Are background checks required for private firearm sales in Hawaii?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for handguns

  4. Only for sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes

In Hawaii, background checks are required for all private firearm sales. This is to ensure that individuals purchasing firearms from private sellers are eligible and legally allowed to possess a firearm. This requirement helps maintain public safety by preventing individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as convicted felons or individuals with certain mental health issues, from obtaining them through private sales.
