Can firearms be carried openly in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, with a permit

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only in rural areas

  4. Yes, but only by law enforcement

The correct answer is: No

In Hawaii, firearms cannot be carried openly. Hawaii is a may-issue state, which means that the government has discretion in determining whether or not to issue a permit to carry a firearm. Open carry is generally prohibited in Hawaii, even with a permit. This restriction on open carry is why option B is the correct answer.
