Can firearms be openly carried in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, with a permit

  3. No

  4. Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: No

In Hawaii, firearms cannot be openly carried. The correct answer is C: No. Hawaii is categorized as a may-issue state, where permits to carry firearms, whether openly or concealed, are only issued at the discretion of the local law enforcement authorities. This means that individuals need to obtain a permit in order to carry a firearm in Hawaii, and open carry is generally not allowed in the state. Therefore, option C is correct.
