Honolulu Police Department Responds to Request for Approved Firearm Instructors - Ammoland.com
“In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the Hawaiʻi Legislature made significant changes to our state’s firearms laws,” Hawaii Firearms Coalition noted Feb. 13. “Among those changes was a requirement that firearm instructors in Hawaiʻi be approved by the county police departments.”
“Shortly after the law took effect, the Honolulu Police Department implemented its instructor approval process,” the post continued. “For a brief period, a list of approved instructors appeared on HPD’s website. Then, without explanation, it disappeared.”
This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.”
HPD declined to provide a list, citing privacy concerns, the post elaborated. A formal request filed under the state’s Uniform Information Practices Act resulted in a list being shared, but “it was oddly redacted,” HFC claimed.
“Now, nearly two years later, we have requested the list again,” HFC announced, filing “another request under the Uniform Information Practices Act to obtain the current list of approved instructors.”
