On another note, what type of identification will be asked when I do finally make the purchase?  Will a DL suffice or because my application does have "born abroad" will I have to pull out my BC again?  Thanks.

The gun store will only require you to show 1) photo ID (such as driver's license) and 2) your permit for the long gun (valid for 1 year).

For handguns, you have to already have purchased the handgun before you apply with the HPD so I assume you are only asking about long guns.

Otherwise, you need to show 3) proof of your handgun training or your hunter's education, when you buy at the gun store, but you then have to go through the ENTIRE process again at HPD to get the permit for the handgun (that you already paid for). Haha.

Thanks, guess the flip side is what HPD will require in terms of ID.  Will I be required to show my BC again or will they simply accept the sales slip, application, DL and of course the long gun itself?

I don't think they need to see your BC anymore since you already got the Long gun permit.

Better get your passport ASAP for future use.

Also note that there is a new type of passport CARD (not valid for air travel yet, just land and sea). Check it out. Can keep in wallet.

Thanks PK, hope you're right about the BC. 
I've already submitted my app to renew my passport bu they required I submit all the documentation (including my only copy of BC), hence why I'm so concerned about it.  I didn't have it rushed since I'm not expecting to go on a trip abroad any time soon.  I just wanted to have it updated for future use including renewal of DL <G>.

Well you got one year to get the long gun registered. In the meantime you can buy and keep the gun at the LGS.

One year to register?  You mean the approved permit is good for one year right?  My understanding is that you need to register ownership of the gun within 5 days

You have 5 days from the date you fill out the federal ATF form at the gun shop.  If you pay for the gun and let the shop hold it, there's no time limit.  You won't fill out the ATF form until you pick the gun up.  That's when the clock starts.

Yes exactly.

Either wait until you get your passport, or if you cannot wait for your passport because you are afraid someone will buy that gun you absolutely must have, then go to the LGS, pay them the cash for the gun, and leave it there.

Once you get the passport, go to the LGS and get the gun. At that time you will fill out the forms. Bring it to HPD to register within 5 days of taking possession. (i.e., the LGS has transferred ownership of the firearm to you).

I plan to buy my friends shotgun but I forgot how to go about doing that.

Could some one point me in the right direction?

I bought a long gun from my friend. He only gave me a copy of his registration. Is that good enough for me to register?

I think he may need to be there to sign over the gun

Long gun, no need to sign.

What if it's an off island transaction?

What if I find an ad for a rifle/pistol on another island.  I set up the transaction for me to travel to that island.  Do I register the firearm at that island's police station?  Or do I just take it home to my island and register to my local PD within the 3 or 5 days?

I renewed my long gun permit. I'm in the waiting period.

Can I buy a rifle from my friend and take it with me to register when I pick up my renewed permit? Maybe I could keep it in the car, get my permit, walk back to the car and get the rifle to register it?

Also, name, address, phone number all I need to register a rifle bought from my friend? I don't need the barrel length, make and model or anything like that?



I know I asked this just a few posts away but the responses I got were pretty vague and not even in complete sentences. Forgive me for wanting specifics, but it's always better safe than sorry especially with firearms.
Thanks in advance

Your friend can loan the rifle to you, so there's no problem having it with you at the police station.  Can't loan handguns, but long guns are okay.

If you have the registration control number (G- number) from the friend's permit to acquire, it would help expedite things.
