Stake Driven Through Vampire Laws’ Hearts

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Hawaii law that makes it a crime for gun owners to bring their guns onto private property that is open to the public unless they have the property owner’s specific consent. In Wolford v. Lopez, by a vote of 6-3, the justices agreed with a group of Maui residents with concealed-carry permits that the law violates the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right to bear arms. Thursday’s decision will have an impact not only in Hawaii, but also in four other states – California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey – with similar laws. [More]

They got another one right!

Maybe I should ease up on John Roberts…? Until next time…?

Why are residents being charged multiple fees not authorized by law? Why are residents being charged at all when the County is already paying for the system? Why is confidential firearm data being handled by a private company? And who is ensuring compliance with Hawaiʻi statutes? [More]

And why is such a “public/private partnership” not referred to by it’s true name?

A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

In a just world, text, history, and tradition trump Kapu tradition.
