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

...I'm definitely slowing down!

Ya I heard that too. I think it was reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon or something like that. They classify vehicles as deadly weapons.

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  :o

I told him I doubted it was a felony. He was only in there for like 2 weeks or something

No need. Just need a Permit to Acquire. Simple transfer if it's a long gun, but the two weeks still applies for handguns.

So I can have it mailed to me?  How do I change ownership since the original owner would not be there to transfer?

Hm. I didn't realize you weren't in the BI till now. Might have to send to FFL or meet in person. If I was still active in aviation, I'd see what I could do for ya, but it'll be a while till I get to that again.

Is the guy in the state?  I would hope if it's in the state one does not need to FFL.

Secondly face to face is easier/safer, technically one does not need to go to the PD to transfer the firearm from yourself to another, but if you are the receiving party then you most certainly must do that.

He's on Oahu, guy with gun is on BI. I'm pretty sure it IS legal to mail since it's not "interstate", but USPS might still frown on it.

If I'm given a gun by a friend can I just go register it.   He can't meet me to transfer at hpd, but Is giving me a copy of his registation.

NO

State law requires that the free acquisition of a firearm be first transferred to kingkeoni before any other such transaction can proceed.

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

A long as you got your permit to acquire, yes, you can do that. Or surrender it to KingKeoni to make it completely 100% legal ;D

I'm in a slightly unusual situation I read through the whole thread but did not find an answer-

I'm moving from Big Island to Oahu in a week.  I had planned to make a purchase (rifle) shortly after moving.  This being my first firearm purchase in Hawaii, I was under the impression that it was a two week waiting period, not a 2 week period to get a permit to purchase, so I didn't get the paperwork done in time here before I move.

3 weeks after I move, I'm going to become very busy for the next three months and It will be unlikely that I'll be able to get the time to go down to apply/pick up my permit.  I'm moving into a vacation rental  for the first month while I look for a permanent apt.  I really don't want to be shopping during the height of a potential panic post election.

I'm worried about showing up with my old BI address printed on my license. 

Is this a big deal?

Would they look sideways at me if I only showed up with a passport?

I've never moved in-state, would does anyone know if I'd be able to get a new DL with my vacation rental listed as the address? ( i.e. do I need to provide proof of my new address when changing my DL?  I don't remember the process when I moved out here)

From what I'm reading I should also go ahead and list my old BI doctor on the form then?

Am I wrong in reading that all i need is a valid photo ID and $16.25 in cash and to budget an hour at the permit office?

If the dealer is cool with it, you can pay for the gun and pick it up whenever you get the permit to acquire...

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with just a passport.  Still, tell them you just moved from BI and you have a new address, and they'll be cool.

If your BI doctor has your records, and you don't have one on Oahu by the time you go to HPD, list your BI doctor.

Have you gotten a permit to acquire before?  If so, call HPD up and see if you still have to pay it if you did it in the BI.  Also, if you go to HPD pretty early, the line shouldn't be too long.

I have not purchased a firearm in the state of Hawaii before.

Last question that just occured to me-

What is involved on the mental health waiver?

I mentioned to a nurse that I was taking St. John's wort over the counter for depression. (at the time my wife had just had a miscarriage, and was diagnosed with a potentially deadly health problem, a good friend of mine had been moved into hospice care due to terminal brain cancer, a nephew had been in a car accident and is now paralyzed from the neck down, and an uncle who has been battling leukemia for the past 10 years has taken a distinct turn for the worse in the space of 2 weeks.  It was a rough time.)  I've never been diagnosed nor treated by a doctor for depression nor taken any prescription medication.  The doctor has never made any mention of it nor did we discuss my personal problems.

I'm planning on applying for my license this tuesday after the holiday.  What exactly are the questions that are asked?  If the question is have I ever been diagnosed with depression I can answer truthfully, no.  If the question is have I ever been depressed, I'd have to answer yes, just like everyone else on the planet.  If my doctor is an anti-gun person, and decides to comb through my records to look for a reason to deny, what are the repercussions if he decides to screw me and say that I have a major mental problem due to my use of an over the counter medication?


Sorry if i'm reading too much into this.  My friends have told me that the line from the movie 'the hunt for the red october' was written with me in mind- 'he doesn't take a shit without making a plan'.

Also when I go to register the rifle, do I just walk around downtown honolulu with a rifle hanging over my shoulder?  Should I put it in a case?  Do I need a hard locking case?  Am I the only one to think its strange carrying a firearm into a police station?

If you have not been diagnosed as having depression, you're ok.

Also when I go to register the rifle, do I just walk around downtown honolulu with a rifle hanging over my shoulder?   Hell no
Should I put it in a case?  Do I need a hard locking case?  Yes, Hawaii law requires it to be in a case or the manufacturers box.
Am I the only one to think its strange carrying a firearm into a police station?  Yes, it's only you.   :rofl:
