FML they charged me 150.00 cash and I did a renewal last month 🤔😡

Just dropped off my LTC renewal application for 2 pistols. Confirmed only $50 each gun since both are renewals.

they charged me $150 to renew also

Did you tell them you already have a valid LTC for that pistol. And that you are just renewing it? They lady told me they only charge $150 if that pistol was never registered as a CCW pistol

That's not cool of HPD. They should already know who has one in their database, or once you picked up your license, they should have refunded you the $100.

I agree they should already know, then again HPD doesn’t want the public to carry so they will probably say its our responsibility to tell them we are renewing.  When I dropped off my application the girl was very friendly. She accepted my app as if I was applying for the first time.  I wouldn't expect her to know whether I was renewing or applying for the first time. She didn’t ask me a single question. Just made sure all my paperwork was filled out. It wasn’t until after I told her i was renewing my existing LTC that she told me it would only cost $50     i didn’t catch her name but she was really nice and would like to give her a shoutout.  She noticed one discrepancy on my application that she didn’t have to tell me about, but she did and I was able to make the correction. Both of my pistols are 9mm. The glock registration says the caliber is 9x19, the sig registration says the caliber is 9mm.  When I filled out my application I wrote down 9mm for the glock pistol caliber.  She said the new chief is so strict if the application doesn’t match the registration exactly, the person in charge will deny my application and make me reapply all over again. Luckily I printed out 2 copies and was able to re-fill out that one page for the glock and listed the caliber as 9x19 to match my registration. Crazy how 9x19 and 9mm is the same thing but the chief will deny the app for something that minor. Really appreciate this woman for taking the time to read through my entire application to make sure it shouldn’t get pushed back.  Its a good thing I didn’t catch her name because I wouldn’t be surprised if she got in trouble for helping me out.

At this point, I’m almost certain you’re talking about Hawaii Police Department and not Honolulu Police Department. Honolulu charges $150; there are no renewals this year as the law has changed. Hawai’i should also be charging $150, but I’m not about to say anything.

Correct. Maybe I should have made that clear
In the beginning.  It is on Big Island.  I don’t see why that would Matter tho because the new law is a statewide law isn’t it?  Their website even states the LTC is valid statewide

Right here is where I see the BS in the State's CCW laws.

Honolulu is recognizing the new 2024 laws and treats the application as a new application, not a renewal.

I thought the new 2024 firearm laws were statewide. I guess the different counties still have the power to make their own rules.  Oh well.

Hawaii County is supposed to be charging $150 as of this year as all applications this year are considered new applications.

But if no one says anything, then it’ll remain $50 or whatever. 👀

Idk. They took my $100 for my 2 renewals. Both of my LTC’s were issued under the old law. This is my first time applying/renewing with the new 2024 laws.  Tbh I wont be surprised if they tell me my license is ready but I gotta cough up an extra $50 lol. Just another hoop im obviously gonna jump through to get the damn license lol
