Buying a gun in Hawaii: good to know
- Waiting period
- 14 days (the permit to acquire).
- Handgun purchase permit
- Yes. You need a permit to acquire from county police for each handgun.
- Shipping and online purchases
- Most retailers won't ship ammunition to Hawaii because of carrier hazmat limits and state rules. Handgun magazines over 10 rounds and assault pistols are banned. Expect very limited online deals.
How an FFL transfer works
When you buy a gun online or from someone in another state, it ships to a local licensed dealer (an FFL) instead of your door. The dealer logs it in, you fill out ATF Form 4473 and pass the background check, and then you take it home. Dealers charge a transfer fee for this, often $20 to $75. Call first: ask whether they accept transfers from your seller, what the fee is, and whether they need the seller to email a copy of their license.
