I've gotten different answers from different people (trainers, RSOs, LGS employees, LEO, etc)

With the amount of uncertainty in this thread one has to ask... Does this statute violate the wording of the 2A?  At what point are our rights to possess and transport firearms truly infringed? 

Ask 10 people a question and get 10 variations to an answer.

They might be similar, but they will each be different.

Apart from the technical aspects of the original question, I was pleased to note the additional discussion regarding courtesy and decorum on the board.  I admit I got moderately miffed at one of the sharp-cornered responses, and mentioned it in the mildest-mannered way I could. 

Let the matter now rest, with all of us wiser.  Shaka.

Since this is still going on...loaded magazines are ok as long as they're kept separate from the firearm itself correct?

Maybe, you should start a new thread on this?

Thanks.

Not when hunting and traversing to/from the hunting area, the gun is considered loaded when the mags are loaded regardless if inserted or not.  However I've read it's ok to have loaded mags in checked in baggage (as commercially designed to "carry" ammo?), nevermind the complete lack of security at the far end picking up those same bags.  Weird but true.

I just keep mines in my glove box like most people do

Need someone to start selling tactical underwear that's legally considered a gun case.

Hawaii Statues define a loaded Firearm as this:

"Firearm loaded with ammunition" and "loaded firearm" means a firearm with ammunition present within the firing chamber, revolving cylinder, or within a magazine which is inserted in a firearm.

I guess that's wrong, too, since the laws are all open to interpretation ...   

Just my 2cent. I bought a rifle at this pass gun show. Had no case. They wrapped it in brown paper and sent me on my way. Walked around for some time pass HPD sheriffs dnlr. Not one word from anyone.
