Wolford and Hemani: Supreme Court Decisions in Second Amendment Cases Expected Soon

Summary

The Supreme Court is expected to issue decisions by the end of June 2026 in two significant Second Amendment cases: Wolford v. Lopez and United States v. Hemani. Wolford addresses Hawaii's broad definition of 'sensitive' locations and private property carry, while Hemani questions whether unlawful marijuana use can strip individuals of their Second Amendment rights. These rulings are anticipated to further clarify the application of the Bruen and Rahimi precedents by lower courts.
