The wife and I are finally making the move to Kauai.  I grew up there, and we've been planning this out for years.  We packed up all of my machine guns, SBRs, DDs, SBSs, and suppressors, and have them in a family member's vault now here in Texas.  We rented out our house to friends.  We are READY, and she flys out this week to start her new job, then I will be following behind shortly.

I enjoy my firearms hobby, and I'm sad I can't bring any of my full autos and normal suppressors there.  I'll have fun with them when I come back to visit Texas, but it's still lame.  I'd like to own and enjoy at least a couple guns while we live in Kauai though.  I'll bring a semi auto AK, a shotgun, and a pistol or two.  Just to enjoy every now and then.

I am spoiled with the gun laws here in Texas, and would like to at least own something "different" in Kauai, and was wondering if I could bring one of my flamethrowers there?  They aren't even considered firearms, but I wasn't sure if there is a law directly banning them in Hawaii.

Also, I'm interested in buying the new Silencerco Maxim 50.  It's a muzzle loading suppressed musket essentially.  Federally it's legal, but I know in some states, like California, the laws screw over what the manufacturer was trying, but how are the laws in the state of Hawaii?  I actually enjoy muzzle loading firearms too, and shooting suppressed is just plain fun and different.  What are your thoughts on the laws there towards this?

Maxim50

I appreciate the help!

Maxim50 is most likely illegal.

Flamethrower I think is legal, haven't heard of laws against it.  But best to research it.  As an example, pepper spray is legal in Hawaii, but Kauai requires you to obtain a permit for it first.

I appreciate the help.  It totally sucks not being able to bring almost my entire collection to the island with me.  Home is home though, and yearly visits will have to suffice.

I can relate. DIAS in safety deposit box on the east coast and haven't even hunted on Maui... yet...

Nice!  That was the first transferable I ever bought.  Enjoy it.......when you see it again!
