I wouldn't worry about the the doctor thing, I don't have a regular doctor either and went through the registration process with no problem.

Ok...

Take a deep breath...

It's all gonna be ok.

Just bring in your firearm, stand in line for 6 hours, hand it to the officer and state "brought this with me from out of state"

The officer will ask if its your first time registering a gun in Hawaii. You'll reply "yes"

He will give you a bunch of forms to fill out, you fill them all out and then you will need to be finger printed.

Bring $16.50 exact change in cash. Hand it to the officer.

Then you'll get finger printed.

You wait a few minutes and he will present you with a shiny new Hawaii firearm registration slip.

You sign the slip and keep the top copy.

Hand him the rest of the copies.

Your out of state ID is ok.

Your out of state doctor is ok.

Then you're finished, you'll say to yourself, "this wasn't so bad"

I would recommend applying for a long gun permit at the same time.

You don't need to pay for an out-of-state registration, unless you apply for a long gun permit.

Quick question:

If my last primary care physician was some doctor I saw just two times whose name I don't remember at the Spark Matsunaga VA center at Tripler about 3 years ago, do I need to list this guy when I apply for my permit or should I just write "no primary care physician"? He never diagnosed me with any psychological disorder, so I should be OK right?

Yup.
If u got no dr, u got no dr. So put that.

That's what the guy at the window told me when I first applied years ago. I have one now but back then I didn't.

Just put "Tripler" as the doctor

Doesn't Tripler = Butcher?

No =crippler

from the time you pick up the permit from HPD to acquire a handgun, how long is that good for? 
meaning how long do you have to pick up the gun from the store, is it 2 weeks?

also after you pick up the handgun from the store, how long do have to bring it to HPD to register, 3 days?

went through this a couple times but I forget exactly.  just trying to plan out my next acqusition.

Idk. I usually pick it up then go gun store same day, go back hpd the same day then go shoot it...same day.

I would love to do that, but my work schedule is not that forgiving.

If I recall from last time it is 10 days to pick up and 5 days to register. (this includes weekends so if you pick it up on friday you have to get in by tuesday)

Does anyone know if the Kona PD calls you when your permit is ready or do you just show up and expect it to be ready? It is day 15 after applying for my long guns permit and I havent heard anything. The lady doing the forms was telling everyone to check their info especially the phone so they can call you... So i assumed they would call?

I was told to call the day it was supposed to be ready. They'll tell you if they have it or to call again the next day. I'm pretty sure it on you to call and check if it is ready yet.

Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow and hope they have it ready.

So much for hoping I could go down and get my permit today, Even got off work early by chance. Give them a call to see if its ready only to find out that its a furlough friday

Haha I did the same thing last month, went down to the station and thought to myself oh wow the line is small, only to realize it was because it was closed.

Hi guys, what happens when you don't give exact change? What if I gave them $17 and said keep the change? Would they take it?


Also for the 72 hour out-of-state registration, just to be sure, they have no way of knowing how long it's been since you arrived with the firearm correct? Today would be 72 hours, but the line was ridiculous so I couldn't stay. I will probably try to go back tomorrow.

Sure, they'll gladly take your money. Sometimes they will give change, but it would be the exception not the rule.

They don't ask for a copy of a plane ticket...
