No

Only for handgun purchases

The correct answer is: Yes

In Hawaii, a background check is required for every firearm purchase. This includes purchases from licensed dealers as well as private sales. The background check is conducted through the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, ensuring that only eligible individuals can legally obtain firearms in the state. This requirement aims to promote public safety by preventing those with criminal records or mental health issues from acquiring firearms.
