9th Circuit US Court of Appeals Rules Openly Carrying a Firearm in Public is CONSTITUTIONAL
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that openly carrying a firearm in public is constitutional, overturning a previous Hawaii law that restricted this right. This decision, in the case of Young v. Hawaii, acknowledges that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry firearms outdoors. However, the court's ruling does not address concealed carry, creating a conflict with another Ninth Circuit decision, Pirotta v. California, which stated the Constitution does not guarantee concealed carry rights. This legal conflict will likely necessitate further review, potentially by the Supreme Court.
