Re: Hawaii case regarding having to visit the PD 3 times to buy firearm

From Alan Beck, lawyer for the plaintiff.
Stephen and I just filed this complaint on behalf of Hawaii Firearms Coalition member Todd Yukutake and David Kikukawa which challenges the State of Hawaii's and the City and County of Honolulu's requirement that individuals bring their guns to the station in order to register, physically retrieve their permits at the station, the fact handgun permits expire after 10 days from receiving them and the times HPD is open to apply for a permit to acquire.

Code: Select all

HRS § 134-2(e)’s requirement that “[p]ermits issued to acquire any
pistol or revolver shall be void unless used within ten days after the date of issue”
is declared unconstitutional in violation of the Second Amendment. Defendant’s
officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons in active concert or
participation with Defendant are permanently enjoined from enforcing HRS
Case 1:19-cv-00578-JMS-RT Document 107 Filed 08/16/21 Page 31 of 33 PageID #:

§ 134-2(e)’s 10-day permit use requirement for handguns. To be clear, no other
language in HRS § 134-2(e) is found unconstitutional.
HRS § 134-3(c)’s requirement that, with the exception of certain
licensed dealers, “[a]ll other firearms and firearm receivers registered under [HRS
§ 134] shall be physically inspected by the respective county chief of police or the
chief’s representative at the time of registration” is unconstitutional in violation of
the Second Amendment. Defendant’s officers, agents, servants, employees, and all
persons in active concert or participation with Defendant are permanently enjoined
from enforcing HRS § 134-3(c)’s in-person firearm inspection and registration
requirement. To be clear, no other language in HRS § 134-3(c) is found
unconstitutional.

Yukutake v. Connors has resulted in a bill, HB2075, which would take effect in 200 years, apparently.
https://legiscan.com/HI/bill/HB2075/2022
Increases the time frame that a permit to acquire a firearm can be used to thirty days. Eliminates physical inspection of firearms generally, except under certain circumstances. Effective 1/1/2222. (HD1)
Some of the testimony:
https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/Session2 ... 29-22_.PDF
A person purchasing a firearm from someone who is not a licensed dealer may both be
unaware that they may be involved in the transaction of an illegal firearm. In addition with
military members making up about 10 percent of Oahu's population, their registering of firearms
is about 50 percent of our workload for PD personnel handling registrations. When active duty
military members transfer to Hawaii, they unknowingly bring in their illegal firearms and
accessories to the HPD’s Firearms Unit (Records and Identification Division) to register. This
unfortunately has resulted in the on-the-spot confiscation of said illegal firearms and
accessories. In 2021, there were 55 on-the-spot confiscations by the HPD, of which 30 involved
military members and 25 civilians. Individuals appear to be unaware of Hawaü’s illegal firearms
Laws (e.g., shotguns with barrel lengths of less than 18 inches and pistol magazines with a
capacity of more than ten rounds). This may be due to other states having less restrictive
firearms laws as compared to Hawaii. To require the physical inspection of firearms in these
two situations directly contributes to the Hawaii law enforcement community’s efforts toward
increasing public safety
