Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2018

RE:   H.C.R. No. 37

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 37 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION OF HAWAII AND THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO OPPOSE "CONCEALED CARRY RECIPROCITY" LEGISLATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the congressional delegation of Hawaii and the United States Congress to oppose "concealed carry reciprocity" legislation which would force the State to accede to other jurisdictions' lax or non-existent limits on who may lawfully possess and carry a gun and the conditions under which they may do so.  

The City and County of Honolulu Police Department, Hawaii Youth Services Network, and three individuals testified in support of this measure.  The National Rifle Association of America and eight individuals testified in opposition to this measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 37 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
