After Hemani, Hawaii’s ‘Vampire Rule’ Faces a Bruen Reckoning

Summary

The article explains how the Supreme Court's 'History and Tradition' test, established in *Bruen* and applied in the *United States v. Hemani* ruling (which struck down the federal drug user gun ban for sober individuals), is now being applied to *Wolford v. Lopez*. This pending case challenges Hawaii's 'sensitive places' law, which defaults public-facing businesses to 'no-gun zones' unless explicitly signed otherwise, with the article predicting its unconstitutionality under the *Bruen* standard.
