If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You said what I meant to say in an earlier comment, in quite a more
succinct fashion! good job!

You have a much misplaced trust in the police.
Their main job is to enforce the law and raise revenue for the state and county,
regardless of weather the law is just or constitutional.
Other than directing traffic or arresting a DUI driver, public safety stuff is BS!
Never, ever admit to violating a law, or talk to a cop without a lawyer present.

Especially the twerps here in the PRH......

I inherited some firearms last year and this info may help. Two firearms (a Colt Python and a Armalite AR-180) was owned by my wife's cousin that passed away. We didn't know if they were registered. I went to MPD Records Department and said in order for me to get the firearms transferred to me I had to use a FFL dealer. The dealer would hold the guns and contact MPD Records Department to research the firearms serial numbers and take a copy of the cousin's death certificate as part of the registration research. It didn't take more than two days to get the all clear. I gathered the firearms from the dealer, went to MPD and registered the firearms.

There was also another firearm (another Armalite AR-180) that was owned by family. He lives in the mainland but kept the gun here in Hawaii. I got a firearm bill of sale form from MPD, had the owner sign and notarized it and sent it back to me. I then was able to register the gun.

So if the owner of the guns are still alive the least the person needs to do is have a notarized bill of sale for the next registered owner to transfer ownership. If the guns are not stolen or registration should be easy. Good luck.

I just want to be clear that I want to do the right thing and in the right way.  My father's 88 years old and isn't able to go thru the hoops involved in registration, like the classes, permit to acquire and registration.  I do, however know the process and have gone thru all the hoops.

I like the idea of taking the unregistered pistols to a FFL dealer and explain the situation and see if they can hold on to them and if they can sort out the mess and allow me to register them and sell them off.
