What must individuals do with their firearms if they move out of Hawaii?

Nothing
Notify the county police chief
Sell or transfer the firearm within the state
Register the firearm in their new state within 5 days

The correct answer is: Notify the county police chief

When individuals move out of Hawaii, they are required to notify the county police chief about the change in their address. This is important because it allows law enforcement agencies to keep accurate records of firearm ownership and ensures that the individual's information is up to date. Failing to notify the county police chief can lead to legal complications and potential issues in the future. Therefore, it is crucial for gun owners to inform the relevant authorities when they relocate out of state. Option A (Nothing) is incorrect because there are specific steps that individuals need to take when moving out of Hawaii with firearms. Option C (Sell or transfer the firearm within the state) is incorrect because individuals may not always want to sell or transfer their firearms when moving out of state. Proper notification to the county police chief is the necessary action in this scenario. Option D (Register the firearm in their new state within 5 days) is incorrect because the requirement is to notify the county police chief, not necessarily to register the firearm in the new state within a specific timeframe.
