What is the mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Hawaii?

5 days
10 days
14 days
20 days

The correct answer is: 14 days

In Hawaii, the mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm is 14 days. During this period, law enforcement conducts a background check on the individual purchasing the firearm to ensure they are eligible to own a gun. This waiting period is in place to provide a cooling-off period and to help prevent impulsive acts of violence or self-harm. It aims to ensure that firearms do not end up in the wrong hands, promoting public safety and responsible gun ownership. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the actual mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Hawaii. The correct waiting period is indeed 14 days, as stated in option C.
