Does anybody have the military handgun memo if so please email it to me
Jradford4@gmail.com thanks

Your command should have it on file.

You should be able to get it from any of the gun shops too ( I know that YG has copies of them).

Try this thread:

HPD Firearms  division emailed me a sample when I did mine.

Just make sure you are still IN the military.

After I was discharged, I came home and wanted to purchase a pistol. I brought my memo (which was signed prior to me returning home) and my combat pistol cert (which allowed me to teach the operation and use of the M9 on a company/battalion level) to HPD, and they said that it didn't count because I wasn't in the military anymore. They said I would need to take the safety course, regardless of if I was training military police officers to use their pistols.

Gotta love HPD.

I heard the same thing too before, not sure why this is the case.  The memo states that you meet the state law by taking a firearms class.  Just cause you get out of the military doesn't mean all your firearms classes you took previously have been wiped from history.

Slightly OT, but I was down in Hilo getting another pistol permit going and ended up talking to a woman who was waiting to register a pistol.

She grew up in Hawaii, moved to Texas as a teenager, learned to shoot there and had a collection she enjoyed.

When she decided to move back she called HPD (thinking it was a state thing, not a county thing) and asked what she needed to do to bring her firearms with her.

She was told she needed to apply for a permit for each and every one of them. So she sold them before moving home.

My opinion of the "information" offered by HPD has sunk to a new low.
