OK, so after I pick up my handgun permit from HPD, how long do I have to get my handgun from the dealer and return to HPD? According to the HPD website, I have 5 days to return to HPD AFTER I acquire the handgun. This doesn't tell me how long I have to acquire the handgun from the time I pick up the permit. Anyone know?

Permits in Hilo are good for 10 days.  Should be the same for you.

2 questions about my wife and her first gun.

Handgun:
My wife and I both have affidavits required for purchasing a pistol.

After purchasing a handgun can I go by myself to apply for the permit then register it under the both of us without her being with me if I bring our marriage cert?


Rifle:
Only I have a long gun permit, same as above. After buying the rifle can I register it under the both of us it by myself with the use of the marriage cert.?



The reason she wont be there is because her work schedule doesn't allow her time to go when HPD is open.

Thanks in advance

No and no.

She has to be there

Thanks KK

You cannot register 2 people under 1 permit. Your wife must have a permit and you must have a permit and you both must be present. That goes for rifles and handguns. Your marriage cert. will you no good at HPD. That's only for crap like medical coverage and drivers license.

Thanks!

Your marriage cert. will you no good at HPD.

You still need to bring an "original" every time you do a joint registration.

Yup remember to bring your original marriage cert and original affidavits.

I am surprised at all of you! Trying to make those guns look believable. Taking pictures of those guns after removing the plastic orange tips! 

The first post is confusing. Is the Permit to acquire valid for 6 days or 1 year? It says both. So which is it?

The long gun permit is good for 1 year, the handgun permit is only good for 6 days and only for a single purchase.

aaaahh thanks!  I heard about the ridiculous lines at HPD. I wonder if it would be easier to fly to another island and get a permit there? lol

Anyone know what days they will be open next week (first week of 2012)? Also if there's any special hours. Thanks!

how do i sell my gun if the gun is joint registered to my wife and I? do we both need to go down to hpd to transfer out of our name or can i just call them? I'm going to sell the gun to a FFL licensed holder.

Technically neither of you have to go if you don't want to meet the individual at HPD, though it is a good idea. You just need to write up a bill of sale, save a copy for yourself. If its a rifle, the individual who bought it from you takes the bill of sale, rifle, and their permit to HPD for registration. When i did a private sale I was told by the hpd officer to keep the old registration for the sold gun and write transferred on it to keep in my records.

Uhh where do you all usually park?  I know there's some meters around and you can park in the HPD visitor lot, however there's a 2 hour limit on the meters and sometimes it can take longer than that to get your stuff done there...don't want a ticket.  Someone save my place in line while I go put coins in the meter

I've saved several peoples spots in the past few months, during periods of long waits it seems common. I'm sure someone would be willing to hold your spot.
Makes me glad I live walking distance from hpd.

Some guys park at Blaisdell and walk it.
