Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Hawaii?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes

In Hawaii, a permit is required to purchase a handgun for both residents and non-residents. The correct answer is A because Hawaii state law mandates that individuals must obtain a permit before purchasing a handgun, regardless of residency status. This requirement is in place to regulate the purchase and ownership of handguns in the state and ensure that those who acquire firearms are legally allowed to do so.
