Proper transfer of a handgun in Hawaii
« on: April 10, 2012, 07:54:26 PM »
I searched for it on the forums, but I wanted a clear cut answer on this.  Before I buy or sell a handgun on the forums I wanted to know the proper way to transfer a handgun in Hawaii. 

If I were selling can I just give the buyer the info on the handgun: make, type, cal, barrel length, serial number...

He/her goes down with the info to apply for a permit.  Wait 14 days.  Final transfer takes place at HPD after the wait period, where the seller brings/signs the gun over and receives payment? 

Or, can the buyer pick up the permit after the wait...take to seller...seller signs permit, takes payment hands over handgun.  Buyer to complete registration at HPD. 

Does the actual transfer take place after the 14 days where the seller actually has to sign a document?

Thanks in advance.

Yes and yes...

You give the buyer the info  (make, type, cal, barrel length, serial number...)

And they go to apply for a permit.

After 14 days they bring the permit to you. Where you do this is up to you. A lot of people like to do it at HPD just to make sure it's done properly. That however is not necessary.
They can bring the permit to you and you sign and date the back and hand over the pistol to them. They in turn go take it to HPD to register it.
When I do it that way, I like to take a picture of their permit front and back just in case.
If I go to HPD to transfer then that step is not necessary.

Remember the most important thing is that when you sell any firearms that you PM me first to see if I want to buy it, then after that, if I don't want it then you post it for sale.

Thank you.

I'll just post my rifle permit on the forum so all the sellers can expedite the sale of their guns.

Thank you, thank you.

Stainless or blued doesn't matter. Yes, you need seller info. Don't forget serial number as well. It's the same application form as the long gun permit except that you need to fill in all the details where the red "long gun permit" stamp is.
