Supreme Court voids Hawaii gun rule

The Supreme Court struck down a Hawaii restriction that prohibits concealed-carry permit holders from bringing their firearms onto private property that is open to the public, like gas stations, restaurants or shops.

1. Frame 1Supreme Court voided Hawaii's permission-first rule for carrying guns on private property open to the public.
2. Frame 2The 6-3 ruling lets permit holders enter malls, gas stations, and shops unless owners ban guns.
3. Frame 3Hawaii passed the 2023 rule after the court expanded public carry rights two years earlier.
4. Frame 4The majority said the rule violated the Second Amendment; Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion.
5. Frame 5Gun-control advocates warned public spaces lose a safety tool; gun-rights groups said Hawaii went too far.
6. Frame 6Next, owners can post bans while similar laws in California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey face fallout.
