Governor Josh Brown (D) signed the legislation on Friday, which forbids people from carrying their guns to various public places, including beaches, hospitals, stadiums, bars that serve alcohol, and movie theaters. However, private businesses may allow their customers to conceal carry if they post the proper sign informing the customers that it is allowed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOn many occasions in my training back on the mainland, I was one of the physicians that took care of individuals who were victims of gun violence,&#8221; Green said before signing the measure into law. &#8220;Not only that, I lost a loved one to a suicide with a gun. And so anything that we can do, we should.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Senator Josh Green has been an advocate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-judiciary-chairman-says-gun-control-is-top-priority\/\" title=\"Senate Judiciary Chairman Says Gun Control Is \u2018Top Priority\u2019\">reducing gun violence<\/a>, describing it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">public health crisis<\/a> and saying action should be taken to address it. This latest expansion on concealed carry comes after a Supreme Court ruling last year expanded gun rights for citizens, with the court saying U.S. residents have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. Prior to the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling, Hawaii allowed county police chiefs to determine whether or not to issue gun owners a permit to carry, though these permits were barely issued.<\/p>\n<h3>Reducing Gun Violence<\/h3>\n<p>Senator Green&#8217;s efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/march-for-our-lives-issue-biden-1-billion-list-of-gun-control-policy-demands\/\" title=\"March For Our Lives Issue Biden  Billion List Of Gun Control Policy Demands\">reduce gun violence<\/a> are commendable. He recognizes that gun violence is a public health crisis and that action needs to be taken to address it. Hawaii&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hawaii-expands-concealed-carry-paired-with-bans-on-guns-in-public-places\/\" title=\"Hawaii allows more concealed carry but prohibits guns in public areas.\">low gun death rate<\/a> is a testament to the effectiveness of their gun laws. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Hawaii had the second-lowest gun death rate in the U.S. last year, trailing only Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>While Hawaii has expanded concealed carry, it has also taken steps to ensure public safety by prohibiting guns in certain public places. Senator Green&#8217;s efforts to reduce gun violence are a step in the right direction, and Hawaii&#8217;s low gun death rate is proof that their gun laws are effective.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Private businesses may allow concealed carry with proper signage<\/li>\n<li>Senator Green advocates for reducing gun violence<\/li>\n<li>Hawaii has the second-lowest gun death rate in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The governor of Hawaii, Josh Brown, has signed a bill expanding concealed carry, but also prohibiting firearms in public places such as beaches, hospitals, stadiums, bars serving alcohol, and movie theaters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1943559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[11011,13402,15194,4204,10364,11132,3799],"class_list":["post-1943558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-areas","tag-carry","tag-concealed","tag-guns","tag-hawaii","tag-prohibits","tag-public"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1943558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1943558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1943558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1943559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1943558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1943558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1943558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
