Can non-residents purchase firearms in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, but only long guns

  2. Yes, both handguns and long guns

  3. No, under no circumstances

  4. Yes, but with special permission

The correct answer is: Yes, but only long guns

Non-residents can purchase long guns in Hawaii because Federal law allows for the purchase of long guns in any state, as long as the sale complies with both the laws of the buyer's state of residence and the state where the sale takes place. However, non-residents cannot purchase handguns in Hawaii as state law requires that only residents with a valid permit are allowed to purchase handguns in the state. This is why option A is the correct answer.
