The Supreme Court will hear a significant gun rights case challenging Hawaii's strict concealed carry laws. The case focuses on restrictions preventing permit holders from carrying firearms in public-access private properties and "sensitive places" like beaches and bars. A previous federal ruling sided with the state, overturning a lower court's block. This decision could impact how the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling, extending Second Amendment rights beyond the home, is interpreted.
