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

  1. Federal background check only

  2. Local background check only

  3. Both federal and local background checks

  4. No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both federal and local background checks

In Hawaii, both federal and local background checks are required for firearm purchases. This dual background check system ensures that potential buyers are thoroughly screened at both the federal and state levels before being able to obtain a firearm. Federal background checks are conducted through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), while local background checks are processed by the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC). This comprehensive approach helps to promote public safety by confirming that individuals seeking to purchase firearms meet all necessary legal requirements and do not pose a risk to themselves or others.
