If forced disarmament ever came about, I am sure it will happen on Oahu first and I would hear about it long before they came door to door in Puna.  By that time they wouldn't find any guns or ammo on my property.  Good luck trying to find them in the bushes, forests and lava tubes of Puna.

I'll be down at the docks renting a boat to load mine in for a quick hunting trip on a neighbor island.

An unfortunate boating accident can come in handy.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I'm sure some people are stupid enough to try, but if a full confiscation is announced, I predict the state will be causing more problems than they would be preventing.

They might be able to suspend certain rights, but the logistics and risks involved in taking hundreds of thousands of guns with the understanding they will have to store and eventually return them is more than the state would be capable of doing in the midst of whatever emergency they are trying to manage.
In 1990, there were over 1.5 MILLION firearms in Hawai.

This has grown by approximately 20,000 more locally registered per year not including those brought in from out of state.

    So your going to try and take over 2 MILLION  PRIVATE FIRE ARMS ?  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:   :popcorn:

They'll just make a few (dead?) examples of people who "resist" and repeat Feinstein's famous "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in!" Knowing, or I should perhaps more correctly say, "being familiar" with Hawaii, they will get a 90%+ compliance rate. Maybe 98%? That leaves a very "manageable" number of people to look up on the registration, permit, RapBack, etc. government lists of firearms owners, and take "appropriate action". But, like I said before, "it can't happen here".  :shaka:

The smaller the boat, the more plausible the  story   accident.
