No need all the info for the long gun permit. They r going to give u one to hold on to for a year and that's good to pick up long guns. U still gotta go back and reg tho.

Nice. Hey thanks for the info...

Need to update that fingerprinting is now down electronically.  I don't remember if my wife filled out a fingerprint card. 

I jus saw a guy getting printed today on the card. Unless...he was getting printed for something else? Isn't that the sexual predator registration place too?

they been using the ink lately.

I've changed it to "fingerprinting." That should cover both scenarios.

What is the procedure for a private sale of a long gun. Do i have to go up to the window with the firearm and the registration slip and tell them I'm selling it to another individual or does the buyer just have to take the firearm and their permit to acquire to the window to re-register it in their name?

I don't know how long the price change has been in effect or even if I happened to go and apply on a special day but the fee for the finger printing is $16.50 now and not $19.25 from what I was told before going in.

This was for my long gun permit btw

Fingerprinting for all permits was lowered to 16.50 within the last month or two.

I'll be able to pick up my long gun permit next week.


Lets say I have my handgun safety class certification and I'm about to apply for my hand gun permit. Will I need to wait another 2 weeks for to get the hand gun permit even if they did it already within the same month for my long gun permit?




I know that I'll have to renew my long gun permit annually, will I have to do the same with my handgun permit? and will I have to wait 2 weeks again when I renew both/either one?

Thank you

Acquiring a handgun is a different process. You have to apply for a permit for each handgun you wish to acquire. Here's the quick and dirty on a handgun purchase after you get your affidavit.
1) Take affidavit and ID to gun store, buy handgun
2) Take affidavit, ID, and info on handgun from the store to firearms division to apply for permit
3) Wait 2 weeks
4) Pick up permit from firearms division
5) Go to store with permit and pick up gun
6) Take gun back to police station to register

You have to wait 2 weeks for every permit regardless of when you got your last one. If you intend to pick up more than one handgun I would suggest buying them all at the same time so you can apply for the permits all at once.

I think it's 5 calendar days? Definitely not 2 weeks.

You'll probably have to reapply

Ah fuck.  Thanks guys

Ah I get it now. That was easier to understand, I was getting confused with a different explanation.

If I'm on step 4. After the 2 weeks do I still have only XX amount calendar days to pick that up too before having to reapply?


As for the long gun, let me just see if I understand it correctly.
1) Apply for permit at HPD
2) Wait 2 weeks
3) Pick up permit from HPD
4) Take permit and buy a rifle or shotgun
5) Bring permit, and new long gun to HPD to register
6) Happy shooting?

BTW the days and hours they're open is CRAP. I can't go before or after work! I'd have to call in sick or take a day off!

They could at least open for half day on saturday just for picking up permits!



I read through the excessive thread before posting here. I doubt I'd ever be considered an excessive buyer. One word = Wife. LOL

thanks for you for the links and info btw

Yes, the permit is only valid for ~5 days once available for pick up. They have a calendar on the wall to show you pick up dates based on your application date so you can ask them for verification. If you don't pick it up within that time frame it will expire and you will have to reapply and wait another 2 weeks.

1) Apply for permit at HPD
2) Wait 2 weeks
3) Pick up permit from HPD
4) Take permit and buy a rifle or shotgun don't forget your ID
5) Bring permit, and new long gun to HPD to register
6) Happy shooting?

You got it

BTW the days and hours they're open is CRAP. I can't go before or after work! I'd have to call in sick or take a day off!

Yup, that's the C&C for you. Taking a day off isn't so bad. You can get all the registration process done and then go to Koko Head

You have to complete step # 6).....

Last time I was down at HPD a couple came in with double barrel'd shot gun with no numbers on it . The officer behind the glass listened to the story about how it was a family heirloom, manufactured with no serial numbers and never registered. The officer said no problem and got it registered.
