US Supreme Court Strikes Down Hawaii Law Restricting Guns in Private Public Venues
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down a 2023 Hawaii law requiring permission to carry guns into private businesses open to the public, such as shops and hotels. The court held that firearms can be carried onto such properties unless owners explicitly prohibit them. This decision supports Second Amendment rights and follows recent rulings expanding gun ownership protections. Hawaii defended the law as allowing property owners control, but the case was brought by gun rights advocates and challenged in lower courts.
