other…read morequalification, you pass the test and move on. When you pass all the requirements of getting a drivers, concealed carry, or commercial license, you get your license. For years Hawaii police have suppressed Constitutional rights of the People by refusing constitutional carry, or concealed carry, unless they saw a reason. Now with the police Department you can pass all the requirements, psychological tests, physical examinations, and still be denied because of prejudice, discrimination, and other unfair hiring practices. I have personally been refused a job in the police department because of these conditions. Many officers that have been hired, were hired because of relatives who are in charge of the hiring process, even though the candidates have been more than substantially proven to not be qualified. After these candidates that the police allow being hired, not much "We The People" can do to remove them, even after several unlawful actions of conduct, problems with their illegal actions, and integrity, (lying about the situations). Body cams help now, but if they were in use years ago. Many police officers with 15-20+ years of service would not still have a job, and hopefully have their pension's removed. Other problems are we keep having find new Police Chiefs faster than we can fill the position with Qualified candidates, and so the continued unlawful recruitment, conduct, and retention continues. Many police officer candidates in the past that past the police officer tests were more than Qualified than several of the Now Officers employed, but were passed up because of the department's Personal Choice, who they were related to, and many other unlawful hiring practices. We can't have lawful enforcement when you hire people that do not think they are subject to the same Laws they Enforce. The washouts have been more than a little extreme, and I'm pretty sure we all know why. Do not get me wrong. Many police are where they should be. At the same time, many should have Never been. My opinion.
