That’s really unfortunate.  I guess the only way is to tackle the issue head on with a lawsuit.  Someone needs to challenge the prohibition on firearms ownership for diagnosis with a mental health condition or seeking mental health treatment.  It’s blatantly unconstitutional on its face and the state is all but guaranteed to lose a challenge in the courts.  As the law stands it is a ridiculously low bar that’s being used to deprive people of a fundamental right. 

The state can’t have it both ways.  They either secede and give up that sweet federal money and make their own rules-or they remain a state and abide by the rules set forth in the constitution, full stop.

Does anyone know the status of the lawsuit against HPD with regards to the unconsitutional nature of the permit process?  It’s absolutely outrageous that a firearm purchase requires 3 trips to the police station.

HIFICO talked to the AG because they are not following thru on the settlement of the Yukutake et.al lawsuit.  Expect changes in October is what the AG said.

I bet the reason why they said changes are coming in October is because they’re biding their time until that NY Supreme Court case.  A precedent will likely be set that will state the obvious-that Hawaii’s gun control laws are unconstitutional.

The wording in HB 1366 is really vague.  What parts does this bill ban?  80% lowers?

Wife has rifle stuck in the mail.  Willing to trade Tuesday 3/2 reg appt 820-830AM for a reg appt in April.  Lmk if interested and we can swap this weekend.

Appreciate the tips, just want to make sure I’m there on time.

Thanks so much for all of the information everyone!  I currently have VA medical so thankfully I won't have to deal with the Kaiser process, I guess I'll have to apply for my permit and see what happens.  Thanks for the heads-up tillamook!
