Can a non-resident of Hawaii purchase a firearm while visiting?

  1. Yes, but only rifles and shotguns

  2. Yes, any type of firearm

  3. No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms

  4. Yes, but they must pass a background check

The correct answer is: No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms

Non-residents of Hawaii are not able to purchase firearms while visiting the state. Hawaii has strict laws regarding firearm purchases, and only residents of Hawaii with a valid state ID or driver's license are allowed to purchase firearms within the state. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals acquiring firearms are subject to the state's background check process and other requirements specific to Hawaii residents.
