What is the waiting period for firearm acquisition after permit approval in Hawaii?

There is no waiting period
48 hours
14 days
20 days

The correct answer is: 14 days

In Hawaii, the waiting period for firearm acquisition after permit approval is 14 days. During this waiting period, individuals who have been approved for a permit must wait before they can actually take possession of the firearm. This waiting period allows for a cooling-off period, enabling individuals to reconsider their decision to acquire a firearm and for background checks to be completed thoroughly. Option A: "There is no waiting period" is incorrect because Hawaii does have a waiting period for firearm acquisition after permit approval. Option B: "48 hours" is incorrect as Hawaii's waiting period is longer than 48 hours. Option D: "20 days" is incorrect as the waiting period for firearm acquisition after permit approval in Hawaii is not 20 days, but rather 14 days.
