Can a non-resident of Hawaii transport a firearm through the state if it's locked and unloaded?

Yes, always
No
Yes, but only with a permit
Yes, under the federal Firearm Owners Protection Act

The correct answer is: Yes, under the federal Firearm Owners Protection Act

Under the federal Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), non-residents are allowed to transport firearms through a state, including Hawaii, as long as the firearms are unloaded and locked in a container separate from the ammunition. This federal law provides some protection to individuals traveling with firearms, even if they are non-residents of the state they are passing through. It's important to note that while FOPA provides this protection, individuals should still familiarize themselves with state-specific laws and regulations regarding firearm transportation to ensure full compliance with all applicable rules. Option D is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the provisions of the federal Firearm Owners Protection Act.
