In Hawaii, a 'prohibited person' under the gun laws includes individuals who have been convicted of certain crimes or have a history of mental illness. This category of individuals is restricted from legally possessing or purchasing firearms in the state. It is important to identify and prohibit individuals who pose a potential danger to themselves or others from owning firearms. This regulation helps in promoting public safety and preventing gun-related incidents.
