The Supreme Court has granted review to Woollard v. Lopez, a significant Second Amendment case concerning Hawaii's concealed carry restrictions. This case challenges state laws that attempt to ban concealed carry on private property open to the public, even after the Bruen decision.

This video discusses the legal requirement to register ammunition in eight specific states: Washington D.C., Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, New York, and Hawaii.

This video discusses a significant amicus brief filed by the US Department of Justice with the Supreme Court in the case of Wolford v. Lopez. The brief supports lawful gun owners challenging Hawaii's Act 52, a 'Bruen response bill' that presumes private property open to the public is a gun-free zone unless explicitly permitted. The DOJ argues this law violates Second Amendment principles established in Bruen and Rahimi, as it creates a gun-specific default rule contrary to traditional property law and the right to public carry for self-defense. The video highlights the importance of this intervention, noting it's the first time the DOJ has filed an amicus brief on a Supreme Court petition supporting gun owners.
