The big news in the 2A front was the SCOTUS hearing on New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett, which is about Carry Conceal.  As we all know, any ruling that happens at the SCOTUS level will impact all laws in all 50 states and the DC.

So, lets assume the case goes pro 2A and Hawaii turns into a "Shall Issue" for carry conceal.  What will you do to celebrate this victory?

I will start it off:

1.  Write in the this Forum.  "LETS GO BRANDON" with a subject of "2A Carry Conceal Constitutional"
2.  Walk in  the next business day and apply for a permit with the reason of "IT IS MY CONSTITUIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY CONCEAL SO LETS GO BRANDON"
3.  Submit a permit to purchase a new gun.  SA Hellcat Micro, HK P30SK or SW Shield.
4.  Carry it for about a week then put it away because really I have no desire to carry conceal every day.  However, the option is there when I think it is necessary to be armed,  This is what I want, the right to choose the time and place to protect myself and family.  Sorry but other people doesn't fit in my equation for protection.  I'm not a police office or a super hero.  So make sure you are armed because if I can escape with myself and family without shooting, I'm out of there.

Just want to confirm, 80% is illegal to purchase without having a PTA and if purchasing online must ship to FFL?

If you own one prior to the law you have until 1 Jan 2022 to register?

I thought it would be a good personal project to put together a Poly 80.

Sorry for a long drawn out question...

SCOTUS will be hearing the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Keith Corlett on Nov 3, 2021.  This case deals with carry laws outside of the home.  This got me thinking about the previous case District of Columbia v. Heller, decided in 2008, in which the court made it clear that a citizen had the right to bear arms in self-defense.  However, there was key wording that many anti-2A latched on to, which was ‘Self Defense within the home”.  Also, the Heller case did not answer the question about the requirement of a license to carry because the complainant did not dispute the need for a carry license.  (What I understand about the history of the case is that DC required a carry license even at home, which, like Hawaii, had a very high bar to obtain.  Without the license, the gun had to be in a safe or in a unassembled state, as to render the firearm useless from being immediately used as a firearm)

Understanding that we have the right to bear arms in self-defense to protect yourself at home, does Hawaii still require a carry license for that purpose?  For example, if I had my pistol loaded with one in the chamber, in a holster, at home, and for some reason HPD knocked on my door (maybe selling tickets to the policemen ball) and I answer, would they have sufficient justification to arrest me for an open carry without a license (knowing that no regular citizen has been given a license).

The current license that is posted on HPD website is for concealed carry outside of the home, which we all know HPD will never approve.  I tried searching and reading the current gun laws but there is no mention of needing a license to carry while in the home.  I’m curious enough to apply for a carry license with one phrase “In accordance with the Supreme Court of the United States ruling, District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008, I request a home carry license for Self Defense”.  Just to see what HPD would say.  Does HPD have to give a written justification for a denial?

Just want to make sure, did the bill to limit rifle magazine fail to become a law? 

I searched and saw there was SB2519, which would limit rifle magazine to 10rds.  However it looks like it stalled in the Senate committee with no further action.

The reason I am asking is that I notice a lot of online stores, like the ones in gun brokers, that will not send to Hawaii saying it is illegal.

Am I missing something?

Edit:  found SB301.  So did this pass?  It doesn’t look like it did.

I understand that a Rifle PTA is good for one year and can be used to purchase multiple Rifles.  How does this process work?

When I purchased a pistol, the FFL filled out the back of the PTA and when I registered the pistol, I turn in the PTA.  So, when I buy a rifle, does the FFL fill out the back of the PTA?  Does HPD keep the PTA when I register the rifle?  If so, how do I use PTA to buy another rifle within the same year?

Read an article saying that any one visiting a State facility will require a COVID negative test or passport starting immediately.  I’m assuming this will include PTA and registration. 

Someone report back if they go to HPD on Friday, 10 Sept, if this is true.

I was on the HPD website to see if I needed to do anything when picking up my PTA and notice a blurb which I didn't notice before.

 "As an option, long-gun applicants may have their processed permits mailed to them. Applicants need to provide a self-addressed pre-paid envelope, certified restricted-delivery return receipt required(available at the U.S. Post Office) at time of application for permit. Long-gun (rifles/shotguns) permits are valid for one (1) year from the date of issue"

Has this always been the case for rifles/shotguns or did it just change?  I know that HPD lost the lawsuit recently on PTA/registration so I don't know if this was a change because of the lawsuit or it was always like this.  If this was a change because of the lawsuit, what happen to handguns?  For what reason can't HPD mail the handgun permit?

I finally got a reservation for a PTA.  Read that once the PTA is approved, it is only valid for 10 days. Most likely buying from mainland dealer and shipped to FFL.  So should I/could I order prior to getting the PTA or buy after getting the PTA?  What happens if the gun arrives after the 10 day PTA validation? 

I’m 99.9% sure I will get the PTA.  If don’t I will have bigger issues to worry about.  I.e The gun I already have registered and a job that requires a security clearance.  I’m a mainland transplant so all I had to do was register my gun so I have no experience buying in Hawaii, which BTW is a PITA.

Thanks
