Supreme Court strikes down Hawaii concealed-carry permission rule
High court rules a Hawaii requirement that concealed-carry permit holders obtain property-owner permission before entering most privately owned public spaces is unconstitutional.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that a Hawaii law requiring concealed-carry permit holders to obtain permission before entering most private property open to the public is unconstitutional. The decision invalidates the state rule that required permit holders to secure property-owner permission before entering privately owned spaces generally open to the public.
