OK. What are your CC laws now? Do you have OC?
Carry of any kind is illegal unless you have a permit. And Hawaii is a "may issue" state. Or as we like to say here, "may-not issue".

Only one permit was ever issued for personal reasons in 2006, from the Maui Chief. ALL OTHER permits are issued for work related reasons....security, armored car personnel, etc.
From 2006....

"In the last 15 years, no law abiding citizen applying for a permit to carry a concealed firearm in Honolulu has been granted one -- not one domestic violence victim, not one person whose life was in danger, not one person working where they may be robbed at gunpoint.
And the police chief has no plans to change that under Hawaii’s current law, which says the police department’s highest officer "may issue" a concealed carry permit should he choose to do so.
That’s according to Honolulu Police Department Captain Raymond Ancheta, who testified at the Senate Intergovernmental Affairs Committee hearing Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2006, in opposition to SB 2531, which changes Hawaii’s law to read "shall issue" and become the nation’s 39th state to allow concealed carry of a firearm.
The bill and two others that would further the Second Amendment rights of Hawaii citizens, including retired police officers and law abiding citizens in the aftermath of a disaster, were
opposed by the Honolulu police, the Honolulu City Prosecutor and the state attorney general.
Spokespeople for these government agencies said they did not trust the people to aim correctly under a stressful situation where they might use a firearm to protect themselves, potentially endangering others nearby. Lori Nishimura of the City Prosecutors office, said she had a
"feeling" and she "believed" that
allowing citizens to protect themselves with firearms would not be good for the rest of Hawaii’s citizens, though she could not cite any studies or evidence under questioning to support her statements. "
Hawaii is one of only SIX STATES that REQUIRE registration. Hell, even getting a gun in Hawaii is crazy....

This is what Hawaii has had to battle, and lost,for a long time.
