From the usual
assholes suspects. These assholes public servants never give up:
Oh, and while it appears your currently owned weapons may INITIALLY be grandfathered in, not in the long run:
"(j) The permit to acquire a firearm shall be renewed every five years during the ownership of the firearm and shall require continued proof of coverage under a firearms insurance policy as required by chapter ."
[I think they mean "firearms registration document", but what do I know? Well, except that I no longer have any permits to acquire from [edit] handguns I previously acquired, so it would be difficult to renew them... and why would I since I have already acquired them? Friggin' idiots!]

I dare ya to find me one single civilian disarmament advocate who is actively involved in a position of influence (legislator, Bloomberg organization officers, Brady, VPC, lobbyists, etc.) that doesn't state out front that they "support the Second Amendment". I put it that way because there are a few communists progressives who leave online comments here and there and tell the truth about wanting to take all the guns from everyone and that the Constitution is just an old piece of parchment.

I would respect them more if they were truthful and just said "I don't like guns". Vs. " I support he 2a, but...".
Well I got my NRA insurance policy, but knowing how our state works, that won't be sufficient coverage.
We should ask S. Chang, why the need for insurance? Car insurance yes, because there are hundreds of accidents every few days. How many AD or firearm injuries are there? What this bill would do is paint a target on gun owners, criminals know we would have insurance and its no loss if they get shot or steal from us. Either way, they would get a payout. Most carriers settle.
-

Please, you don't really believe for one second that this proposal is data driven do you? Yeah, let's see the data for the past 10 years on uninsured gun owner incidents. Then let's compare that number to the number of citizens outside their homes who were lawfully forbidden to carry a firearm for self-defense who were harmed by criminals. They are not seeking to solve "a problem", unless the problem is defined as "too many law-abiding citizens have too many guns".

I hope this includes LEOs as they use their firearms more frequently compared to us regular citizens

I have some questions about the mechanics of renewal. Will they send you a notice of fee due, like car registration fees, or do you just have to take responsibility without notification and show up at the police station prior to expiration to show your proof of insurance and pay the renewal fee? What about all the firearms you buy on different dates, will each firearm have a different 5 year expiration date (the bill does use the singular term "the firearm") and you will get a notice or have to make an appearance to show proof of insurance for each firearm on each 5 year term of expiration and pay the enrollment fee again for each firearm?
What happens if you ignore the notification of expiration and/or just don't show up on your own to show proof of insurance and pay the fee? It's not like a car without a sticker on the bumper and the cops can see you on the road. It seems the only option would be to issue a search warrant and go to the home (where there will likely shortly be another bill requiring "safe storage" with storage location required) and confiscate all firearms until proof of insurance is provided. I can only imagine what the "storage and administrative cost recovery fees" will be for that process!
I don't know about you, but I certainly feel as if "public safety" will be greatly enhanced by this bill! :crazy: Friggin' idiots!

Homeowners or renters insurance provides the insurance coverage they're talking about.
They should be more worried about golfer's insurance.
Errant golf balls are much more prevalent and dangerous to person and property.
This is stupid and unnecessary.
-

Yes. I can remember 3 negligent discharges by LEOs without even thinking about it, one which killed the LEO. On the other hand, I can't think of any by John Q Citizen. Also insurance does not cover acts during the comission of a crime, so gun insurance won't help the innocent bystander who gets shot during a hold up.
Stupid bill by stupid people, but I bet it gets a hearing and voted on.

funny you mentioned golf
Co worker had stitches above his eye because he was hit with a golf ball. He could've been blinded. Well, apparently he found out the hard way not to stand in front of a golfer...like a firearms range

Depends on the carrier. Island insurance doesnt cover any kind of disscharge.
First insurance doesnt cover any intentional disscharge, so AD is covered.
Hence why I bought the NRA policy that coveres self defense discharges.

The NRA policy is designed around self defense for home and away from home. Homeowners/renters policy is iffy.

Hey guys, please attempt to calm yourselves so you don't have a stroke or something. And if you do that successfully please let me know how you did it because I nearly have a stroke every day when I read about all the crap going on.
Also, please be assured that by our efforts to arouse the 50,405 gun owning households in Hawaii to submit testimony and lobby the legislature we will get at least 10 emails sent to the committee opposing such legislation. How could they ignore that kind of response? Nothing to worry about.

D.C already tried something similar with 3 yearl registration and it was shot down as unconstitutional
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today ruled that several parts of the District’s gun registration law violate the Second Amendment. The court held the following provisions unconstitutional:
registered guns be re-registered every three years.
a gun must be physically brought to the D.C. police headquarters in order to registered.
persons seeking to register a gun must pass a test about firearms laws.
prohibition on registering more than one handgun per month.

being unconstitutional never stopped them before

If they don't make the news, then how did you SEE A FEW? Other than accidents at KHSC, I've read of one accidental shooting on Oahu in 24 years that did not involve an officer. That was a teen ILLEGALLY POSSESSING A REVOLVER at the Aiea Library.

I will not comply with buying any gun insurance or more registration fees legislated by this state, Again, for moles, trolls, spies for the city or state on this site, I will not comply. I will not comply in re-registering squat, I will resist any attempts at confiscation or threats to my safety and freedom.
Nevermind this crap bill proposed by fuzzy haired, greasy lips, ass kissing Stanley Chang, but because of rapback, I will as an individual contact AG Sessions and others from the new DOJ that may help us to have them look at rapback and using an FBI database. My goal is to have DOJ give HPD "help" in the form of oversight to ensure they comply with the laws and not interpret them. Somrthing like what Obama's DOJ did with Ferguson PD. Everyone knows, oversight is the kind of help nobody wants.
We have to organize or possibly end up in the headlines.
-
Sorry guys. I am making arrangements to start transferring all of my firearms out of this state. I have 15 months to go and I am out of here. Green did all of this. He roped Chang into his circle. Shooting fish in the barrel for Green.
Chang is a dead brain liberal.

I would imagine so. If you need to re-apply every 5 years to even own the firearm, not purchase, then yes eventually everyone would go into Rapback.

There are a lot of hurdles this bill has to address.
1) Language doesn't specify what type of coverage and limits needed. ( Most homeowners policies exclude some form of firearm liability)
a) So majority of the carriers out there would have to change their language in the policy regarding firearm liability
2) Any new carrier who wishes to do business in Hawaii must apply with the insurance commissioner.
3) Rates have to be approved by insurance commissioner. They can't just charge you what ever they want. They have to show why and how they got their rates.
a) Example: If your auto carrier wants a rate increase, usually a percentage (across the board), they have to show that they are experiencing more losses than normal and need to charge more to stay in business. This is different from surcharges for accidents or moving violations. Then the insurance commission has to approve this rate increase.
4) The 2 carriers that I know of is the NRA one and USCCA. They are about the same price, $400 a year for $500,000 of liability. You can buy less or more and the price adjust accordingly. So it's not like they charge you $1200 like auto insurance.
5) What documentation is needed? Certificates of insurance issued currently doesn't have a section for "firearm liability" due to all the exclusions. Your insurance declaration page doesn't specifically say firearm liability. You have to read the fine print in the policy. A lot of fine print says it covers 1 thing, but 10 pages later, it says it excludes it. So the entire insurance industry in Hawaii would have to change also.
I'm not saying this bill wont happen, but there are a lot of steps it has to address first.
-
I'm not saying this bill wont happen, but there are a lot of steps it has to address first.
Like I said before, the details of reality are irrelevant to the "public servants" who proffer these sorts of bills. There is only one true intent: make it as costly, time consuming, and difficult as possible for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. But if you begin to question them or their motives, they universally assert that they "believe in the Second Amendment": I have it in writing from Ruderman. He wouldn't lie would he? :rofl:
-
I'm going to assume they will want criminal liability insurance where the victim or state get paid if you commit a crime.
-
Like "Car insurance" ?
Ok, then I am covered by my insurance WHEREVER I (or any other authorized and legally licensed person I loan my gun to) take my firearm, just like my car. :thumbsup:
"They should be more worried about golfer's insurance"
More moving vehicle windshields have been struck and broken by golf balls hit onto Kalanianiole Hwy from Hawaii Kai Golf Course than bullets from anywhere. :shake:
Not really worrying about it.
I shipped all of my firearms to relatives in the mainland. ::)
-
I can hardly wait to see what kind and amount of insurance they will require if the national reciprocity act passes and includes the non-resident permit language allowing Hawaii residents to carry with a Utah/Arizona/etc. permit. There's gonna be a LOT of zeroes in that one! They're gonna need wider paper to get that number all on one line! ;) :rofl:
-
I'm going to assume they will want criminal liability insurance where the victim or state get paid if you commit a crime.
No such thing. Carriers exclude liability for intentional criminal acts. I burn your house down accidentally leaving a candle lit vs. I lit your curtains on fire.
Or hitting a pedestrian accidentally, vs. intentionally hitting someone with your car.
I personally think all gun owners should have some liability coverage, but that's your kuliana if you don't and something happens. Hence why I got my NRA liability policy, mainly for when I carry in Nevada.
-
It smells of a money grab and a way of slowing down or stopping gun sales/gun ownership in Hawaii by making it more cumbersome and more expensive.
The same thing they are trying to do with cars. Raising registration fees, raising the gas tax, eliminating street lanes (by making slightly used bike lanes) and eliminating parking and/or raising parking rates all in an effort to get people out of cars and onto the train or buses/bike.
-
Does a big ass heavy safe count as insurance? Don't answer that, I already know the answer.
I have been meaning to look into which is cheaper, extending my homeowners insurance to cover the value of my guns or get added insurance thru the NRA. My homeowners insurance only covers firearms for $1k I think. I might get it thru the NRA cuz it covers loss, damage as well as fire, flood and theft. My homeowners only covers theft and fire.
Maybe it's time to start thinning the herd... :shake: :shake: :shake:

Some carriers go higher, but check the max amount per gun. NRA is broader coverage. You are right, homeowners excludes flood, hurricane, earth movement, riots, and other stuff.

My homeowners only covered up to $1K. High value covers whatever I put on it and is adjusted as I buy and sell. However that is just on the property. No liability insurance on that policy.

right now, the committee chairs hold all the power
they can hold up bills by not taking testimony or votes (likely to happen with the ccw bills)

DIRECT CONTACTS TO SENATORS GILBERT KEITH-AGARAN AND CLARENCE NISHIHARA.
I received a response from Will Espero, as I essentially sent emails expressing my opposition to SB9 to all state senators and representatives.
His response was that this bill would "likely be heard by Senator Nishihara (Public Safety) or Senator Keith-Agaran (Judiciary).

sent email to all senators (sens@capitol.hawaii.gov)
will send again to chairs and vice chairs again later
subject: STRONGLY OPPOSE SB9
body: this bill is an unconstitutional infringement upon our second amendment rights (and our Hawaii State Constitution DIRECTLY COPIES the 2nd amendment)
"The Right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
hawaii firearms laws are already in the top 5 strictest laws in the country, and we have an extremely low rate of violent crimes committed with firearms here
this bill does NOTHING to protect the public from people who obtain firearms illegally
this bill will discriminate against people who cannot afford the insurance or the time off of work to re-register their firearms every 5 years as stated in this bill
it will also unbelievably burden the county police departments having to re-register all the firearms every five years
mahalo for your consideration

Opposition for S.B. No. 9, Relating to Firearms Insurance
Aloha,
I wish to express my disappointment that such a S.B. No. 9, Relating to Firearms Insurance has made its way into this year’s legislative session. As a lawful firearm owner, I feel that mandating a financial requirement (obtaining insurance) to lawfully exercise a constitutional right presents an ethical problem and only creates further “distrust” amongst the voters of Hawaii towards elected officials.
It is clear that our state constitution, as well as the constitution of the United States of America, doesn’t specify that the Right to Bear Arms should carry a financial requirement. There shouldn’t be a “price tag” in order to “allow” law-abiding citizens to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights. In order to purchase a firearm, law-abiding individuals must go through a 14-Day waiting period, sign waivers for medical and mental health waivers, authorize criminal background checks, authorized being placed on a watch list alongside convicted criminals (Hawaii Rap Back), and make 3 individual trips to the main HPD branch. Through these current measures, we represent some of what is good about Hawaii.
Hawaii has enjoyed decades and decades of low violent crime incidents involving firearms. 2014 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clearly show that when compared to a national firearm-related mortality rate of 10.2 (per 100,000 residents), Hawaii’s rate was at 2.6. What is interesting is that California, who boasts more firearm regulations than the State of Hawaii, reached a firearm-related mortality rate of 7.4 in comparison to national rate of 10.2 in the same year (2014).
While many are quick to credit Hawaii’s stringent firearms regulations for such low death rates, one intangible factor that has to be taken into consideration is our “Aloha Spirit” and our unique local culture that still puts “ohana” and respect for others above all else. Therefore I feel it is unjust to continuously subject the lawful gun owners of Hawaii with draconian proposals aimed at potentially deterring honest people from exercising their right to the 2nd Amendment and self-defense by adding further financial requirements and procedures.
Again I deeply oppose S.B. No.9 and ask that the law-abiding citizens of Hawaii that lawfully exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights be free and clear from these continued attacks on our freedoms in the future.
