Hawaii should have stand your ground law, get rid of gun permit and background checks.
💯
It's a human right to be able to defend yourself.
Governor Green dumbing down Hawaii One day at a time
What is Green smoking?
😂
Only you getting dumber.
Someone was forced to legalize it
Tell that to the people getting Robbed at Gunpoint and can't do nothing cause they don't have anything to protect them!
Who else thinks this should only be for the good citizens.
How do you define a good citizen?
@@anonymous-zn2iv You know... No felony record and stable minded person.
@@kawikadee9670 Those two traits don't usually result in carrying a weapon in public unless they are police.
@@anonymous-zn2iv Well that's my opinion and others might agree.
@@anonymous-zn2iv Incorrect.
I have been carrying a defensive weapon in Hawaii for YEARS (legally), luckily, I have never had to use it.
Has Hawaii lost its collective mind????
I'm losing my mind reading your comment.
Nope just you
I think I lost braincell reading trash comment, you forget what country this is😂.
@@BeyondParadise808 because you have a room temperature IQ
It’s the system…not the people of Hawaii…big difference
Thanks for your campaign donation, NRA.
For all of you that "liked" this comment, he was being facetious . And the NRA didn't donate ANYTHING to this change.
Wtf
Banned or not banned. It's not like these inanimate objects have a mind of their own. And this pertains to firearms also. All of these things are not dangerous. Humans are. And the most dangerous are the ones making laws at the state capitol aka the swamp.
So they passed a law that allows you to open carry and you are still b****hing. Typical MAGA troll.
Firearms should never be banned, guns are good we need them but they should only be for the good citizens.
Not dangerous? You ever grabbed a sharp knife by the wrong end?
america has influenced (like the cartel they are) the islands and so much disparity has come of it what and sketchy and drugged out of their minds locals and others already on the loose running around. Now adding ammunition to the mix, plus plenty of these disturbed minds......great combination. Anybody can get weapons we know this fact. Timebombs as in "humans" all over these islands. Unreal.
Let's see now how the statistics in 2024 become of more violence riseing...more different techniques with weapons that before now were not common.
@@anonymous-zn2iv That is YOUR stupidity. Without your (or other people's) stupidity/evil, they are harmless. Go after those that cause harm!
Why did the governor pass such a law. How is going to protect the ones don’t that don’t carry any dangerous weapons.
I was and raised in Hawaii and there was trouble where I grew up. My cousin told me that Hawaii was changing but it doesn’t seem for the good. I’m so glad that I didn’t vote for that stupid governor that’s in office now. Makes me think twice before coming back home to Hawaii.
Green is an Emergency doctor. He didn’t want to pass this law, doesn’t want more guns or weapons. . He had to comply because of the Supreme Court rulings. Do your research. He is trying to stop more guns by requiring a gun permit.
Why? Because he is as crazy as the many crazies carrying weapons. Too many good ol boys with weapons cause they are not anatomically built
So does that mean I can run around with a samurai sword?
Yes
yep
Yup.....so now deranged and drugged outta their minds tweekers can now remove the samurai from tutu's wall and go on a rampage. When maybe yuh before now no weapon was available. Pilau
@@river4462tweakers been doing that even before this law! At least now law abiding citizens can protect themselves!
@@poiboi808 How will you know that guy standing next to you in line carrying a butterfly knife or katana is a law abiding citizen?
That's nuts. Not voting for Green again.
He had no choice. The Supreme Court ruled to legalize weapons so he at least made it open carry. This is a result of the over zealous response to the second amendment and the power of the NRA.
Lol. Awwwwww.
@@happylivinginparadise9151this is great news for law abiding citizens. Levels the playing field. It’s just dumb that it must be open carry
@@alaefarmestatesllc i do not support either option but I would rather have open carry so we can see where the threat is rather than concealed where you do not know who is carrying. I don’t believe more guns will keep us safer and I especially don’t believe it is safer for our schools.
You should have voted for Trump and Aiona.
I'm sure if you stab someone in self-defense, YOU are the one going to jail, In Hawai'i.
The laws are very poorly written here.
So, while you might not lose your life, you'll spend it behind bars.
😂 Silly MAGA, it's your team that brought this upon yourselves. Yet here you are complaining. Typical
Just need to get rid of the “no stand ur ground law” bs and all is well.
@@agent00soul48 I'm not complaining about this law, but it needs to be paired with further protections.
People are stabbing each other all the time on O'ahu. Blaming the knife is just dumb.
MACA!
What's this? Is Governor Green a closet righty?
Let's hope so
Yah seems like an odd move for him. Hard to believe he thinks its ok to carry around butterfly knives and spears out in public. So I guess a person can walk around with a katana without the police stopping you or somebody calling the cops.
who woulda thought
Trump 2024!
🤞
What’s next? The purge?
Next? The purge is already happening!in Maui The locals are purging other locals of their private properties”(with the blessing of Green)that paid the most taxes…..
Upside down world 🌍
The goobernor had nothing to do with it. He saw that he had no choice. It's about time. Uneducated people will not like it, but it's now the law. All the people now have the right to protect themselves. Those who CHOOSE NOT to, and are attacked, have no one to blame but themselves. With crime at a all time high, despite what the cops/media/gooberment say, it's only reasonable for people to have the right tools, to able to protect themselves, and their loved ones. Unlike "special" people, who have protection and the best tools at their disposal, we commoners now have the same rights they have given themselves. Once the criminals realize that the people, now have the tools needed to protect themselves, they will understand that we are no longer just sheep. Maybe aloha still has a chance to make a comeback from the grave.
Like we don’t have enough crime in this slack justice state?
There is crime in every state, although crime numbers are down across the board. It was Republicans that pushed for more lax gun laws. Green and our AG tried to mitigate the fallout but it was a Supreme Court ruling that sunk us. Green had no choice but to comply with that ruling, that was the opinion of the AG’s office.
No one is ever happy with how violent or repeat criminals are handled. How many, many times do we hear of criminals being released or found not guilty on a technicality or lack of evidence, subsequently going out to commit more crimes in mainland states (red and blue). So it’s not more lax here than any other state. Everyone has rights, even criminals. That’s rooted in the law of the land. Lucky we live Hawaiʻi. Lucky we codified abortion rights here so our wahine maintain that choice, so Hawaiʻi is a great place for us to live. It’s always an option to move to a place that is more in line with your political views.
Now we going have way less crime. You think the crooks are going to want to rob you now?
How dumb can this legislators be to send it to the governor 🙄
I know, it should only be for the good citizens.
How dumb? Who's dumb? It's the voters who keep reelecting them, that's who's"dumb"
Almost all of my coworkers and most of the people working in the trades have been carrying knives both "open" and "concealed" for years. My dad often carried one and he wouldn't hurt a fly. Knives are tools.
If you are experiencing disruptive fear regarding this issue, it may be helpful to research cause of death statistics for Hawaii.
So knives , medieval weapons, axes etc
Are legal, legislature should get rid of gun backgrounds check and gun permit. Then make the criminals really think twice.
Or let the criminals come after us.
@@BobbyHo2022 They are anyway.
What is stopping them?
Laws?
Try wait bra, is already against da law to keel someone.
what the heck is going on with hawaii
It's called 'THE RIGHT TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN PUBLIC AND THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS." It's an American right you know. Welcome to America!
Nothing. This is glorious for law abiding citizens. Levels the playing field
Too many Americans are moving here and we’re having to find ways to stay safe against them.
Stab city here we come
I can now carry my wizard staff and cast spells now 😂😂😂
you could always carry that.
I’m with you Harry
Crap now I have to carry my ccw everywhere because the criminals might be carrying a spear.
So now idiots can carry axes and swords and machetes in our public parks.
What could possibly go wrong?
This is good because Criminals now have to think 5x of that Axe dude trying to stop them
Lol. Think twice, or three times if they want to rob a Samoan wielding a spear. Lol.
But how will you know that guy carrying a spear isn't a crazy killer or will snap if he thinks you slighted him and chop your hands off?
To be honest, they don't know about new laws. They are out stealing and getting high.
"this law was rushed to prevent loosing a different Second Amendment case in the courts now"
There is the answer to (what we can all agree on ) stupid laws.
Caused by idiot lawmakers.
(eh, i no finish 12 grade, but i tell you what do do..."
Open carry brass knuckles, butterflies, and switch blade knives... interesting.
Yes you can but you have to have it seen on your belt I guess.
@kawikadee9670 The brass knuckles are about to become a fashion statement.
So open carry ok but not conceal carry? Most people carry stuff in their pockets. If open carry is ok then concealed should be ok as well.
Out of all the things our governor could approve to actually benefit our state? He chooses to make weapons legal to carry in public? 🙄 wtf is this world turning into? Bunch of clowns 🤡 running this government.
So if I’m walking with a knife in my pocket it’s a felony wtf
No weed legal but this ok lol
what about ccw can carry in most places NOW or still plenty restricted area's
I saw couple mental illness homeless guys curing it long knife, walking around in Waikiki area it’s terrifying to see that.
You should’ve called 911!
Brah! I goin' bus out my ninja stars....I got from the swap meet in the 80's💪 And my nunchucks....baby❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

RIP tourism industry 🤣🤣🤣
Not really, mainland is way worst.
@@kawikadee9670
True, but not all of our tourists are from America.
Japanese people are very timid, so area lot of foreigners. I think this could negatively affect international tourism & I’d MUCH rather have them than Americans, Americans are the kind of tourists everyone complains about.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom Everyone should walk around with a koa spear or leiomano and wear a malo so the tourist can see the old Hawaii. Would that be better?
@@kawikadee9670
I don’t see how that would make international tourists feel safe OR how your comment is even relevant to mine.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I guess it went over your head.
Good people thank you now you have great security
Can I carry my Samurai Sword out in Public Now??
WTH???!
All by design.
Eh, how's the surf hehe.
hawaii government should Be worried about how our people Are gonna live if People are out here Carrying Axes Machetes Knives and others, They should be worried how others are gonna go home and just see a group of people On the sidewalks with sharp weapons, It is dangerous if you see Some crazy people just swinging around their Weapons. I speak on behalf of the hawaii community That we disagree On this law. I prefer if we all just walk around with our hands Not weapons
What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
If we only had the resources to HELP people make good choices perhaps this wouldn't be soo alarming!
That clown with the axe is smoking the good stuff!!
As long as that 7 eleven swordsman is calm and gentlemanly it's all good. But if not, no can say shaka anymore brah. Just saying...
I was thinking the same..... lol I
7-11 swordsman
That’s perfect
711 guy was cool, it was the other guy that was a prick. The trouble maker wants to play victim now because he can't play with little jr now.
@@kawikadee9670 Yep. He could have had a hoppy day too. Just saying..
With the way politics always end up going, Oahu should be reclassified to the worlds largest circus freakshow
Politics are a mess everywhere.
Omg! Today's kids will actually get to relive a 70's street fight! We went from guns to switchblades, butterfly knives, chains, nunchucks, baseball bats, ninja stars and chains! And I thought the modern day western shootout was bad! We going from Matt Dillon to The Fonse by Monday! What's next! Spears, Crossbows, Compound Bows & Arrows, Swords, Maces and Axes? Only a matter of time of time before street gangs dressed as Lords Of The Rings characters start holding up the local 7-Elevens....
If that happens and you need help, and the cops can't get to you in time, I hope a good Samaritan in Hawai'i will protect you and your family with a legally concealed firearm.
Jets vs Sharks
Yay.
You are an idiot.
It is not the gun or the switch blade or the nun-chuck or the satrs that need to be restricted, it is the BAD person.
Lock them up.
If the crime is bad enough, _______ them, can't say it here, I' ll get banned (capital punishment). In the past punishments were public, to humilate or to use as an example (ie: don't do what this fool did).
It worked.
You can conceal also
This won't sit well with most people. Seeing people carrying dangerous weapons while you are out and about? There is going to be backlash.
Thank the U.S. Supreme Court.
@@agent00soul48
The SCOTUS simply applies the Constitution of the United States.
If you don't like the ruling, then "thank" the Constitution.
@@gregcarter8656 They simply "interpret" the constitution. Yeah, I see what's going on.
Ridiculous, what can go wrong with this.
theres more good people than bad people. this is a good thing.
Who cares. This levels the playing field. U think criminals follow laws? No. So all this time they been carrying while law abiding citizens been getting robbed. Now criminals don’t have free reign
What could go wrong? You mean being given the ability to defend yourself and openly carrying your defenses is a wrong thing? I need to taste your sheltered life. Must be good sitting in bliss not worrying about being attacked by violent criminals.
@@kobragangbit yuh well MANY good people do not carry guns or swords. Or whatever weapons. There will be weapons brought out specifically "those" not permitted. This is going to open so many avenues (for the worse)no one has even considered. Give plenty idiots an inch they go miles and miles this will get so out of control and when it does the ignorant officials will walk away.
What’s going to stop a crazy person openly carrying an ax from hitting someone on the street? Oh wait another guy openly carrying a bigger ax.
What is the difference between that and a rock?
Is it illegal to carry a rock?
What about a stick?
How about a hammer?
A screwdriver??
They are ALL lethal weapons if used offensively.
Some people's hands are lethal weapons!
Should we outlaw hands??
NO!
It is how they are USED!
Prosecute the criminals!
The HPD will surely have their hands full, no more "down time".
Wow, Hawaii is a heavily liberal state too🙂
Da fawk is going on?
Yay i can carry my flamethrower that I bought from gucci
As long as you act responsibly with it, yes.
Act like an idiot with it, get taken down.
As it should be.
Ludicrous..our lawmakers did not think about majority of our people, who I'm sure would disapprove.
Speechless
Why.
So if we walk into this attorneys office w pitch forks he is gonna be ok w it?
As long as you’re not threatening anyone.
It's a good thing our Govenor is a Doctor because we're going to have alot more patient's.
What could possibly go wrong?
Imagine a would be thief walking down the road looking for a target. Doubt hes gonna go after a dude with a halberd
Wait, so u saying ppl can bring a loaded AR & walk around walmart with no reason? Imma get myself licensed to carry 😀 lets go my Polynesian Black Latino Asian people! Mount up Boyz
Dont bring a knife to a gunfight
This new law still will not make it possible to compete with the deaths per year due to overdoses. It’s not the weapon you can clearly see that should make your nervous or scared, it’s the ones you do not see.
Weird law
Totally confused by this report. But it doesn’t sound as though I’ll feel safer when I come to Kauai in august.
This is just crazy what in the world is the governor thinking. Now we are going to have a lot of crazies walking around with all kind of weapons. What are us innocent people going to do to feel safe. Anything for the almighty dollar! I worry for the seniors and we are already running short with police coverage. All right Governor Green lets have one of your on the air discussions on why you let this asinine law pass.
Like the paramedics didn’t have enough to worry about already
It’s compliance with the SCOTUS ruling. He is an ER doctor. He didn’t want this.
Awesome, I can carry whatever I want now 🤙🏾
Feels like a GTA game now.
Complete lunacy! Our beautiful Hawaii is NOT a place to play around with weapons!
Green was forced to comply because of over zealous gun enthusiasts, the NRA and the Supreme Court ruling. The 2nd amendment has ,been purposely misinterpreted and here we are. The Gov, AG and the police chiefs NEVER wanted lax gun laws, never wanted open or concealed carry.
Really...only so many places to take cover...wtfwtfwtf
lmao you people on the left cant live in my state of Kansas...you would go nuts... Softies
Right on!
GTA6 - Maui Vice
In stores, now.
As a US citizen its your Right to own and carry a firearm. Its not a privilege that the gov gets to dictate. Know the difference and excercise those rights.
What a great idea..
Wait. Open carry of a pistol 🔫 is now legal? Am I hearing that right?
No. It only pertains to non-firearms. For example, a spear or num-chuks or katana would be legal to open carry.
@@BeyondParadise808where’s it say that? Firearms have always been considered dangerous weapons by our government. Now it’s not but knives are? That would be stupid.
That's what I'm hearing too. Open Carry State for firearms(aka dangerous weapon).
@@shinnidan same. Tomorrow we will find out more. Better be for guns also. Would only make sense. Cuz if guns are no longer being pushed as “dangerous weapons” then I should be able to carry it everywhere legally lol
@@alaefarmestatesllc should be cause when I go to places like Nevada I open carry my firearms all the time. 😄
Katana ok?
Of course just have it in full view.
wtf you got to be kidding me
Governor Green has COMMON SENSE. Trust me, Hawaii will be safer.. trust me
can finally samauri cosplay with a real katana
I don't get it. Why? For what? For whom? This state is ssa backwards.
Ah yes. The sheltered life. Ignorance is bliss.
It's so that the neighborhood watch can take back their neighborhood on the westside.
Well, criminals are concealing weapons illegally, wouldn’t you want the ability to carry something to defend yourself from them?
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I already do, but it isn’t for show.

Im going to try to ignore how cringe your comment was 👀😳🤭..…. not everyone is comfortable carrying 🔥arms _(excuse the attempt at subterfuge in disguising the word, it’s an attempt at avoiding a flag/deletion of my comment)_ & the world doesn’t revolve around you, they didn’t write the law for you specifically.
Dumb
Double edged sword for real.
I like what you did there!
is there. a age limit? So can Kids and teens open carry Knives and Machetes now?
If I have a switch knife in my pocket for personal and decide to use it for self defense…. am I committing a crime?
Sorry Bro, that’s just a sharpened shovel. I can see a guy carrying a medieval weapon and run away. Concealed weapons good luck.
Sounds wacked.
Whats the whole story?
$$$$$$&&$$&&&
Graft
@@MrBothandNetherHow, please explain in detail.
Think about it. It’s going to be inconvenient and maybe uncomfortable to open carry weapons. You can’t put it in your pocket or hide it under your seat so MAYBE , JUST MAYBE it will discourage some from carrying, period.
… (looks up current price of a full size buster sword)…. But seriously though this is insane.
This is insane. I love it!
You can get a sword for cheap.
What?????
Governor is Diverting Lahaina his fyck up!!
The actual goal may not be openly carrying dangerous weaponry, but possibly dissuading rescue as everyone can be treated as A&D and unsafe to approach.
Rescue from what? Ignorance? Not like that kind of situation hasn't happened before. If that occurs, HPD will make it approachable for first responders to come in after them. That is how it has been done for decades.
I'm ALL for this, but maybe there should be a length requirement, possibly 8" max.?
MAYBE Machetes and Katana's should be the equivalent of a fully automatic firearm.
a 4" knife is as deadly as a sword... (you just have to get closer...)
Machetes are a common sight when people are landscaping, doing yardwork, etc.
@@Milfordbeach Probably not in Waikiki or Ala Moana though.
@@pinoygal6232 👍
The WEAPON isn’t what is dangerous. The HUMAN using it, IS. SO SICK OF THE IGNORANT STATEMENTS TO KEEP ALL ENSLAVED
Finally can walk around with my samurai sword 😁
This stems from the arrest of a florida man in HI arrested for open carrying his firearm. HI violated his 2nd Amendment and he won a big lawsuit.
Bullshit.
The Supreme Court (that decides if a law is Constitutional - Their ONLY focus) has NOT said that anyone can carry anything anywhere. They HAVE said that many firearm laws (that restrict lawful Citizens) are contrary to the Constitution.
So…does this mean if you jaywalk with a legally, licensed concealed carry firearm, you can get a felony charge now? But good thing I can carry a javelin in public…? I mean congratulations for the cosplay guys but wtf this makes having a legally concealed firearm a minefield.
Ohhhhhh well, jus added more carrying objects to urself, wat a dreaded life of having objects on a person walking around
Thank you sir
Mind boggling. A policeman will allow people wielding weapons to go right past them and won't do anything, UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT, INCLUDING THE OFFICER!
DON'T deter crimes, let them happen FIRST! Protect the criminal's rights and lives before the unarmed citizens, thats how you mitigate crime in Hawaii, right?
Now i wanna carry daggers hell yeah
"Dangerous weapons" lmao
The BALISONG IS LEGAL 👍
So my firearms? All legal to open carry now?
Also I’m all for this new law. Levels the playing field. Criminals no longer have free reign over most. Use this law to ur full advantage and carry ur knives everywhere possible. Hopefully they pass this for guns also. This is great. And anyone saying it’s not, go live mainland, California or new york
It doesn't pertain to firearms. You can open carry a sword like a katana for example.
@@BeyondParadise808where’s it say that? Guns in Hawaii has always been pushed as a “dangerous weapon”. Are they saying it isn’t a dangerous weapon now? And if it’s no longer a dangerous weapon, then it should be allowed in public, out in the open.
No you need to get ccw training.
@@kawikadee9670 already did that.
@@alaefarmestatesllc That's good. If you haven't already you go to hpd and apply and if you have you ccw you have to conceal it.
Wait so no one will bat an eye if someone walks around with a kitchen knife, axe, machete, ice pick, claw hammer etc etc in hand because they aren't "WEAPONS" but if someone has those other things then they will freak out??? Lol make it make sense people! 😅😅😅
