Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, after serving their sentence

  2. Yes, if the felony is not violent

  3. No, under no circumstances

  4. Only with a gubernatorial pardon

The correct answer is: No, under no circumstances

In Hawaii, a person convicted of a felony is generally prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under any circumstances. This prohibition is a part of federal law as well. Felons are considered to have forfeited their right to possess firearms as a consequence of their criminal convictions. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer in this case.
