Long Gun Restriction in Hawaii
« on: April 21, 2015, 04:50:46 PM »
What are the restrictions for long guns in Hawaii? I am trying to purchase a Ruger 10/22 50th Anniversary edition on Gallery of Guns but it states that it cannot be sold to my area due to restrictions. The only difference I can see between the 50th anniversary and a regular 10/22 is the 25 round magazine. I didn't think we had such a restriction here though.

If that magazine can be used in a pistol it would be restricted. Silly, I know, welcome to Hawaii.   :crazy:

The bx25 mag is the issue.  Since ruger sells a charger 10/22 pistol which takes any 10/22 mags including the bx 25 or the black dog drum mag it can fall into the assult pistol category.   Also if I recall right a few chargers made it into hawaii before hpd caught on.

Yeah, I bought one and had to sell it.

Stupid law.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

That gun is not restricted in Hawaii.

Instead of going to gallery of guns, go to X-ring or OGC and have them order it for you.

It will probably be the same price without some ignorant (to Hawaii's weird laws) person telling you it's restricted.
