Supreme Court strikes down Hawaii gun law on private property; experts warn of implications for businesses
By
Abené Clayton
Summary
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Wolford v Lopez to strike down a Hawaii law that banned carrying guns on private property without permission. Gun rights advocates praised the decision as a win for Second Amendment rights, while experts warn it creates challenges for business owners who may now need to actively post signage to prohibit firearms on their premises. The ruling is seen as a bellwether for how the conservative-majority court may continue rolling back gun restrictions they view as burdensome on legal gun owners.
