Greetings to all. I have just joined as I have some questions regarding shooting on Maui, but first a little background. We currently live in California, but have a place in Kihei on Maui. We have both retired and plan to spend more time on Maui and I am trying to figure out how to enjoy some shooting while there.

For ranges I am aware of the Ukumehame range, but are there any other public or private ranges that I could use for a fee?

Now on to what I think is a tougher question. My guns are currently housed in California and so how do I get a gun for range use in Hawaii?  I have called around about renting a gun while on Island, but it sounds like that is a no-go. Since I have a place in Kihei can I buy a gun in Hawaii and store it there even though I am currently a resident in Cal? In this instance I think there are Federal laws in play, but I believe the Feds allow dual state residency for firearm purchases. Would Hawaii allow this? If I bring one of my guns over, what things do I need to do to bring it and use it legally?  If it makes any difference, my guns are mostly C&R Milsurps.

TIA for any help and I am sure I will have many more questions to come as the onion gets peeled back.

Welcome! Not sure about Maui but here's from the HPD website. I think they have an office you can register at on Maui but couldn't find it on their website.
