In Hawaii, where must firearms be stored when not in use?

In Hawaii, firearms must be stored in a locked container or area when not in use. This requirement helps ensure the safety and security of the firearm, especially to prevent unauthorized access, theft, or accidents involving the firearm. Storing firearms in a locked container or area helps to prevent access by individuals who should not have access to the firearm, such as children or others who are not authorized to use the firearm.

The other options are not safe or in compliance with Hawaii gun laws. Storing firearms in an unlocked drawer (Option A) does not provide adequate security and can lead to unauthorized access. Keeping the firearm within the owner's immediate control (Option B) may not always be practical or safe, especially in situations where others may have access to the firearm. Storing the firearm at a local police station (Option D) is not a standard practice for firearm storage and may not be accessible in case of emergency or self-defense situations.
