What is the penalty for carrying a firearm without a permit in Hawaii?

  1. A fine of up to $1,000

  2. Up to 1 year in prison

  3. Both a fine and prison time

  4. Community service

The correct answer is: Both a fine and prison time

Carrying a firearm without a permit is considered a serious offense in Hawaii and can result in both a fine and prison time. Option A states only a fine, which would not accurately reflect the severity of the crime. Option B mentions only prison time, leaving out the possibility of additional fines. Option D is incorrect because community service is not a sufficient punishment for such a crime. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
