Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wolford v. Lopez case about?

Who supports the challenge to Hawaii's concealed carry law?

The challenge to Hawaii's concealed carry law in Wolford v. Lopez is supported by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and 26 other states that are pro-Second Amendment. They argue the law is designed to suppress concealed carry rather than uphold constitutional rights.
