What is the waiting period for obtaining a firearm after applying for a permit in Hawaii?

  1. No waiting period

  2. 5 business days

  3. 10 business days

  4. 14 business days

The correct answer is: 14 business days

The correct answer is D, 14 business days, for obtaining a firearm after applying for a permit in Hawaii. In Hawaii, there is a mandatory waiting period of 14 business days after submitting an application for a firearm permit before the individual can take possession of the gun. This waiting period allows for a thorough background check to be conducted before the firearm is released to the applicant. It is important to adhere to this waiting period as part of the state's efforts to ensure firearms are only provided to individuals who meet the necessary criteria and do not pose a threat to public safety.
