Ahound....
This was the picture I was joking about.

that smug look of accomplishment tho

 

Hi folks, it's been a minute since I've been active on here,  it's been a minute since I've purchased a firearm and I am wanting to get back in it, I have been turned off of purchasing new toys due to rapback.  But my interest has been renewed after a friendly conversation with a gentleman at the range this past Sunday.  He says that if I have had a background check done for a job ( i work in healthcare) then I am already in the rapback "system" or "database" and that I would only have to pay the one-time $40-something fee.  I am now willing to pay this fee, to re-acquire the "privilege" to purchase firearms. 

I have a DLNR certification to buy handguns, but my rifle permit-to-purchase has since expired a couple years ago, and like a good boy I returned the original paper permit directly to HPD firearms division (even they were impressed / surprised that I went through the trouble to do this.)

anywho, It has been a while since I've purchased anything and have some questions that I am sure you kindly folks would be willing to answer:

1. I am intending to purchase a handgun primarily,  do I need to re-new my long-gun permit to purchase in order to do so?
2. If so, is the renewal process the same as if I am applying for a new long gun permit-to-purchase? i.e I would have to go down to HPD, fill out application, provide proper ID, provide fingerprints, and wait 14 days to pickup permit?)
3. If not, can I just walk into a gun store and show the DLNR certification and buy a handgun? (and thereafter continue with the handgun application process)
4. does the handgun application require the long-gun permit, or does the long gun permit make the handgun application process easier?
5.  what does the handgun application process involve? is it similar to the long gun permit process i.e. go down to HPD, fill out application and wait 14 days?
6. the registering process is pretty straight forward and I remember what needs to be done but the permitting and purchasing process is what evades my memory.

Mahalo for your help!   

If im not mistaken....

for pistols,
?2 U must obtain make, model, cal., SN, seller, etc. information prior to applying for a permit to acquire a pistol.
You take that info down to HPD, fill out permit to acquire, med waivers (+ Rapback if never done b4).
At the window, HPD hands you another application (looks like you LG permit that is good for 1year, but filled out differently) that is where you fill in the pistol info. THIS is what youre picking up in 14 days, and after you register the pistol, you will hand back this sheet.
When its your "pick up week", get your permit to aquire, go get the pistol, bring it down, register with HPD. Then they will get you your half sheet, and your all good to go.

?3 you can go to any shop with your hunters ed card to purchase, but you wont be walking out that day with the pistol tho.

?4 neither requires the other

?5 kinda....except after the 14 day wait, you still have to scramble around to register. I usually schedule my day to do it within the same day of permit p/u

Ensure pistol information is legible and accurate. If permit to acquire does not match up....SOL, restart process.

Hope this helped

This is why, no matter how batshit nuts I feel, I'll never, ever, ever, on pain of death, speak to a military mental health specialist.   

LOL!

Are they still @ that harbor center place?

Just got to the range and found out its closed due to no water. Range guys don't know when its comming back on. Oh well
