Supreme Court Rules on Gun Carry in Hawaii

The Supreme Court just struck down Hawaii’s controversial “vampire rule” that barred concealed-carry permit holders from bringing guns onto private businesses unless owners gave explicit permission. With a 6-3 vote, justices ruled the law violated the Second Amendment, calling it an undue burden on law-abiding gun owners who already met strict permit requirements. The decision means everyday activities like grabbing gas or groceries could now put permit holders at legal risk — unless the business owner says otherwise. While this ruling impacts a few states with similar laws, most of the country already allows permit holders on private property. Importantly, Hawaii’s other restrictions — like those for bars, beaches, or schools — remain unchanged. The case began in 2023 when residents and a gun group challenged the law, ultimately reaching the Supreme Court after lower courts split on the issue.
