I knew this was coming. The Honolulu police department is sending out letters to medical patients that they must forfeit their weapons! This is a HUGE deal and will set a precedent. Report in Miami Herald, from Yahoo!

SCREAMING THEIR IGNORANCE...
Way to go, Hawaii...
Guns and cannabis are not an issue. Ignorance and politicians/law-enforcement are the issue. sigh

Hawaii has a particularly ignorant and corrupt government, and in this current environment, that's saying something. Sad.

Hopefully this gets challenged all the way to the supreme court, if necessary. I'm not sure how someone could arrive at the conclusion that people lose one of their constitutional rights when they ingest a certain plant. It's like telling someone they can no longer practice their religion since they drink Kratom tea. BTW I'm not religious at all, that's just an example.

Yes I think this will likely happen. These are patients taking a prescribed medication legally. How can this one medicine be singled out. They are testing this concept in a state where gun laws are already extremely unconstitutional. Very low gun ownership there so very few affected parties. This increases the chances of people letting it stand.

Whats a trip is while that is true, on my daily bike ride home as well as any other random day its not out of the question for me to see someone walking around with their hunting rifle. Hawaiians in general are not really bothered by guns, just our corrupt politicians aligned with the democratic view that guns are bad. I also abstain from religion and politics. I just want to live my life and not have someone bothering me with stupid laws...

Interesting that you would say that. I have lived on the Big Island off and on since I was 8. I have NEVER seen anyone open carry.

I don't mean walking around town with a rifle or anything, I just meant that I will see guys getting ready to hunt on the side of the road when I'm riding up saddle or even on my street and I live in Hilo.
I don't mean like having your side arm on your hip in a holster or anything. I have only lived here the last 3 years, but my friend here is really into guns so maybe its just the people I'm around. They all hunt and have dogs and such. It just seemed fairly common to me that they keep their tools in the trunk of their car. My buddy on Kauai pretty much always has his rifle in the back of his truck. I was just trying to point out that while our laws suck there are lots of people that actively use their guns as tools.
My coworker even wears a holster on his hip every day in protest that he can't carry his gun. I wouldn't call what I see as open carry though so I have probably never seen that as well. It just seems like in general people here aren't scared of guns like I've seen in other places. Members of my family won't even enter the house of someone who owns a gun, thats how many in California feel.

There is an active hunting culture there for sure. I hope someone fights this unconstitutional play by the corrupt cops.

Of course....pot smokers are well known to enter schools and post offices and shoot everyone up. Keep the guns away from them.
We need to make sure the guns stay in the hands of people who have been on pysch drugs for decades....society is safer that way.

Yes cannabis users are very dangerous.

This one really pisses me off so I really appreciate that you posted this on here. I feel like my rights have been violated. When I got my medical card it was told to me that this information is confidential. I don't own a gun but I really quite like them and I always planned on getting one or three.
Shooting guns is fun and we have a ton of pigs and goats to hunt. I can legally grow my cannabis and I should be able to legally own a gun. To me it seems all forms of government at this point are corrupt and as you pointed out Honolulu is no different.
Do you know if I could get in trouble if I try to get my fire arm license knowing I have my medical card? I just want to see if they are able to see that I have a card, per the law that is supposed to be confidential information...
Funny to come across your post as I was wondering if there would be anything about Hawaii on here.
