Grandfathered firearms in Hawaii
« on: November 18, 2013, 03:16:08 PM »
how does this work exactly? does it affect value at all? so all future owners of grandfathered guns need not register them? is the process of selling one the same as any other non-grandfathered firearm/long-gun sale?

The buyer will have to register them.  Shouldn't be a big deal.

i see, so not having to register grandfathered firearms only applies to those acquired before 1994?

Yeah new owner has to register them..  I had to do this a few times.  Can be kinda a pain if the gun has a import retail history in hawaii.  I have a 1972 marlin that was still registered to jc penny when I got a hold of it.  They had to check the s# to ensure it had no flags on its history.  My winchester model 94 had no history in hawaii.  Hpd had to call seller to verify the history of how gun got to hawaii.

Acquired and owned.  Any time they are transferred since 1994, registration applies.  As BigKahuna mentioned, it does cause HPD a little extra work, so don't try this if you're in a hurry.  Not that any trip to the HPD firearms window should be done if you;re in a hurry.

I've bought one and its really no problem with registration.  But  the gun did not have a serial number so I to had to have one engraved into the receiver.   Kind of a sad moment when you hear the electric pencil cutting into the receiver.
