Guns in Hawaii - Guest - 11-26-2010 Guns in Hawaii. I believe that Hawaii may be the first state to outlaw guns of any kind. The second amendment doesn’t seem to mean much here and Hawaii is trying to make it almost impossible to get a gun permit. Now they even have a long gun permit next it will be BB and pellet guns and maybe slingshots. The Lack [] The Lack Toons RE: Guns in Hawaii - oink - 11-26-2010 Hawaii already is one of the most restrictive states. What are they trying to pass to make it more restrictive? The Court has recently ruled on this issue so they can only go so far. It would be a real shame if the State is needlessly getting itself involved in costly litigation that it will surely lose.

RE: Guns in Hawaii - laniA - 11-26-2010 I don't think so. http://wtfhawaii.com/2010/07/defend-hawaii/ RE: Guns in Hawaii - kimo wires - 11-26-2010 When guns are outlawed...Only Outlaws will have guns. One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected. RE: Guns in Hawaii - wyline - 11-26-2010 I have never needed a "permit" As long as criminals have guns, I will have mine as well. Wyline RE: Guns in Hawaii - Midnight Rambler - 11-26-2010 Blah, blah, blah... People whine about this all the time with no justification. You barely need anything for a long gun and to get a handgun permit only requires taking the hunter safety course, which isn't sufficient. The last restriction on gun ownership was the assault weapon ban (and I'm going to bet the guy I ran into on Kauai in full camo gear with an AR-15 wasn't just hunting pig). Ever since then gun nuts have managed to erode the most common-sense restrictions, to allow mentally ill people and yes, outlaws to legally buy guns. Guns in bars? Sure! What could possibly go wrong?! RE: Guns in Hawaii - PaulW - 11-26-2010 Here come the bumper stickers. We've been through this all before on this forum. Give it a rest. RE: Guns in Hawaii - birdmove - 11-27-2010 I had heard that if a person moves to the Big Island from the mainland, they could bring firearms, but had to take them to a police station within a few days to register them. What about hand guns? Can I bring a few hand guns to Hawaii as long as I register them, or is that possible? I had a concealed weapons permit for many years in Washington State, but just let it expire as I never carry anyway.I competed for many years in 100 meter and 200 meter handgun competition (as in metallic silhouete shooting), and some bowling pin competition.I don't hunt but like to go target shooting sometimes.

RE: Guns in Hawaii - wyline - 11-27-2010 @birdmove "I had heard that if a person moves to the Big Island from the mainland, they could bring firearms, but had to take them to a police station within a few days to register them." I brought my two handguns on a shipping container with the rest of my household goods and have no intention of registering them. What's the point? They are for protection, not hunting, at least in my case. But if the damn pigs don't leave my avocados alone, I may revise my position [] Wyline RE: Guns in Hawaii - james weatherford - 11-27-2010 gun + pigs eating avocado = time to have some pork for dinner. Harvesting food is the most basic use of a gun I grew up with. James Weatherford, Ph.D. 15-1888 Hialoa Hawaiian Paradise Park |
