Who may issue a permit to acquire a firearm in Hawaii?

The FBI
The local police chief
Any licensed firearm dealer
The Hawaii Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: The local police chief

The local police chief may issue a permit to acquire a firearm in Hawaii. In Hawaii, individuals who wish to acquire a firearm must apply for a permit from their local police chief. The police chief will conduct a background check and determine if the applicant meets all the requirements for obtaining a permit. This process helps ensure that only those who are eligible and law-abiding receive permits to acquire firearms. Option A, the FBI, does not issue permits to acquire firearms in Hawaii. Option C, any licensed firearm dealer, does not have the authority to issue permits to acquire firearms in Hawaii. Option D, the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, is also not the entity responsible for issuing permits to acquire firearms in Hawaii.
