HI i just came from the good old state of Texas where there are very few gun laws i was planing on having a few of my guns ship out here but need some guidance in specific gun. I own a KEl TEC PLR 16 no mods at all, is this legal here. this gun is considered a long range pistol NOT A SHORT BARREL RIFLE LIKE SOME PEOPLE WOULD CALL IT please any helps would be greatly appreciated .

If it quacks like a duck.......

This would fall under the assault pistol category and would not be legal unless the magazine was welded on.

thanks for the info 

If it quacks like a duck.......

guess we have a duck in here then 

This falls under the "its really really cool so we can't have it here" law.....

Nice pistol

No can...this is considered an assault pistol...see HRS reg chapter 134

I assume that you have to sell it before coming down because it's illegal here. Now what happens if you didn't know the law and brought it down here. Would you have to forfeit it or can you sell it back somewhere in the Mainland.

Unless maybe you change the barrel to 16" and put a stock on, then register as a rifle.

Not sure...they may confiscate it or  if they are nice they'll give you opportunity to ship it back in the us mainland....i would call hpd for this question to be sure

Or right it off as "stolen/lost" during shipping on the way here...

I would do the same thing. But ill take a DONATION!!!

be sure to ask it as a "hypothetical question"

I'm fairly certain that if you take it to HPD, they'll take it from you.

I seem to remember a situation like this where someone tried to register an "assault pistol" and it was taken from him.

I think they'll only release it to a gun shop.

Your options are to sell it to gun shop/ have gun shop ship it out of state/ turn it in to HPD.
