Hawaii County Considering Bruen response bill

Bill 220 is structured like many of the Bruen response bills we have seen and fought, greatly increasing the number of “sensitive places” around the county and making criminals out of people just trying to defend themselves and exercise their rights. 

Specifically, Bill 220 would designate the following as “sensitive places:”

• Hospitals, medical facilities, medical offices and/or medical clinics, except where permission is granted by the administrator of the facility.
• Schools, colleges, universities and/or places where people are assembled for educational purposes, except where permission is granted by the institution.
• Day care centers, playgrounds and parks, except where permission is granted by the administrator of the facility.
• Churches or religious assemblies, except where permission is granted by the administrator of the church, facility or congregation.
• Voter service centers or places of deposit.
• Government buildings and the accompanying parking lots attached to such buildings, except when the licensed firearm is kept in the vehicle unloaded with an affixed trigger lock or in a locked case.
• Private property open to the public where it is conspicuously posted that public carry of firearms is not allowed.
• Public transit facilities and public transit vehicles.
• Bars, restaurants and establishments that serve intoxicating beverages.
