Apparently they pretty much leave you alone as long as you're not hitting on the local girls.

been to HI over 150 times, have yet to have anything even approaching trouble, much less the need for a gat

Boosie. Just giving you my honest advice. I go to Kauai every other summer and know the place top to bottom. There is absolutely no need for a gun in Kauai. The locals you will be in contact with all work in the restaurants, shops, stores etc. and they pander to tourists very well. They know who butters their bread. It is paradise man! Just chill and enjoy so e of the most beautiful scenery on earth.

The only place I have ever felt remotely uncomfortable on Kauai is when I was sightseeing (cruising around in a converable) up on Olehana Rd. In Kapa'a Town. Most locals communities are located up in the hills about 3-5 miles inland from the coastal Hwy.. Olehana Rd. Starts in Kapa'a Town and goes north into the hills where all the S/Ds are located. If you go up that way....just stay on Olehana Rd.. The countryside is beautiful up there. Just avoid turning into any of the communities along that road. The locals up there will yell obscenities at you just for driving into their communities. Never gave them the chance to physically threaten me because I never exited my vehicle.

But if you are only going for a week, you probably won't even drive up there to begin with. We only did on our 5th trip there just to kill some time one afternoon. Even if you do, you certainly won't need a gun unless you or Heather have intentions on starting trouble.

Leave the gun my man. I would pack going to Seaside, Fl before Kauai.
