I don't know if this goes here or in off-topic, but I'll put it here.

What are some of things you've seen while at HPD ?

I've seen guys sweep the whole room.
Saw a guy have the bolt from his rifle fall on the floor twice today.
Saw a guy who couldn't lock back his slide.

I personally bought a revolver from a fellow forum member, transfer took place just outside HPD.  (Didn't take it out of the case cause I know the guy)
Went to the window and popped the cylinder and almost shat myself as it looked completely loaded.
Was completely loaded with snap caps. Boys behind the window laughed their asses off at me.

Edit: crazy deleted. Thanks Tom.

I don't know about crazy things, but twice, I've been there when a man (not the same man twice, two different occurrences with two different men) was trying to register a shotgun he'd inherited from his dad.  The serial number (both times) was stamped under the furniture, and the men didn't know how to disassemble the shotguns.  These were both old-style, hinge action "pop off the forearm" types, and I was able to assist them.  I guess we could file that in the "trying to register a gun that you don't know how to operate" category.

lessee.... I injured myself once by carrying all the guns I brought back from a mainland trip in to register at once.

Oh yeah. I was there when a guy had a tripod mounted 50 cal. That couldn't fit under the window.

Thing looked like a 20mm cannon.

I saw a officer hand back a firearm registration to a guy and told him to fill out the medical section,he damned lost his mind trying figure out whos his physician or who he's covered by, after 10minutes his hands on head thinking, he called his wife and got the answer in 10 seconds.

While waiting in line in the lobby, several times I've seen guys walk up to the glass window telling the asian lady behind the glass he was an SO and handed her an Id. Before the lady takes the Id she puts on latex gloves. I was wtf was an SO? Gone back several times to register and seen the same thing happens several times. Finally one day I read the sign on the window. SO registrations Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then it dawned on me SO= sex offender. I lost my sh!t in line and broke in stitches. The SO in line looks back at me and I tell him "I get the latex gloves now" dude walks out without registering. On my way out 20 mins later I see him walking back in trying to register again. I couldn't help myself and blurted out "Ohh yeah that's right, it's tuesday" and the guy walks out again!

that's a good 1

I've been sitting back against the wall facing the window while waiting for a registration to be typed, when somebody walks up to the window with a rifle.  He uncases the rifle with the muzzle pointing to his left -- directly at the head of the guy sitting at the little table!   

One particular day, three people in a row did it, and the guy in the chair was getting pretty annoyed.  He never got annoyed enough to say anything to either the rifle owners or the officers at the window.  If I had been sitting there, I would have made a comment to the owner concerning his unsatisfactory muzzle discipline.

Since then, I'm very careful to uncase long guns muzzle to the right if there's someone sitting at that table.   

I've seen people go to HPD three times to legally get a handgun. Honestly, I have.

The guy set you up!!!

I seen the line stretch all the way past the parking garage elevator.

1. Last time I was there I was registering 3 C&R guns (2 Rifles and 1 Pistol) and took them over an hour and a half to do the paperwork. I had to go back and feed the parking meter.

2. Plenty of muzzle sweeps around the room. But one day the guy sitting at the table was whacked pretty good in the head by a shotgun.

3. I tried to register a Ruger 10/22 without a stock and a magazine. They refused numerous times because they kept telling me the gun was not complete. I kept telling them the only thing missing was the stock and mag. And they kept insisting some other part of the gun was missing and wanted me to bring it back when I put it back together. About that time I told them they just registered 4 AR lower receivers for me two weeks before. I also told them all the parts they saw was going to be removed and I was going to only keep the receiver and replace everything else. They finally registered it.

Speaking of receivers......beware the guy with the small box.

In line one day and guy in front of me has a small box.
Figure, cool today will be a quick register.
Guy pulls out 10 stripped lowers.
Wasn't so quick after all.

I've haven't seen anything crazy happen on my trips to HPD, but I have watched on two separate occasions people picking up a carry permit. I assumed they were permits for open carry or LEO, never got the chance to ask.

Several years ago, I went in to register a few firearms. I believe about 4 pieces, all military style black guns.
There was a rather sexy middle aged local Japanese lady about 30's several spots behind me. It was a most likely a first time owner with a pistol to register.
Since I had four guns, she approached the window while the Officers were still founding with my firearms. Both of us finished at around the same time. As I was packing away my shit. I get a tap on my lower back, I turn around and it was her. She said in a rather sexy voice, "wow! BTW You got some real cool guns." 
It was rather pleasant to hear such a comment at HPD and from a girl.

"Middle aged"? "About 30's"? From my perspective she is a youngster that is just broken in. 

last time I went to apply for permit to acqire handgun officer said, "only one?"
made me feel shame i only bought one.
ok, next time!

Funny how the boys in blue get to know us. 

Can you imagine the stories they have ?

She gave me her MSN messenger, but I never contacted her.
