So what’s the rules on loaded magazines when going to the range. I would love to have magazines preloaded when I go. Is it different if you’re going to one of the base ranges and Kokohead vs one of the private gun ranges?

I was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital a long time ago when I was young, so I can’t legally purchase a firearm in the state of Hawaii. But I still really want to get into shooting. Can I go to ranges and rent a gun to train with?

Planning on buying my first pistol. I am concerned about the application. I am currently taking prozac. I understand there’s a section where you must indicate treatment or diagnosis for behavior, psychological, emotional, or mental conditions. I plan on answering honestly. I have sought out treatment before. However I’m concerned it’s going to influence my ability to own a firearm. Is it even worth going through all the trouble?

Is it legal for me to take my firearm with me to another residence house with permission. I understand Hawaii only allows you take your firearm to specific locations but I’m asking because I’m planning on hanging out with family and taking my firearm and spending the night and the next day heading to the range with some family rather than driving back to my house on the other side of the island to grab my firearm.

Trying to gain some situation awareness on Oahu indoor ranges. Are there any that allow you to bring your own ammo?

Also, are there any military ranges open to the public with base access?

I couldn’t find anything definitive on the subject. Are linear compensators, aka blast forward/can muzzle breaks, aka Witt Machine SME sound mitigation equipment legal in Hawaii?

Looking for a reputable gunsmith to cerakote my firearms.

Hi folks

I have a family member who will be in Kauai for about 18 months.

He already has good firearm options for home protection (registered).

But since he is living on a few acres I’m looking at a less-than-lethal option for protection from people trespassing....maybe simply lost or maybe more sketchy reasons.

This Byrna air gun launches large plastic balls at a few hundred feet per second. Also a pepper ball option but not sure that is legal in Hawaii.

Anyone know if it is legal? I know they don’t ship there.

So from my understanding the long gun permit is just used to acquire firearms. Meaning, I don’t need to renew it every year unless I plan on purchasing more firearms. Is this correct?

I know this is a long shot, but does any know if answering yes to any of the questions on the questionnaire automatically disqualify a person from obtaining their permit?

Hello,

I am moving to Hawaii (big island) sometime this year and trying to figure out if the Ruger PC Carbine 9mm 10 round mag (CA compliant) is legal. Does this fall into the assault pistol category?

The manufacture style number is 19102 if that helps.

Here is the link for the one I have,

I’ve done a ton of research on Hawaii gun law and been reading on the recent changes. But can’t seem to come to a solid answers.

Thanks for the help!

I am a military veteran but in the past two years I have gone to therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. When I disclose my diagnosis on a Hawaii firearm permit application will I automatically be barred from gun ownership in the state? Has anyone else applied for a firearm permit with a mental health diagnosis?

I heard it's practically illegal to own guns in Hawaii
