Aloha,
Once again we are humbly asking for your help in pushing back against Act 52 (SB1230) that was enacted into law last month. This egregious law makes it illegal for lawful gun owners who have obtained a concealed carry license from carrying their lawful firearm almost everywhere outside their home! Your fellow Hawaiian Citizens have sued the state and are now facing an uphill battle- the State has hired DC attorneys to defend this unconstitutional law in court. We need your continued support to pay for historians, documents, affidavits, and the mountain of legal costs to come. The fact the State of Hawaii hired these big shots is proof they are scared we can win. Please donate what you can.

I don't have much to give right now given I've got medical & home issues Im dealing with. That said, I'm a firm believer in that we dont get to pick & choose where threats to our lives occur & unless the place is providing armed security (not just a guy with a maglight) they have no business dictating where your 2A rights begin & end. Go get'em, I hope SCOTUS rules in our favor, it will help NJ!

SUPREME COURT BOUND!!!!
April 1st, 2025
Today Attorneys Alan Beck and Kevin O'Grady filed the cert petition with the US Supreme Court! This means SCOTUS will review and examine the case with a better than average chance of hearing the case! Given the shenanigans that happened at the Ninth Circuit we are hopeful for review and a hearing!
Mahalo for your support! We would not have gotten this far without you! IMUA!

Aloha!
As you may have heard our petition for the Ninth Circuit to rehear the case en banc was denied. Yes, this is a step backward but it was not unexpected given the Ninth Circuit's record on 2a cases. Here is where the silver lining is.
Mr Alan Beck was granted a stay in the injunction against the enforcement of the sensitive places law until our next peitition is granted a hearing or denied. This means CCW holders can still carry in the places protected under the injunction ruling!
But where does the case go from here, you may ask?
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Yes, you read that right! We have only made it here because of each and everyone of you and the hard earned dollars you so generously donated. I am asking for you to please spread the word! Anyone who has a concealed carry license in Hawaii or even owns a gun is in this fight! We need everyone now more than ever! Please give what you can. All the money goes to the fighting the good fight- paying for legal fees, experts, plane tickets, etc. And it is NOT cheap!
Mahalo nui loa to each and every one of you.
IMUA!

HUGE NEWS!!! STATE SENSITIVE PLACES LAW VICTORY ALSO KILLS MOST OF ACT 52 (HONOLULU)
November 2nd, 2023
Aloha,
I wanted to thank all of you who have donated and made today possible. While it is not yet permanent, the injunction won by our attorneys Alan Beck and Kevin OGrady is now having an impact beyond what we expected. City and County of Honolulu is now stating on their website that the injunction is being applied to ACT 52. With that said, this is not legal advise where you can now legally carry concealed. Go check out the Hawaii Firearms Coalition pages on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

This victory is because of you! Please share the victory with those you know in the gun community. Let's get the word out that we can and are winning here in Hawaii.
Mahalo,
Jon
