Quick question.   How many members and lurkers on 2AHawaii have took 5 minutes today to send a group email to all city council members,  the mayor, and the govenor to voice your complaints about how your Constitutionally guaranteed RIGHTS are being violated?


I would suggest sending an email every day until it is remedied.   


Don't even have to write anything new.  Just keep sending it everyday.

I would also suggest, if you are not a member already, joining HiFiCo.  They are on the frontlines fighting for our rights in Hawaii.  They need support and cash flow to make these lawsuits winnable.

Aloha Gov. Ige, Mayor Caldwell, Senators, Representatives, Legislators and Officials 

As we all know the COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous issues for all of us living and working in Hawaii. As such, the appointment based process put into place by the Honolulu Police Department, while I am sure well intentioned, has created a Constitutional problem for the citizens in the State, specifically on O’ahu. Currently the citizens of O’ahu are UNABLE to even apply to obtain a permit to acquire a firearm due to no available appointments for the next 3 months or farther based on the results on the HPD Firearms Dept webpage (http://www.honolulupd.org/information/index.php?page=gunmain).This is a deprivation of rights under the color of law. Based on this information, I am asking for the Governor and Mayor to order the Honolulu Police Department to immediately suspend the appointment based system and allow the Hawaii based Federal Firearms Licensees to perform the background checks using the ATF Form 4473 and/or the current HPD forms and contacting the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction. Numerous other states with waiting periods have proved that the background check system CAN and DOES work even with a waiting period. California, our closest neighbor in the 9th Circuit imposes a 10 day waiting period on all firearm purchases and all Private Party transfers must be done through a Federal Firearms Licensee. Hawaii FFLs can contact the HPD or other County Police departments or through the States Attorney Generals Office which performs background checks (https://ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc/criminal-history-records-check/) to perform the background check as is required by State and Federal laws.Hawaii can perform this as well and better than other States, showing the other States we are more than capable and first in upholding the Constitutional Rights of our residents.

By moving the process out to the FFLs, this will free up officer time in the Firearms Permit Unit to address their workload and abilities. Also, in light of the Yukutake et. al. V. Conners suit being settled, this would be a huge positive movement in publicity for the State and HPD in regards to Civil Rights and the upholding of Constitutional Rights of both the State of Hawaii and the United States.

We, as residents of the State of Hawaii and respective Counties, know that you as our elected officials value the oath you have taken to uphold the Constitutional obligations as set forth when you took office. We know that if this was a problem with our abilities to vote, the problem would be addressed immediately. And regardless of views, we now have 100% mail-in voting in Hawaii. Should we not have the same and equal ability to exercise our right to bear arms as the right to vote?Mahalo for your kokua in addressing an issue which is directly affecting the Constitutional rights of the residents of Hawaii.

ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia (No task is too big when done together by all) 

Mahalo nui loa

Oh no! Say it isn’t so! Don’t let yourself go to the dark side!!! 

I have been spending all of my available funds on reloading supplies. I’m afraid to look at what Ruger and S&W are offering right now cuz I’d be afraid to go into debt if I fell in love with something. 

I would love to get a Ruger Redhawk 8 shot 357 or in 45LC/acp, I prefer 357 but 45LC/acp would be nice too

I would love to get a Ruger Redhawk 8 shot 357 or in 45LC/acp, I prefer 357 but 45LC/acp would be nice too

My Ruger Super Redhawk is in 454 Casull. But I only load 45LC in it. Why, you ask? Cuz I can’t take too many rounds of 454 Casull in one sitting.    I know, I’m a wuss.

But seriously, Sierra’s reloading manual (Available free as an app now!) lists 2 different pressure loadings for the 45LC cartridge. One is low pressure (14kpsi) for use in standard 45LC revolvers like the SAA or some of the Taurus Judge/S&W Governor type revolvers. And then they have high pressure (30kpsi) for specific revolvers which are listed as the Super Blackhawk, Redhawk, Super Redhawk and the BFR Revolvers. This high pressure loading for the 45LC cartridge is in the low range of the 454 Casull cartridge. I have loaded the 45LC Starline cases I have with these high pressure loads and I do not see any signs of the case not being able to take the pressures. The recoil is a little easier on my arthritic hands but is stout enough to remind me not to shoot too many or I am going to be taking some Advil later that night.   

I just ordered some coated hard cast boolits for my Model 25. They are 250gr SWC and powder coated from Acme Bullet Company. They sell them for a great price, combine shipping and come in a cool little custom made wooden box. Cast boolits are still quite available compared to jacketed/plated. I have not tried them yet, but I am going to try these in my low and high pressure 45LC loadings as well as my 45AR cartridges.

I also just ordered their 158gr SWC powdered coated for my 357. These projects are low on my list as I have a lot of higher priority ammo to load first.

I remember shooting your SuperRedhawk once at the revolver day. 

I got a box of 500 rounds 210 grain LRNFP from ACME bullets in .44 (.430 to be exact). I'll use Trail Boss for some easy shooting cowboy loads.  I'm lucky bc I bought up a bunch of powder and projectiles when all this Corona started. I also hoarded some ammo. I'm thankful that I'll be good for a while on ammo, but I'm always looking for more. 

Sent my follow up email today with more screen shots of no available appointments into December.

Everyone else doing the same I hope....

I got some Acme .38 bullets but they were all chipped and nicked up.  I emailed them with this pic, they said it was not normal for their bullets and they're sending a replacement box.  Were your .44s in good condition?

mine are just lead bullets, but I didn't even open the box yet and I've had it for months.
I better check it when I go home

 

 

BTW I got an appointment in October.... 

For those that have gone through this process, please clarify this situation:

1.  LG permit expiring in August.
2.  Registration appointment in September.

Can a LG be purchased in July then registered in September with an August expired permit?

Called firearms division but no one seems to be answering.

Yep.  The permit to ACQUIRE is valid in July.  No problem acquiring a long gun.

When you register, apply for a new permit.  Registration doesn't require a valid permit to acquire.

Look at all the out of state guns that come in with new residents and visitors.  Registration is required, but no permits needed.  Acquisition is separate from registration.

Chances are, they will want to keep the expired permit, so take that with you to apply for a new one.  Making you go through a background check when moving or visiting requires a permit registration process.  If you acquired using a valid permit at that time the background check was already performed.

If they give you grief, tell them you'd like to know who to report HPD to for violating the 5 day registration law -- ever since the appointment system started.

Thank you.

No problema.

Back when they could support a "5-days after acquisition" registration process, it was reasonable to expect the new owner to have a valid permit at registration.

Now, though, they are allowing acquisitions weeks or months before registering.  As long as the permit was valid at acquisition/transfer, registration should not be an issue.

How are you guys getting appointments? Site says nothing available for eternity. Do I need to go in person?

Here's what I did when I got my appointment.

Go to the HPD website http://www.honolulupd.org/information/index.php?page=gunmain

Since all of the slot are taken three months out, you have to wait as they open up a 10 minute slot every 10 minutes.

So at 1:30 pm today, they opened up the slot for Oct 14 for 1:30pm.

Got to be quick cause they disappear rather quickly. I lost a couple of appointments because I type with one finger.

Ditto

All I did was go on the HPD website and requested an appointment to register firearm 3 guns or less.

Then they offered a time: Oct. 8, 2020 at 11:30.  So I took it and I got an e-mail confirmation.
