LRC: Patriots Day
-Jim O'Keefe
...After nearly forty years removal from my home state, it has been quite some time since I’d thought of Patriots Day, truth be told. It’s not an official holiday of any kind here. The daily routine of life and business tunes out many of the old pleasures and memories.
Then I found myself today, the 19th of April, 2006, at the Hawaii County Police Department, filling out the firearms permit application, to renew my long gun permit. In effect, to ask for permission to be able to purchase firearms – only long guns, and only after a two-week wait for the permit to return, and only during the twelve-month period for which the permit is valid. Pistol permits are even more restricted, limited to one specific firearm for only a ten-day period subsequent to a two-week wait.
Full Story.
