Legal and Activism / Re: Importing firearm from mainland
« on: November 04, 2015, 08:34:42 PM »
Flew in today no problems at all. Told the lady at the check in counter that I needed a declaration form for my handgun. Says ok sign here, tapes it on the box, and that was it. Was never asked to open the case.

Just have a few addition questions now for when I go register tomorrow. I remember reading about it before but can't I can't seem to locate it.

1. Does the case with the firearm have to be in the trunk of the car?

2. Does said case need to be locked?

disassemble the magazines and have it blocked locally in hawaii,

or

have them modified in your current area.


a simple rivet  / welding a rod is sufficient to block the follower to disallow the 11th round.

Probably won't have enough time to modify it here. Thanks for all your help man

Inform the checkin counter agent and declare your firearm. They will not touch your case , but give you a "tag" to sign and place inside your lockable case by "key" (combination locks are not acceptable) by TSA.

Place the tag inside the gun case, then proceed to TSA screening. The airline agent will direct you to TSA.

Wait till all your luggage clears TSA  screening , then its all set till you are back in Hawaii..

Just make sure your magazine is less than 10rds....

Your gun case can be inside your luggage or separate. Either way it will spit out on the carousel with all the other bags from that flight...

Yea im going to have to leave the magazines behind. Any recommendation on a place I can get mecgars for a decent price?

You got it correct. Welcome to the forum. I'd bring back as much ammo as you can with you most airlines are 11 lbs there are some that are more.

How much does run there? Never had a reason to look till now. Here you can get a 200 round pack of Winchester 117grain 9mm for $40

Aloha,

New member here. Just looking for some guidance after researching for days regarding this issue. I am stationed on Kbay but currently on leave in Texas. My brother suprised me a Sig P226 ;D for my birthday while I was here and I plan on bringing it back. I've been doing a lot of research regarding laws of importing firearms to Hawaii. From my understanding after reading tons of websites it appears that I can declare my firearm with my airline and legally bring to to Oahu. Then within 3 days I will do an out-of-state registration with HPD. I was just wondering if anyone has or know of any experiences of importing handguns from the mainland and if the process I stated earlier sounds correct. Thanks for all your time  :shaka:
