What type of background check is required for firearm ownership in Hawaii?

Federal only
State only
Both Federal and State
No background check required

The correct answer is: Both Federal and State

In Hawaii, both a federal background check and a state background check are required for firearm ownership. This is because Hawaii has its own firearms regulations in addition to federal laws governing firearm purchases. Individuals looking to purchase a gun in Hawaii must undergo both background checks to ensure they meet all the necessary criteria and do not have disqualifying factors that would prevent them from owning a firearm. It is important for gun owners and prospective buyers to be aware of and comply with both federal and state regulations regarding background checks to legally own a firearm in Hawaii.
