^^And the last 2x I parked at Blaisdell, the gate was up. Free parking. Chee! Chance em u may get lucky too. Otherwise I think the sign said $6(I think ...might be from a different place cuz I been to a few lots lately)

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to post these questions...

My family is considering a move to Hawaii.  Still not sure which island, but definitely not Kauai.  We've visited Oahu twice and plan on visiting BI and Maui next. 

My first big question regarding HI's state laws is this:  What if an out-of-stater moves to HI with firearms?  Just need to register them, correct?

Question #2:  What if a person owns a LOT of firearms, say a couple hundred or more?  Would a person in that predicament have to haul all of them down to the PD, or would they send a team out to your house to make the process easier?  How long does it take to register 1 firearm? (So I can calculate how many days it would take to register them all?)

Question #3: Because it was made before 1899, I do NOT have to register my 1892 Krag rifle, correct?

Question #4: Are there any weird restrictions I may have missed, like a handgun with too short of a barrel, or rifle with folding stock? (None of my firearms are NFA weapons, and thereby free from any federal registration.)

Question #5:  Since I already own them, is there any need to obtain a permit to acquire? (Say, so that they can verify I'm not kuku for coco-puffs?)

Question #6:  Is the 10-rd magazine limit just on handguns, or is it also on rifle magazines?

Lastly, and this is off-topic, so I'm sorry, but...  After checking the FAQ on ranges, I noted none were listed on the BI, and only 1 was listed on Maui, yet, there's plenty of gunshops on both those islands...  Where does one shoot at on BI and Maui, other than that one range listed on Maui?  (The answer to this may help narrow down which islands to look at moving to.)

#1  Correct.

#2  Yes, you'll have t haul them all down to the PD.  In Hilo, the clerk will probably come out to the parking lot, so at least you don't have to haul them all up the stairs.

#3  Correct.

#4  Assault pistols (like the Tech 9; also includes AR and AK based pistols)) are banned.  Folding stocks and small pistols are fine.

#5  You don't need a PTA to register imports.

#6  The 10 round limit is on magazines that fit into a pistol, which is somewhat vague, since there are pistol versions of a lot of rifles.  No need to take any magazines along when you  register guns.

As for places to shoot...there are some private clubs, and lots of people shoot in their back yards.  Most of the Big Island is zoned ag (agricultural), all you need on ag land is a safe backstop (so the bullets don't leave your property).  FWIW, the Big Island is generally more gun friendly (and rural) than the other islands. 

Anyone know if I purchased a complete rifle, can I just bring in the lower receiver when registering it, or do I have to bring in the whole rifle?

Receiver only is OK

Receiver only is OK

Thanks, that will make it a whole lot easier.   

Since I hadn't made a long gun purchase since picking up my Arsenal 4 months ago I decided to order a savage mkii from Buds yesterday and when I went to look in my safe I could not find my permit to acquire . Am I correct in assuming my dumbass will have to reapply and go through the 2 week waiting period all over again, or is there a chance that they can replace a lost permit?

There was another thread on here asking that.  I believe if its valid they can issue another one. That was the concenses. Anywho get it all figured out before the gun show buddy

Problem


If you "lose" your permit to acquire rifles and go down to HPD to replace it, you have to fill out a police report staring the details of your dumnassidness.
Then you can reapply for a permit and wait two weeks.

I would spend a little longer looking for it.

There is no "replacing" a lost permit.

I have a few questions
sorry in advance for the noobish questions that i am about to ask. I am gonna take the handgun safety course soon and i wanted to clear things up before i do.

1, I have a DUI from 5 years back, what do I have to do to pass the background check.
2. I dont have a doctor, how do i get me medical clearance. \
3. Could I apply for both a long gun and pistol permit at the same time, if yes, will i have to pay the fbi background check fee twice or wait in line twice?

thank you in advance for the help

i can only answer one of the three

3>
you can apply for both at the same time, in fact, the people at the desk encourage you to do this when you get your handgun permit
pay once, fingerprint once, wait once
plus the clearances are the same, so you won't have to do them again

can anyone that has had a DUI and still got a permit to aquire let me know what to do. I cant seem to find the info anywhere. I know that I have to go to the dept of driver education and get a substance abuse assessment . the part that im confused about is what counts as counseling? i know i had to go to group classes, but what do they mean by counseling? 

sorry of this has already been answered but i searched for it and i haven't found an answer.

After I pick up my permit from HPD, how long do I have to bring the gun back to get registered?

Im gonna be applying for the permit on march 25th. Ill probably get my permit on the 8th. I dont get paid till the 12th, and that is when ill give the guy the money to buy the gun (private owner purchase)
will that work out?

Long gun permit is good for a year before you have to renew it. During that time, if you purchase a long gun, you have 5 days, (not business days, regular days)  to register the rifle.  So its from the time you buy the rifle, not when you get your permit.

If its a handgun, I believe you have a week to register it. After that point the permit is no longer valid.

Jus gotta pick em up and reg em right away

After picking up my handgun; how long do I have to register? I thought it was 5 days but someone told me 48hrs.

Now I don't know?

Handgun is 3 days. This includes the day you pick it up.

If were going by HRS its obviously 5. 3 for out of state and pistols aren't explicitly mentioned. 3 is just what I was told the first trip I ever made to HPD which was for a pistol purchase.

"Every person who acquires a firearm pursuant to section 134-2 shall register the firearm in the manner prescribed by this section within five days of acquisition." 

That's calendar days.  HPD Firearms section is closed on weekends.  Actual deadline may be sooner than 5 days if your 4th and/or 5th day(s)  are on Sat/Sun.

So 5 days then. Thank you!
