Also even if the firearm is already yours and you are just having it shipped in to an FFL, DO NOT LET THEM OPEN THE PACKAGE. Make sure when shipped it states clearly and largely TO BE OPENED BY ADDRESSEE. If they open the package it must go into their inventory and you will have to go through the acquisition process. Talk to the FFL prior to shipping so they know whats going on.

Got PMs and will followup tomorrow.  Thank You, appointment taken.

I have the following appointment that I will not be able to use:
3 or less acquisition on Oct 12th @ 2:40 and
3 or less registration on Oct 26th @ 3:30. 
PM  me and  we can arrange a time for me to cancel my appointment and you can register.
I would suggest off hours, after 4pm or on a Sunday.

I'll take them, PM sent

Thanks!

Thank you Eric for the appointment to register.  Too bad someone sniped the PTA but I was able to find one today that works out fine with the registration date.

Had my PTA this morning. Got there 20 minutes before my appointment time and 2 were inside. Waited about 5 minutes and both guys gone. In the 50ish minutes total time I was there, I saw just the 2 ahead of me, 1 guy with me for a pistol permit and nobody waiting when I left. So I'd say in almost an hour, they saw 4 people. And lots of names on the appointment book not scratched off as show ups. Again you have to wonder did anti gun people steal the appointment times just to jam up the system.

They were also pissed that I paid cash. I had exact change. Guess they made up their own internal policy to no longer accept cash. The girl at the counter said as of yesterday they would no longer accept it. Hmmm. Just a FYI for you all.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be there tomorrow to see for myself. I’ve had suspicions that anti-2A people had a hand in the logjam, but I have to think it’s also due to a lot of inconsiderate people that no-show. I’m hoping HPD allows standby walk-ins eventually.

At the registration side doing temp check for appointment @ 10, 1 was registering and another picking up his permit.

I have a habit of reading new forms.  Temp check form says if you answer yes to any question you cant complete the appointment.

1 guy was already filling out a PTA form.  Another guy came in after I left @ 1015.

6 appointments per hour, 8 hour days (8am-4pm), 5 days a week, 13 weeks (90 days) equal 3,120 appointments.
I know there are alot of new gun owners?
Also, if all appointments were for 3, then that would mean 9,360 purchases/registrations?

My registration appointment was at 11:05 yesterday.  I was out the door at 11:18.

I can’t fathom the thought of wanting a pistol firearm today.
That means if I go to a LGS today and purchase a pistol October, 9th 2020.  I will not be able to take it home till next year January, 22nd 2021 that is if my background check clears and assuming the LGS is open on January 22nd.  Crazy times we live in.  Does that mean everyone on Oahu needs a gun?  That’s what it seems like.  I’m glad I have everything I need now.  “You’ll get your gun next year”.  You need to have a lot of patience or you don’t need it now kind of attitude. Absurd very absurd

I say, if there's a handgun purchase that needs to be made, go for it! Disclaimer; I had a PTA reservation on October 30th to fall back on. I went with a friend from work to SEC on September 9th. He was next on the list for a Gen 5, Glock 17 MOS and one came in for him, on hold for one day, to purchase. SHOUTOUT to Security Equipment! , I see these things going for $800 on Gun Broker but their price was $640. I also ended up buying a handgun  . The following Sunday, I decided to try for an earlier reservation and got one for both me and my friend for September 14 and 15. We applied and picked up our handguns on September 30th. I tried a few times every night to get a reservation to register, then on Tuesday night I got a reservation for Wednesday morning, October 7th.

Yeah, the systems sucks, but I was able to purchase a handgun, acquire it and register it in less than a month. So don't let the system stop you from purchasing a firearm.

HPD loves the appointment system due to these reasons:
1) It puts a cap on how many people can apply for or register a gun. This makes it harder for people to complete these activities, discouraging people from making purchases. HPD does not want more guns in the hands of the citizens.

 2) This cap on signups also puts a limit on how much work they need to do in an hour. All they need to do is prepare to do work for however many slots are available per hour. This effectively allows them to parcel their work in bite size chunks. In the past, 20 people could show up per hour, which adds pressure and makes them have to hustle, something they certainly don't want to complete. This is no more due to the appointment system, making their job easier.

No one should be surprised that the antis are making false appointments. There are no penalties so what's to stop them from doing this unethical behavior.

A couple of months ago I got a registered letter (I had to pick it up from the post office the next morning because I wasn't at home to accept it) from HPD informing me I missed my appointment to register. I called them to inform them that I didn't miss my appointment, which was pretty easy to prove. They apologized. If there are a lot of missed appointments, HPD must be spending a lot on mail.

I also registered a Polymer 80 pistol frame with my long gun permit at the same time . . . no drama

Went down today with cuz to see if he can give his registration appointment to me (it's a later date). Was told we both have to be present on the day of and they can't do anything on the comp then and there. So boo birds on that

Do you think we have enough people unable to get a registration time to sue the city?  For breaching our 2nd amendment rights?  I would be willing to donate to that.
