The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to review Hawaii's concealed carry ban in the case of Wolford v. Lopez. This action supports gun rights advocates by challenging laws that effectively nullify the right to public carry, aligning with the Bruen decision's principles. The DOJ's brief argues that Hawaii's law, by imposing broad restrictions on carrying firearms in public places, serves no legitimate purpose and inhibits the exercise of Second Amendment rights.

A recent 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling declared Minnesota's ban on concealed carry for individuals aged 18-20 unconstitutional. The court found that the Second Amendment's plain text does not include an age limit, and that 18-20 year olds are unambiguously 'the people' protected by the right to keep and bear arms. This decision, influenced by the Supreme Court's Bruen ruling, challenges age-based firearm restrictions nationwide.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the legal battle surrounding concealed carry rights in New York, following the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. It details how New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act (S51001) attempts to circumvent Bruen by designating numerous public places as "sensitive locations" and imposing a "good moral character" requirement. The Gun Owners of America (GOA) has filed a petition with the Supreme Court, arguing that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals incorrectly interpreted Bruen as an "exceptional case" not binding on lower courts for less restrictive regulations. The analysis emphasizes the critical need for Supreme Court intervention to prevent lower courts from undermining Second Amendment rights and to ensure nationwide consistency in concealed carry laws.

Mark W. Smith, an expert on the Second Amendment and constitutional law, reports on a significant federal court ruling that strikes down New Jersey's 'sensitive places' doctrine, which previously banned firearms in locations like public parks, libraries, and casinos.

The decision is seen as a major victory for gun rights advocates.
