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.

Thx
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
My wife and I are flying to Hawaii this year for a wedding. Beyond the monetary value of the clothes in the checked luggage, we can't afford to have the airlines lose the bag; it would ruin the wedding.
If I declare an AR lower in the bag so the airline keeps track of it properly, will I run afoul of any Hawaii laws?
My research suggests that if I stay for more than 5 days, I need to jump through some hoops, like getting written notice from a shooting range that I intend to shoot there, except that I'm not planning on bringing an operational firearm...
Thoughts? I'm active duty military if that makes a difference.
