Concealed carry is
relatively not allowed for private citizens. "In
an exceptional case, when an applicant shows reason to
fear injury to the applicant's person or property," a
license to carry a pistol or revolver (which allows both
open and concealed carry) may be granted or denied at
the discretion of the county police chief.
In practice however very few concealed carry
licenses are granted, and issuance of carry permits is
normally limited to active or retired law enforcement
officers, security professionals and high-ranking
military members. As of July 2014 there were 183 active
Handgun Carry Licenses in Hawaii, out of a population of
1.4 million.
Permits are valid in the issuing county only.
Hawaii does not recognize concealed carry permits issued
by other states.
