| BREAKING: SCOTUS strikes down Hawaii's law banning concealed carry in businesses | |
| 2026-06-25 | |
Can citizens who have been trained and have concealed carry licenses actually carry concealed in shops or other private property open to the public without being given express permission by the property owner? Or, like a vampire in the teen hit Vampire Diaries, will the license holder have to have an invitation to enter? That’s the question the Supreme Court was asked to consider in Wolford v. Lopez, which was argued before the court in January 2026. In a 6-3 decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that a Hawaii law banning concealed carry at businesses and other types of private property that is open to the public is unconstitutional. In the court's opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that Hawaii's "regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives." "Hawaii’s law prohibiting licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express authorization violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments," the ruling concluded. | |
