dayum! 

wow...thx for the heads up. 

what if you dont make it inside before it closes bc you are waiting for hours in line bc line is really long.
and you cant register your gun withing the alotted time frame.
will HPD let you extend those days bc of the unusual wait time?
or will we have to go through the process all over again.

for instance, a handgun you have 2 days to register from the time you pick it up.
what if the line is so ridiculously long and you just cant register it in time bc of that.
my work is such that it is next to impossible to take a day off on short notice.

That alone makes me glad I haven't bought anything.  Hang in there fellas!

Shit you not...  Just drove by and the line is down the stairs on the Diamond Head of the lobby and around the corner to the 3rd tree on Hale Makai Street (that little street that runs perpendicular to S. Beretania).  Good luck, bruddahs!! 

My friend who standing in that line sent me some pics.  At first I couldn't figure where they were standing because there was no roof overhead and I then noticed they were on the sidewalk on the sidestreet!!

When I was standing in line this is exaclty what was happening and had happened to many there.

On that day the Sgt stated he would waive the days to register due to mitigating circumstances.  As far as getting bumped up to the front of the line because you waited before, that is not happening.  One good thing HPD is doing is coming out periodically to ask if people are there to pick up permits only, in those cases you give them your ID and they bring out your permits...............then you gotta wait to register.............pretty brutal.

Talked to a guy picking up a rifle at OGC.  He said he went to apply for his permit to acquire for a handgun yesterday.  He was there at 5am and he was the seventh guy in line.  I can just imagine what the line will be like next Monday.

Getting there at 5 am is still a 3-4 hour wait.   Holy crap.  I still have to register my hand gun in about 3 weeks. 

Since it seems like the local gun shops aren't restocking, maybe they'll run out of guns to register except for a few private sales and out of state transfers and such.   

Is the registration process taking longer behind the window? When I registered my firearms, I think I only waited about 5 min. for each one.

Once you get to the counter the registration time is still the same.  Or at least it was when I went on Wednesday.   Its getting in the door and to the counter that takes forever.

Wow what the f*** is going on? It really is the end of the world!

so glad i pulled the trigger on my rifle in september.  i waited in a line of 15 people max, and it never went out the door.

Came here around 545 am, there is about 30 to 40 people in front of me and now it's 705 am and not open yet there is about 30 people behind me dam!!!

 

I feel bad for you guys...... I'm in and out within 10 minutes on Maui.

thank you for the reply.   

I'm gonna try my best to wait patiently and come early.

its nice to hear that HPD is understanding the gun owning community.

I don't think that the law allows for such extensions legally.  Therefore, You and They are in non-compliance with the law as written.

But, IANAL, so what do I know...

In order to facilitate compliance with the law they ought to have the dept open 24-7 to ensure everyone can comply.  Then see how fast the wheels get turning.

However, such suggestion may have many undesirable consequences. 

can someone please tell  the presidental motorcade to detour and  drive by HPD HQ next week...so that he can see the "short"  line of LEGAL gun owners.   We than can thank him and congratulate him for being the Firearms Salesman of the Year!!!    again!!!  Hana Hou  All the local gun stores should give him a ammo can and say "Thanks for a wonderfull end of year record sales"!!!
