Can individuals convicted of a felony own a firearm in Hawaii?

Yes
No
Only if the felony is non-violent
Only with special permission from the court

The correct answer is: No

In Hawaii, individuals convicted of a felony are generally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. Felons are considered to be in a prohibited category under federal and state laws due to concerns about public safety and the increased risk of violence associated with individuals who have committed serious crimes. This restriction is in place to help prevent those with criminal records from possessing firearms, reducing the potential for further criminal activity or harm to others. Therefore, the correct answer is "B. No." Options A, C, and D are incorrect because individuals convicted of a felony are not allowed to own a firearm in Hawaii regardless of the type of felony or any special permissions.
