Are background checks required for private gun sales in Hawaii?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for handguns
No, background checks are not required for private sales
Background checks are only required at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Hawaii, background checks are required for all firearms, not just for handguns. This means that anyone looking to purchase a firearm through a private sale in Hawaii must undergo a background check before completing the transaction. This requirement helps ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as convicted felons or domestic abusers, are not able to obtain them through private sales.
