Are private firearm sales regulated in Hawaii?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for handguns

  4. Only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes

Private firearm sales are regulated in Hawaii. The correct answer is A. In Hawaii, all firearm sales, including private sales, are subject to background checks and individuals must obtain a permit to acquire a firearm. This helps ensure that individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms, such as convicted felons or those with a history of domestic violence, are not able to obtain guns through private sales. This regulation helps strengthen public safety by reducing the likelihood of firearms ending up in the wrong hands. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulations surrounding private firearm sales in Hawaii.
