Supreme Court Strikes Down Hawaii’s ‘Vampire Rule’ in Major Second Amendment Win

Summary

The Supreme Court, in Wolford v. Lopez, struck down Hawaii’s post-Bruen “Vampire Rule” in a 6-3 decision, ruling it violated the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. The "Vampire Rule" made licensed concealed carry illegal by default in businesses open to the public unless the owner gave express permission, effectively nullifying carry permits outside the home.
