Supreme Court Will Hear Challenge to Hawaii's 'Vampire Rule' for Concealed Carry
['Cam Edwards']
Bearing Arms
The Supreme Court will hear at least one Second Amendment case this term.
On Friday, the Court granted cert to Wolford v. Lopez, which is a challenge to the state of Hawaii's prohibition on lawful concealed carry on all private property unless the property owner gives explicit permission to gun carriers.
As Beck and O'Grady point out in their cert petition, the Ninth Circuit panel that upheld the "vampire rule" didn't cite a single statute from around the time of the Second Amendment's ratification.
Take, for example, Hawaii’s carry prohibitions in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
The panel used the same misguided methodology to uphold Hawaii’s ban in parks and on beaches.
