The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Hawaii law that barred concealed-carry permit holders from bringing firearms onto private property open to the public without the owner's permission, according to CBS News.
The ruling builds on the Supreme Court's 2022 decision recognizing a constitutional right to carry firearms outside the home. The report said the court found Hawaii's default prohibition unconstitutional but left intact other state restrictions covering locations such as schools, government buildings, parks and beaches.
According to the report, the Trump administration supported the gun owners, arguing the law effectively criminalized routine public activities.
Similar restrictions in New York, California and Maryland have also faced court challenges, while most states allow licensed firearm owners to carry on publicly accessible private property.
