Q:  Can my firearms and ammunition be confiscated during a crisis?

A:  In 2010 a law was passed to protect owners of firearms and ammunition.  Seizure and confiscation are prohibited under state law in a time of a crisis or emergency such as COVID-19.

134-7.2 HRS:  "...no person or government entity shall seize or confiscate,under any civil defense, emergency or disaster relief...or during any time of national emergency or crisis...any firearm or ammunition from any individual who is lawfully permitted to carry or possess the firearm or ammunition...."

There is also a federal confiscation prohibition (42 US Code Sec. 5207)


Well, whoda' thunk it in this state?

I am sure your Police Chief and State's Attorneys office would ignore that.

Been waiting for this post, but lets post the WHOLE statute.

So nothing really different as the rules for confiscation still stand if ANY rules in HRS 134 or other HRS', are violated,  not just those I've cited.

We all know if given orders, no HPD will do this or red flags either.

Glad you posted this.

Amazing how there are some on this very forum who are so disillusioned by their love and support for the police and military that they don't think its possible that personnel in both institutions will obey an unconstitutional order.  Such people will get a rude awakening when they see that it may be their best friends and even family members in those outfits following through with those directives.

You seem to be more worried about "some on this very forum" than you are about the evil, maniacal drone Cops you constantly warn us all about.

Maybe you just can't accept that your opinion is not the only one that holds some measure of validity, and you see all those whose views  oppose yours as the enemy.

 

80% paper weights could come in handy.

Or consider that they don't agree on your assessment of the constitutionality of certain orders/laws. It would be inaccurate to paint the picture as simple as either clearly constitutional or clearly unconstitutional.
