Thanks for the answer and the welcome 2a.
 
I do have another question.  A friend of mine moved to HI a while back and left me with one of his rifles (and alot of other crap still sitting in my storage unit; he couldnt take everything).  Now I'm going to move out there.  Can I bring his rifle with me and give it to him when I get there?  I'm told I have to declare it with the airline, and then take it to the PD within X amount of time.  Can I just turn it over to him and he can take it to the PD since he's going to have possession of it thereafter?  Or is the PD going to be expecting me to check-in myself since I declared it?  I want to make sure whatever I do is legal and I damn sure dont want to be in any trouble.  If you have any idea, please let me know what you think.  Or if you think there are any other better options to get it to him, otherwise he just has to get it himself the next time he comes back to visit.
 
Thanks again.
