Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Young v. Hawaii case about?

The Young v. Hawaii case is a legal challenge to Hawaii's firearm laws, specifically targeting the state's prohibition on both concealed and open carry. The core argument is that these restrictions make it nearly impossible for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms in public.

What was the Ninth Circuit's initial ruling in Young v. Hawaii?

In 2018, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of Mr. Young, finding that Hawaii Revised Statute 134-9 violated the Second Amendment by infringing upon the fundamental right to openly carry firearms in public. This ruling was later reviewed by the full en banc panel.

What is the significance of surety laws in the Young v. Hawaii case?

Surety laws, which historically required individuals to post a bond for carrying weapons, are being debated. The government argues they show restrictions on open carry rights, while Mr. Young's representative contends these laws were often unenforced and that the antebellum South had no such laws, supporting the idea of an inherent right.

What is the difference between a facial challenge and an as-applied challenge in legal contexts?

A facial challenge argues that a law is unconstitutional in all its applications. An as-applied challenge argues that a law is unconstitutional in its specific application to an individual or a particular set of circumstances, as seen in the debate over how Hawaii's statute affects Mr. Young.
