Rules every Hawaii license follows

• Who decides: Your county's police chief has to issue the license if you meet the law's requirements: 21 or older, a Hawaiʻi resident, a citizen, national or permanent resident, allowed to own guns, and not found to lack the character or temperament to carry. The license is good on every island. (HRS § 134-9(a))
• Why counties differ: The law sets the requirements and leaves the paperwork to each chief. That one line is why one county takes only cash and the next takes none, why Maui takes applications online while Kauaʻi wants you at the window, and why Maui and Honolulu set their own minimum class lengths. (HRS § 134-9(o))
• The fee: Every county charges $150 to apply, and the chief has to waive it if you show financial hardship. Maui, Hawaiʻi County and Kauaʻi charge $50 to renew. (HRS § 134-9(i))
• Training: The course has to be in person and cover safety, handling, storage, transporting guns, where you can't carry, shooting in low light, conflict management and self-defense law, plus a section on mental health. You pass a written exam with at least 70% and shoot every gun you want on the license. Each county decides which instructors count. (HRS § 134-9(e)(5))
• Only guns registered to you: The license lists specific guns, and each one has to be registered to you in Hawaiʻi first, which means getting a permit to acquire before you buy it. You can carry only one at a time. (HRS § 134-9(d)(2))
• How long it lasts: A license lasts four years, then you renew it. (HRS § 134-9(m))
