So to begin with the law that’s being challenged here was a Hawaii law that applies to individuals who have already been approved … to have concealed carry permits. They’ve already been approved. They’ve gone through the background checks. They’ve gone through the fingerprinting … They’ve gone through the whole process and been approved to conceal carry a handgun in the state of Hawaii. And after they approved to carry a gun in Hawaii, there’s two additional two additional steps that must be taken before they can buy a handgun. The first step is that they have to get a permit to purchase form. And once they get that permit to purchase form in their hands, they only have 30 days to go out and buy the handgun with that permit to purchase form. And if that permit to purchase form goes more than 30 days from the date it’s issued by Hawaii, then that permit to purchase form is void. It is expired and no good, which means you could have to go back and go get another purchase to permit form to acquire a handgun under these various restrictions. The other critical thing that they challenge, the other part of Hawaii law they challenge is once you acquire the handgun with this permit to purchase, now you go out, you buy the gun, you get the gun, you take it in your possession, you then under Hawaii law have five days, that’s right, just five days to stake your newly acquired handgun and walk it down to the police department and have them inspect it.

It’s not that the majority en banc traitors on the Ninth Circuit who ruled this Constitutional don’t know they’re being evil. They’re just confident that imposing their will against the freedoms of their countrymen will never blow back on them personally.
