The U.S. Supreme Court favored gun rights activists in its ruling on Thursday in Wolford v. Lopez. <\/i><\/p>\n

The case originated in 2023 after a group of Maui residents and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition challenged the state\u2019s firearm law, known as the \u201cvampire rule,\u201d which prohibits concealed-carry permit holders from bringing their firearms onto private property open to the public, such as restaurants or stores, unless they have prior permission from the owner. <\/p>\n

Hawaii enacted the law in 2023, less than a year after the Supreme Court made clear a citizen has the right to conceal carry for their own protection outside the home in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.<\/p>\n

In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority of the court sided with the gun owners that the Hawaii law violated citizens\u2019 Second and 14th Amendment rights. <\/p>\n

\u201cHawaii\u2019s new rule imposes severe restrictions on the daily activities of residents who have satisfied the State\u2019s rigorous requirements for the issuance of a carry permit,\u201d Justice Samuel Alito . \u201cThis law flips the default rule at common law, under which anyone has an implied license to enter property held open to the public unless the property owner withdraws consent.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Second Amendment has the same meaning in all parts of the United States,\u201d Alito said. \u201cIt cannot give way to \u2018the spirit of Aloha\u2019 in Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n

The liberal justices dissented. In her opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, argued that the case is an issue of property rights, not firearm rights. <\/p>\n

\u201cHawaii\u2019s law does not implicate the Second Amendment because there is no right to carry a gun onto private property without consent (as all agree), and the Constitution does not dictate the form of that required consent,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd even if the Second Amendment were implicated here, Hawaii has proffered ample analogues demonstrating a history and tradition of States protecting their residents\u2019 property rights by requiring those wishing to carry guns onto private property to get express consent from the property owner before doing so.\u201d <\/p>\n

Following the ruling, Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, posted on X, \u201c@CivilRights says \u2018mahalo\u2019 to SCOTUS! This @TheJusticeDept fights for you!\u201d<\/p>\n
