In order to make things easier, we have developed a thumb rule
This rule is pretty simple.
If you see something in the movies
And you thought that the gun looked really cool
It’s probably banned by Hawaii Law.
An Electric gun means any portable device that is electrically operated to project a missle or electromotive force
This means that Tasers are considered an electric gun – and under state law, They are banned. The government thinks we would just shock everyone.
Additionally, stun devices are also considered electric guns, and as such – are banned.
Transporting loaded firearms is against state law. It is important to know when your firearm is actually considered loaded. Your firearm is considered loaded when ammunition is present in the firing chamber, revolving cylinder, or within a magazine which is inserted in a firearm.
Under Hawaii State Law, there are two distinct types of firearms: Rifles and Pistols
The differences, at least under Hawaii law, are based on the length of the barrel.
A under Hawaii Law is any firearm with a barrel longer than 16 inches in length.
A pistol on the other hand, is any firearm with a barrel shorter than 16 inches.
Because of these length based classifications, it does mean that even some shorter rifles can be misclassified as a pistol under Hawaii law.
