He says that if I have had a background check done for a job ( i work in healthcare) then I am already in the rapback "system" or "database" and that I would only have to pay the one-time $40-something fee.

Don't worry your $42 RAPBACK fee won't go to waste.  You'll get inserted into RAPBACK a second time.  So if you quit your job, the employment RAPBACK entry is cancelled, but you'll still have the firearms entry.

Think of it as a lifetime membership.  What a bargain!

Anyone recently had success in acquiring a permit with a Straub-based doctor? Not sure if it's still an issue, and I switched to HMSA only to get a Straub-based PCP *epic fail*.

Yep Straub all the way, picked up my permit last Thursday.

If you misplaced the original copy of the firearm registration. It was the type copy, do you have to registered it again with bill of sale. Need for my file. For long arm.

new member here...read through some of the pages but couldn't exactly find what I'm looking for.

My question is:  My wife and I are going to be first time gun owners, we both got our Handgun certificates, I purchased 2 handguns for us and want her to be registered for both...does she need to go to HPD twice?  Or does she go only once to get the background check and pay the fee?  or she doesn't have to go on the initial visit and just go for registration since I paid for the guns?  Thanks.

She'll have to go twice.
Once to apply for permit and once to complete co-registration. (2 weeks later)
Registration will be stamped "joint-registration"
At least that's how I had to do it when I put my wife on the registrations of guns I already owned.

Rocky would know for sure.

You have to bring the gun on the 2nd trip (after her 2 week waiting). Thats what i had to do.

Hpd also asked why im adding her on, because they said if we get divorced. She gets half the gun.

I told them im adding her because if im not with her, she cant legally possess/shoot the gun. HDF has women only skill builders that they kick spouses out (no watching).  The officer at the counter didnt know that about handguns.

At least rifles/shotguns i can "loan" her for up to 15 days without me being present.

You didn't get the memo?  That was done on purpose so you can justify buying TWO pistols.  ("But, Dear.  It's the LAW!")

Not all pistols are comfortable for both spouses, either. A .45 ACP for you, and a 9mm or .38 for her.

Plus, if there's a break-in, you each will be better off armed. 
Unless she shoots you  -- instead of getting a divorce  -- then never mind.

I tried the "let's buy 2" argument and it didn't fly with her.  But I do have to prepare as best we can for when Mr. Murphy strikes.  IDK what gun she would grab if she had to use it.  So if we had 1 that wasn't joint, that would probably be the one used even if it's dissembled and in the back of the safe when all hell breaks loose.

Thanks guys!  Was hoping she wouldn't have to go twice so she wouldn't have to waste too much of her PTO...hopefully we just pick good times when the lines are short.

I've noticed that Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest (weekend buyers).  Other than that, it's a crap shoot.

I would print out the medical forms and fill them out at home.  Unfortunately the carbon permits are not allowed outside the station and are given when you get there.

If there is a line, ask the people at the report window if they can get you one (carbon) so you can fill it out while waiting in line.

They do not allow blue ink anymore and all the initial areas have to be in print, not a real initial.  So if your name is Johnas Blayne, you have to print JB.

Parking hard to find today.  😭

What time is the parking hours for on beretenia street stalls?  Guess I’m here too early..

The ones in front of the straub clinic were blocked off for construction when I went last week Friday, fortunately there was tons of parking in their lot and the whole application process took maybe 10 or 15 minutes.  It's so much better now that they're separated.

Figured out the public parking lot on the makai side down the ramp.  I think the parking on beretenia opens up around 0830.  Oh no line when I left,  tomorrow is statehood day btw.

Yes.  Street parking on Beretania is open 8:30 - 3:30.  I try to get to HPD about 8:27-ish to snag one of the metered spots in front.  I sit in the truck for a couple of minutes until I'm sure it's safe. 

There are also metered spots on the side street beside the building, but you have to get there as someone is leaving. Those spots are almost always occupied.  They are available 24/7.

I believe street parking is free on state holidays with the exception of Kalakaua Ave at Kapiolani Park.  The firearm window might be closed, but at least you can park in front for free!
