Is a permit required to acquire a shotgun or rifle in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No, not for shotguns or rifles

  3. Yes, but only for residents

  4. Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Hawaii, a permit is required to acquire any type of firearm, including shotguns and rifles. This means that both residents and non-residents need to obtain a permit before purchasing a shotgun or rifle in the state of Hawaii. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect Hawaii's gun laws, which require a permit for all firearms, regardless of the type of firearm or the residency status of the individual acquiring the firearm.
