 Hawaii –  Things in Hawaii are different than all other states. Permits are issued by county and only valid in that county. That county can also make ordinances concerning issuing  even making a list of what they call Sensitive Places as Off Limits. Well Honolulu which includes the Island of Oʻahu has passed Bill  57 (Effective May 1, 2023) which lists places that will be off limits to those with a Permit to Carry issued by Honolulu. The Mayor has stated he will sign it.  The State is also working on a listing of places it wants off limits to those who carry.

You can read the State of Hawaii HB 984 that has not passed yet but this bill if passed would apply to all of Hawaii. It has numerous places listed as so called Sensitive Places!     https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=984&year=2023
