Per the USSC's order list. Remanded in light of Bruen. Curious how long the 9CA will sit on this.

20-1639 YOUNG, GEORGE K. V. HAWAII, ET AL.

21-1194   DUNCAN, VIRGINIA, ET AL. V. BONTA, ATT'Y GEN. OF CA The petitions for writs of certiorari are granted.  The judgments are vacated, and the cases are remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U. S. ___ (2022).

So I finally decided to try and renew my long arm permit, even set my alarm for 12PM exactly to get on the website when it refreshes daily. Hopped on and got a 10AM time slot for May 12th. Between me selecting the time slot and filling out the information, the time slot disappeared / was taken by someone else. What a joke of a system.

Any updates on when/if this system will return to the pre-covid walk-in system?

Does anyone know of a local gunsmith that can properly install a side rail on stamped AK receiver? I bought a side rail for my SLR-106 and will need to have three rivets removed for the installation. I have the necessary three replacement rivets. I contacted one of the retailers on the forum (who will remain nameless) and never got a straight answer as to whether or not they do this type of work.

Submitted my information yesterday in order to save time today when I went downtown to register, they still make you fill out the hardcopy registration form. No time saved, and I forgot to bring in one of my pre-filled out reg forms. 

Supposedly the online system will allow you to see a listing if your firearms, but I don't think it's functional. Yay inefficiency!

So a friend of mine won the auction for a local storage locker and found several pistols and long arms inside. Her husband called HPD today before heading down there to see what he needs to do to re-register the firearms (he's already on his way) and HPD apparently told him that they will confiscate the firearms since "they aren't allowed to keep them." My friend doesn't own firearms already, so any longarm/pistol permits needed would be for the first time. As you can understand, they are a bit worried, they were planning on selling them once they got them registered in their names.

Is HPD allowed to just confiscate these firearms absent a codified reason? My friend won the storage locker in an auction, and has receipts for that. I realize this is likely too little, too late, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion.

I can't remember if Kokohead is open on C&C holidays only or Federal/State as well. Checked out the website but it only lists C&C holidays.

Nice to see one of the bigger gun blogs getting wind of some of the stupid laws going through our legislature.

Question for our legal gurus. I bought a handgun in CA back in 2004 before I joined the Navy and moved to Hawaii. Its been in storage ever since, but I am visiting family in CA and want to bring it back with me. I have the purchase receipt and CA DOJ DROS showing my ownership. Will there be any issues registering the pistol? I figured I would bring the paperwork and explain everything as an out-of-state registration.

So I am looking at purchasing a Walther P38 pistol, WWII vintage. I have purchased a Mosin from J&G Sales using my C&R license and had no problems, but I see an issue with the P38. The P38 is considered a C&R handgun, but is not in the ATF C&R booklet. They stopped updating the book in 2008, and the P38 was made C&R after that date. Has anyone been able to register their C&R handgun under similar circumstances? I would hate to have to avoid purchasing one because of such a minor issue (or have to pay extra money to have the gun transferred to Al Mongeon or OGC for a FFL transfer).
