The Supreme Court will review Hawaii's law restricting concealed handguns on private property open to the public without owner permission. This case, stemming from a 2023 state law responding to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, adds gun rights to the court's docket. A federal appeals court previously upheld the restriction. Gun rights advocates argue this law effectively bans public carry, while Hawaii maintains it respects property owners' rights. The decision could impact similar laws in other states and further define Second Amendment application in public spaces.
