Are you allowed to carry a concealed firearm in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, with a permit

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

In Hawaii, it is required to have a permit in order to carry a concealed firearm legally. Option B is the correct answer. Hawaii is a "May Issue" state, which means that the local law enforcement agency has discretion in issuing concealed carry permits. Simply carrying a concealed firearm without a permit is illegal in Hawaii. Option A is incorrect because carrying without a permit is against the law. Option C is incorrect as carrying a concealed firearm with a permit is allowed. Option D is also incorrect because while law enforcement officers are permitted to carry concealed firearms, this privilege is not limited to just them; civilians with the necessary permit can also carry concealed firearms.
