- 2Appeals court upholds Hawaii gun permit rules▼Appeals court backs Hawaii’s gun permit window, inspection mandate
A federal appeals court has sided with Hawaii's requirement that gun permit applicants complete the process within a set window and submit to inspection mandates. The ruling keeps in place provisions that gun rights advocates have challenged as burdensome, while state officials argue they are necessary for public safety.
