Senate Bill 433 is the Aloha State's latest swing at restricting your right to carry anything sharper than a butter knife or heavier than a pineapple. This gem prohibits open and concealed carry of dirks, daggers, blackjacks, metal knuckles, bladed weapons, batons, cudgels, truncheons, police batons, collapsible batons, billy clubs, or nightsticks. Nothing says "public safety" like turning a pocket knife into a felony enhancer.

By mandating written notices upon initial contact, HB312 reduces the risk of abuse in the system, prevents coercive tactics, and upholds the non-aggression principle. No one, especially not the state, should initiate force, fraud, or coercion against peaceful individuals and families.
