General Discussion / CCW Permit

I think HPD should have a mandatory quota for CCW Permit application approval. That would be a great start for Hawaii.
Anybody?

You can go to any DMV office in your county and request one, or mail in the form:

Mailing address: 
City and County of Honolulu
Department of Customer Services
Motor Vehicle, Licensing, and Permits Division
P.O. Box 30330
Honolulu, HI 96820

There's no cost for just the registration certificate if you have your license plate decal.

We misplaced the envelope with my daughter's renewed registration and decal.  We went to the Wahiawa Police Station DMV office and got replacements.  There was a small fee for the decal IIRC.

Here's the form for requesting a replacement for a tag or decal/emblem:

https://www.honolulu.gov/rep/site/csd/onlineforms/cslmvr3.pdf

For the decal, I think it was a 2-step process.  We needed the registration certificate first, which we then used to get the replacement decal.  The individual helping us let us request the registration, then called us up to the window when it was ready.  At the same time, we requested the decal.  We then had to pay for the decal. 

Call the DMV for specifics.  This might have changed since we did it.  The links I gave have links to locations and phone numbers.

Have fun!

Political Discussion / Rick Blangiardi

What do you guys think of Rick Blangiardi?
The guy reminds me of Andrew Cuomo. According to Young Guns he's likely anti-gun, he's pro lock down.

He talks about "business" but what "business" does he speak of?
My guess is Labor Unions? That's considered a business...right?

Isn't it interesting that natural rights are being grossly violated yet riots brought out the bootlicker in say the 90% of Americans?

You are absolutely correct.

I would argue that the Senate wouldn't be doing the job they were elected to do: if they DIDN'T block Obamas nomination.

As for voting on a nomination, you needed a 60% majority to even call a vote. Harry Reid and the Democrat Majority in 2013 effectively nullified the 60% majority rule with their Nuclear Option. They know they fxcked up and set a bad presidence. now they need to fix their mistake by granting Puerto Rico statehood.

I thought republicans said nominations shouldn't be made so close to a presidential election.


The People rejected the Democrats in 2014, when the
Democrats lost the Senate Majority. Remember "Elections have consequences" Obama said that. The consequence of losing the Senate is that you lose the opportunity to confirm SCOTUS nominations. These rules were designed to put a check on power. If Democrats had both the Senate and the Executive branch trust and believe they would have confirmed and Left Wing nut to the Supreme Court.
Obviously politicians can't outright say that because it's off-putting but that's politics.

Only if the Senate can push the confirmation vote through. 

Trump could name his nominee today if he wanted.  It's up to McConnell to call for a confirmation hearing.

Maybe now, with the lockdowns and other pandemic crap going on, the Dems will be too distracted to put up as much of a fight as they did against Kavanaugh.

Doubtful.
Just think somewhere out there there's a rapist, raging homophob, sexist, demon judge in our court system.

Too bad that judge won't know how evil he/she is until Trump nominates him/her.

Legal and Activism / Re: Mayoral Recall
« on: September 15, 2020, 10:24:43 PM »
Nope.  For two reasons.

(1)  He's not on the November 2020 ballot for Mayor, for the simple reason he's ineligible.  Can't run for a 3rd term.

(2)  He's within 1 year of the end of his term. "The end of a term" usually signals an election is being held just before it.  A recall would require a recall election to fill the vacancy should the recall succeed.  Why force a recall election just to then have a normal election in the same timeframe?


Well he deserves to be remembered as a recalled mayor. He's corrupt bought out by PRP and he's ruining Honolulu's economy.

Sorry I know I ask a lot of questions but could we recall Caldwell? I think there are A LOT of businesses owners and normal citizens that would sign a petition.

Ahh. Haha. My bad. “Too long didn’t watch”. My buddy posted a written summary for those who thought the video was too long. Like me. I’ll usually go back and watch later tho.

I’m not millennial, but just many times no time or desire to watch lengthy videos from social media.

Well I'm on the border of GenX and Millennial depending on whose definition you read. But I have noticed that I do feel "entitled" to Constitutional and Natural Rights which I can see other generations frowning upon.
Anyway check out that vid it's very entertaining.

Interesting perspective on correlation to influenza in a region. Read a TLDW summary a friend posted, but it doesn’t bode well for mainland US.

Lol at first I thought TLDW meant "too long don't write" then watched the video and realized it probably meant "Too long don't watch".
Here's the shorter, more millennial version for those with a shorter attention span and speak sarcasm fluently.

General Discussion / Re: Out of state gun transfer
« on: September 13, 2020, 08:59:56 AM »
First, Washington State has "Universal Background Checks". 

HOWEVER ......

So, if the firearm is a GIFT for your brother, then a background check isn't required.

That's the good news, however (again).....

Since the firearm is a handgun, you are required by federal law to process the transfer through a licensed dealer (FFL) in WA, because this is an interstate transfer.  If you are in the military and a legal resident of WA, then you can possibly get around that. 

Without knowing your military status and legal state of residence, you should at least qualify for the exemption under the background checks rules.  You should be able to go with your brother to an FFL in WA and complete the transfer in one visit.  There will be a fee charged, I'm sure.

Washington does allow its residents to buy long guns from out of state and bring them in without going through an FFL.  The question then becomes if the seller's state allows it, and does the specific out of state dealer's policy allow it?  If they can sell it to you legally, then you can buy it and bring it back to WA legally.  Just not for handguns.

I see nothing in the law requiring firearm registration.  That's kind of interesting, since it's almost impossible to enforce universal background checks if they don't know who has what firearms.  A gun could be passed around (transferred) several times with no background checks, because there's no tracking other than those law-abiding owners who required the buyer to do the background check for private sales. 

I do find in the law that felony firearm offenders are required to register with law enforcement, like sex crime offenders here.  That actually makes more sense than firearm registration.  At least a private seller has the capability to refer to that list to ensure the buyer is not prohibited.  Not saying it's a good system, just a better one than ours.  My opinion, of course.  Put the burden on the criminals, not the "good guys" buying and selling guns.

BTW, the Supreme Court says that criminals and anyone else who is prohibited from owning guns can't be coerced into registering their guns with the state -- it would be self incrimination.  So, only people legally allowed to have guns can be charged for not registering one.  That doesn't apply to WA since they have no registration, but I thought I'd toss that out since you live in Hawaii.

Anyway, I recommend your brother contact a local WA FFL and verify all this. They are the best source of info since they are effectively enforcing the state's laws on gun transfers.  But from looking at their laws, flying with the gun and going through an FFL to process the transfer is the bare minimum you'll have to do.  Hopefully the background check will be waived.  (Just don't let your brother hand you a check with "Handgun" in the Memo Line, and don't give him a receipt!   Repeat after me: "It's a gift." :rofl:)

As for flying with it, there are plenty of threads on here about the ever-changing rules for various airlines.  The basics are:

1.  Use a well-constructed, lockable container.  Pelican is always a good choice.  Manufacturer's cases are often too flimsy -- they can be pried open on the sides without removing the locks.  Put all gun parts in the lockable case, such as mags and grip back straps.  Some airlines and states treat any and all firearm parts and ammunition the same as a firearm when flying.

2.  Place the unloaded gun in the case and lock it.  Use KEYED locks with shackles that are not much longer than needed to close the lock onto the case.  Long shackles may allow the case to be partially opened.

3. Do not follow any guides online that say to use a TSA-approved lock.  Those locks allow TSA employees to open the case without you present.  Keep the keys on you, and insist on being present to unlock the case if inspecting is needed.

4. You'll sign a declaration at the airport stating the firearm is unloaded.  Place that inside the gun case if instructed, or place it inside the checked bag the gun case is in.

5.  Don't check the case by itself.  Place it inside another piece of luggage you are checking.  Don't try to take it on the plane as carry-on.  Should be obvious, but many people try it all the time.  I don't lock the checked bag, since TSA seems to enjoy inspecting my bags containing gun cases several times.

6.  Don't put stickers or markings on the gun case or luggage to indicate a gun is inside.  That's a good way to get it stolen.

7.  Show up at the airport early so you can take care of the declaration process and any inspections without being rushed.  Anticipate delays.

8.  You may contact the airport for specific instructions, but they normally just refer you to their website which can be out of date.  So, don't be surprised when they try to surprise you with changes upon arrival.  I'd say call the airport a day or two before departure at least try to get the latest updates.  Ask specific questions if they give you confusing or contradictory info compared to the website.

I've only flown United and AA with a firearm, but my daughter used Hawaiian a few years ago.  Never had any problems, but as I said, rules keep changing.

P.S. WA has penalties for not safely storing a firearm.  They stop short of describing what places and storage conditions are considered "safe".  It's more after-the-fact, results-based penalties.  As in, if someone steals your gun and commits a crime with it, you could be liable if they decide you didn't take reasonable precautions and stored it safely.  That might mean:  don't leave the gun in your brother's car while you two stop for a beer.  Wait until after it's been transferred ... THEN go out!   :rofl:

https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.360


As usual, take this as a "to the best of my knowledge" answer.  You should do your own research: contact the WA police and/or FFL as well as the airline.  Take good notes, especially names of who you talk to and when.  Then if there's a problem, you can explain where you were misinformed.



That's a lot of info. Thank you I appreciate it.

And if you have a layover in CA, just report to the nearest police station and turn yourself in.  You probably broke a few gun laws without knowing it.   :rofl: 
Dude  :rofl:

I was speaking (writing) in general terms about human nature.

I said "when we know we were caught in the wrong."  The inverse implies that you'd be more inclined to fight it if you felt you were in the right for whatever reason.

EDIT ***

I'd add to the above regarding human nature:  "unless you're a Democrat."  Apparently the laws aren't supposed to apply to them, particularly those in high public office.   :wacko:
Fair enough. I'm just so frustrated. How can locals get nuts over a telescope but not a pep about being locked in thei house indefinitely? It's almost as if they are being played by the media?

Hey guys I got a question.  I want to transfer my gun to my brother in Washington. I'm going up there next month. Anybody know the process to do so? How do I unregister the gun from my name? Does Washington even have a registration system?  Also how do I transport the gun? I'm flying Hawaiian.

Human nature is to try and put these things behind us as quickly as possible when we know we were caught in the wrong.  If the fine is less than the time and salary lost going to court, most will just choose to pay it.

Except I don't believe we were in the wrong. The government is violating not only our Constitutional Rights but our God-given rights the freedom of assembly and the freedom of movement.
It's disgusting, revolting and unbecoming of an American state.
