Nothing. Literally. It's exactly the same as it's always been. Never issued an open carry license to anyone but security guards. Never issued a concealed carry license to anyone since 2000 except for the judge and military member and the two "lost" licensees.
The one person I know of who applied for open carry after the AG "opinion" was denied, ostensibly because he failed to provide sufficient evidence "that he or she has a need for protection that substantially exceeds that held by ordinary law-abiding citizens".
So, to summarize, no "ordinary citizen" in Hawaii has, as far as we know, EVER been granted a license to lawfully exercise their right to bear arms outside their home or business. That won't change until there is some kind of precisely-worded inescapable ruling from a court requiring the legislature and police departments to recognize the rights of ordinary citizens. Don't hold your breath.
