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

  1. Criminal background check

  2. Mental health background check

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Hawaii, individuals looking to obtain a firearm are required to undergo both a criminal background check and a mental health background check. This dual-check system helps ensure that potential gun owners do not have a history of violent or criminal behavior, as well as do not pose a risk to themselves or others due to mental health issues. By conducting both types of background checks, the state aims to promote safety and responsibility in firearm ownership.
