Is open carry of firearms permitted in Hawaii?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, with a permit

  3. No

  4. It depends on the county

The correct answer is: No

In Hawaii, open carry of firearms is not permitted. Hawaii law only allows for the concealed carry of firearms with a permit, and open carry is generally prohibited except in limited circumstances for law enforcement officers. This is why option C, "No," is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that open carry is allowed in Hawaii either without a permit, with a permit, or that it varies by county, which is not the case under current Hawaii gun laws.
