Since it's a family heirloom I'm guessing it's pretty old and may have been manufactured before 1899. If it was then it doesn't need to be registered.

Correct me if Im wrong here, I thought all firearms had to be registered within the 72hr. arrival time.

Ok..forget everything I'll just deal with it at some point!

Very few questions are asked about the gun, how or when it got here. They are mostly worried about you. (personal info) Also there are no penalties for "late" registration.

That's for when you bring in guns from out of state. However, firearms manufactured before 1899 and black powder guns don't need to be registered. If you buy a gun here then I believe you have 5 days after you pick it up.

What about registering joint for a handgun?

I know I need to bring a marriage certificate but does the wife still need to be there? Is there a way to have my wife there instead of the certificate lol? We didn't get the cert yet hence the silly question even though I pretty much know the answer.

The answer is... Don't put her on your gun registrations.

Let her get her own.

She wont ever get her own and even if she did. I'd have no way of controlling what goes on with it or on it. That's beside the point though 

My cousin went through a divorce and because he had his ex wife's name on half his guns, she got those.

Even though she doesn't even shoot, she took them.

The ones that were in his name only, he got to keep.

Hi guys, im new here and very interested in owning a firearm. I have a question about DUI. In 2003 at the age of 23 (young and dumb), I did get a DUI conviction..... almost 9 1/2 years ago and was also placed into BISAC (Big Island Substance Abuse Counseling) which was court ordered. I really felt out of place there sitting next to ice heads and crack heads lol, anyways what are my chances of me obtaining a firearms permit? I do understand:

"If you were convicted of a DUI, you need to bring in a substance abuse assessment from District Court Drivers License Education. (If counseling was ordered, a medical clearance is also required)"

"Prior to a legal opinion issued by this Department in April 2006, some of the police departments interpreted a court-ordered alcohol abuse assessment following a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) as a form of mental health treatment and thus grounds for rejection (a DUI conviction was not in and of itself a disqualifying factor). These cases historically comprised the largest single portion of rejections each year."

And where would i get this medical clearance?
I am a sane Individual, i actually am a Radiologic Technologist here in Hawaii.

HRS 134-7

§134-7 (c) No person who:
(1) Is or has been under treatment or counseling for addiction to, abuse of, or dependence upon any dangerous, harmful, or detrimental drug, intoxicating compound as defined in section 712-1240, or intoxicating liquor;

Are you absolutely sure you were convicted? Most first time DUI offenders (in cases w/o injury), are given probation or a suspended sentence with the condition that they complete a substance abuse program.  Find the court order from your case and check it closely. If it was anything other than a conviction (i.e. administrative order) and you've completed the terms; you can apply for a expungement of your records.

As for a medical clearance, most choose their primary care physician. But I know some who've "cheated" by going to one of those $40/per visit rent-a-doc for them to sign off after a blood/urine test.

Thanks for your quick reply. As far as it being a conviction, that is pretty much how i understood it.  I pleaded no contest. No one was injured during my ordeal and i did hire a well known lawyer who represented me who had other charges dropped, such as exhibition of speed, illegal tint, illegal exhaust, altered vehicle.  I have completed the counseling courses.
The last thing i want is for me to take the firearms class  for $120 only to be denied of a firearms permit. What could i do in order to find out if i qualify or not? I was thinking of trying to get my paperwork done and apply for a longgun permit and see if i qualify for that.

Mahalo DuckFat. I appreciate all your help.

a friend lost his handgun reg paper. can he get a duplicate of it? if so, what does he need to do?

Just go to the police station he registered it at. I lost a registration paper once and they gave me a photocopy of the one they had on file.

But really, you don't really need the registration paper. Only thing I can think of is Kaneohe MCB (if you have base access) where they want to see the registration paper before you use it at their range.

magnum (HFR) checks for properly registered firearms for their range.

one more question:

a friend had a bunch of traffic tickets, no insurance the main one (felony), and got locked up for a little while. does that exclude him from being able to acquire?

Any felony, violent misdemeanor, or conviction with a sentence greater than a year means no more guns.

I didn't know a ticket for not having insurance was a felony

I heard if you get a ticket going something like "over 20" miles per hour, it's a felony.
