What penalty can be imposed for illegally carrying a firearm in a prohibited place in Hawaii?

  1. Fine

  2. Imprisonment

  3. Both A and B

  4. Warning

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Hawaii, carrying a firearm in a prohibited place is considered a misdemeanor criminal offense. This means that both a fine and imprisonment can be imposed as penalties for this violation. A warning may not be given as the act is considered a criminal offense rather than a mere violation. Additionally, simply carrying a firearm in a prohibited place is not as serious as using the firearm to commit a crime, which could result in more severe penalties.
