What is Hawaii's law on storing firearms in a household with minors?

  1. Firearms must be stored unloaded

  2. Firearms must be stored in a locked container

  3. No specific law

  4. Firearms must have a trigger lock

The correct answer is: Firearms must be stored in a locked container

In Hawaii, the law requires firearms to be stored in a locked container in households with minors. This regulation is in place to ensure that firearms are securely stored and inaccessible to children, helping to prevent accidents or misuse. Storing firearms in a locked container adds an extra layer of safety by reducing the chances of unauthorized access. It is important for gun owners to adhere to this law to promote household safety and firearm responsibility. Option A is not entirely accurate because simply storing firearms unloaded may not be sufficient to prevent accidents if they are still accessible to minors. Option C is incorrect as Hawaii does have specific laws pertaining to the storage of firearms in households with minors. Option D is also incorrect as having a trigger lock alone may not meet the storage requirements set by Hawaii law.
