Is a background check required for private gun sales in Hawaii?

Yes
No
Only for handguns
Only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes

In Hawaii, a background check is required for all private gun sales. This includes sales between private individuals, at gun shows, or through online transactions. The background check is important for ensuring that the buyer is legally allowed to possess a firearm and does not have any disqualifying criminal history. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement for a background check in private gun sales in Hawaii.
