Okay I tried posting this question in the other thread,
Re: Getting and registering a gun in Hawaii, but did not get an answer.
So I thought I try here.
I hope someone could help me on this as I did not want to start another thread.
I want to purchase these 2 pistols from my cousin, a Smith and Wesson 9mm and a Cobray PM-9/11(note this is the California legal semi-auto version not the full auto version). I know about the process of how to purchase handguns. I already took the Hunters Ed class and waiting to receive the certificate showing I took this said class and be able to purchase a hand gun. Keep in mind I already have the long gun permit as well.
The problem with my cousin's situation is, when he came back from the military 15 years or so ago, he never registered these pistols. From what he as told me, he bought these off of his squad leader at the time and the only paperwork he has is just a statement both parties signed stating party A sold these pistols to party B. He wants to sell these pistols to me as he has no intrest in firearms anymore. I don't ever recall him saying he punched a few rounds ever since he came back home. In any case how does one get these pistols registered?
I would guess my cousin would at the very least have to take the Hunters Ed class just to be qualified to register these pistols in his name. Then just wait a few weeks and head down to the police station for both of us to do the transfer, is that right?
