Gun Laws in Hawaii

I have been on the HPD website pertaining to the gun laws in Hawaii and if I am reading it right it states I can bring in a out of state gun as long as i register it at HPD within 72 hours of it arriving in Hawaii.

Anyone care to chime in? I am looking for facts not here say so please no I heards or I thoughts.

Jess...

I would contact

Young Guns in Mapunapuna near Servco...

They are advocates of gun ownership and can give you as much details as you want...

833-4867
2885 Paa St. Suite 100

Alaska passed a gun law maybe 7 years ago allowing people to carry concealed weapons if they have no criminal record and take a special concealed weapon course...

Now that the good guys can carry guns as well as the bad...crime has reduced there...interesting...

Not going to happen in Hawaii,...lol!!
If you own a weapon and bring it in, you just got to register it I think. If you purchase a weapon outside Hawaii, it has to go thru a gun dealer (Magnum, Young guns, Security,..etc) and I think they charge you a fee.

In Alaska you can carry a concealed firearm as long as you can legally own a firearm. No permit, no classes.

Unless things have changed within the last several years, it stands that you get a clean background check and attend special classes to essentially be authorized to carry a concealed weapon. Of course you cannot carry it any public office such as the Federal Building, post offices, libraries etc...

I've been a resident of Alaska for a long time...from 1978 to 2002...

^^^interesting...

thanks for the update on this...new to me...my brother never mentioned this at all...

It's pretty common place to carry a gun when you go fishing in the boonies...we typically carry a 10mm and 40sw in shoulder holsters when we fish...never once had had we had to un-holster them...

Your best option for a CCW is the Utah non-resident; It's fairly easy to get and is good in close to 30 states.
