This analysis by Liberty Doll critically examines Hawaii's defense of its broad carry ban, which relies on historical decrees and 'Black Codes.' The speaker, a high-level commentator on Second Amendment issues, argues that these historical analogues, particularly those used to disarm specific populations, are irrelevant to modern constitutional interpretation following the Bruen decision. The entry highlights the legal strategy and its controversial historical underpinnings.
The Supreme Court has granted review to Wolford v. Lopez, a case challenging Hawaii's concealed carry restrictions post-Bruen. This decision impacts other lower court cases, including those in New Jersey and California, concerning state laws that restrict carrying firearms on private property open to the public. The Court's ruling is expected to provide further guidance on the scope of the Second Amendment right to public carry.
The Supreme Court has unanimously denied emergency review for concealed carry bans, impacting cases like Antonyuk in New York and Wolfford in Hawaii. While the Antonyuk case returns to the lower court for a merits decision, the Second Circuit's precedent that Bruin applies only to exceptional cases presents an uphill battle. A potential legislative solution, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill, is moving through the House.
