Is it legal to possess a firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Hawaii?

Yes, but not in public places
No
Yes, if not carrying it visibly
Yes, with a special permit

The correct answer is: No

It is illegal to possess a firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Hawaii. This prohibition helps ensure the safety of individuals and the community by preventing impaired individuals from having access to firearms, which could potentially lead to dangerous situations. It is important to always handle firearms responsibly and with a clear state of mind to prevent accidents or harm to oneself and others. Option A is incorrect because possession of a firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not legal in any setting, whether in public places or elsewhere. Option C is incorrect because being under the influence of alcohol or drugs does not make it legal to possess a firearm, regardless of whether it is carried visibly or not. Option D is incorrect because having a special permit does not override the laws prohibiting the possession of firearms while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
