Frequently Asked Questions

What is happening with Koko Head Shooting Complex?

According to recent news, the pistol and rifle range will reopen in April 2023. Please reach out to your representatives and/or Parks and Recreation with any further questions or concerns.

Can I conceal/open carry after the Bruen decision?

As of 7/11/22, the Hawaii AG's legal opinion is that police chiefs can no longer require applicants to "prove" they need to carry CCW. Hopefully the PD's will start to issue immediately.. Failure to do so will result in more lawsuits.

What do I need to apply for a CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) license?

Each county is different. Check with your local police department. Until Young v. Hawaii is decided and further legislation is passed there won’t be a streamlined process.

What training do I need to buy a handgun?

You either need a training affidavit from an NRA instructor or a Hunter Education card. In Hawaii you can participate in a Hunter Education Course with the DLNR. Training courses are usually over $100 while the Hunter Education Course is $25.
