Where is open carry of firearms permitted in Hawaii?

  1. Nowhere, it is not permitted

  2. State parks

  3. Hunting areas with a permit

  4. Private properties with the owner's permission

The correct answer is: Nowhere, it is not permitted

In Hawaii, open carry of firearms is not permitted anywhere. Hawaii law only allows for the concealed carry of firearms with a permit issued by the county police chief. This means that carrying a firearm openly, where the firearm is visible to others, is prohibited in all locations throughout the state. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. While some states in the U.S. allow open carry in certain public places or under certain conditions, Hawaii has stricter regulations regarding firearm possession and carrying. It's important for individuals in Hawaii to understand and comply with the state's laws to avoid any legal issues related to firearm possession and carrying.
