The Supreme Court to examine the strict Hawaii firearms carrying restrictions

The Supreme Court will examine a case concerning the laws of hawaii restricting when people can carry firearms.

Hawaii laws prohibit firearms on private property unless the owner has specifically authorized them. Firearms are also prohibited from beaches, parks, bars and restaurants.

The case focuses on the question of whether the restriction of handguns specifically in certain so-called “sensitive locations” may include public goods, such as parks, beaches and government buildings, and private goods accessible to the public, such as hotels and stores, unless the owner allows it specifically. Without an explanation, the court chose to focus on the aspect of private property when accepting the appeal for examination.

The Trump administration argued that the law violated the court’s decision in 2022 on the second amendment, in which he found that people had the right to carry firearms in public.

A person carrying a handgun for self-defense commits a crime by entering a shopping center, a gas station, a convenience store, a supermarket, a restaurant, a coffee or even a parking lot.”

“The structure and functioning of Hawaii law reveal that the law is useless and seeks rather than inhibiting the exercise of the right to carry weapons,” added the administration.
