What are the penalties for illegally carrying a firearm in Hawaii?

Fine only
Imprisonment only
Fine and imprisonment
Community service

The correct answer is: Fine and imprisonment

Carrying a firearm illegally in Hawaii is a serious offense that can result in both a fine and imprisonment. This is because the state imposes strict laws and penalties to deter individuals from unlawfully possessing firearms. By incorporating both a financial penalty and potential time behind bars, Hawaii aims to discourage illegal firearm possession and promote public safety. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A, which suggests only a fine, is not sufficient to address the severity of illegal firearm carrying, while option B of solely imprisonment would also overlook the financial repercussions and responsibilities. Option D, community service, is not typically a primary penalty for illegally carrying a firearm in Hawaii.
