And you would get access to a weapon in Hawaii how?
There are many ways. Most illegal.
Also depends on what is handy and available. Practically anything can be turned into a weapon when your life is on the line.
It’s hard enough to have weapons behind enemy lines here in Southern CA, and I wouldn’t be here if it was as draconian as Hawaii.
You’d be surprised on how many Californians actually are armed, and heavily. Automatic weapons may not be easily “owned”, but that doesn’t stop Americans from possessing them regardless of the “authorities”.
