Bill > SB3039

This bill, relating to firearms, proposes to amend Hawaii law to require individuals who have a license to carry a firearm to also carry an "electric gun" on their person. An electric gun, as defined in section 134-81 of Hawaii Revised Statutes, is a weapon that discharges electricity. The bill's stated purpose is to improve public safety by encouraging the carrying of non-lethal options alongside firearms, based on the legislature's finding that firearms alone can increase danger and escalate situations. Consequently, if a licensee is found to be carrying a firearm without also carrying an electric gun, their license to carry a firearm will be subject to revocation.
