9th Circuit Court upholds Hawaii beach, park gun ban, while excluding banks and certain parking lots.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Hawaii can enforce a law banning firearms on its beaches, parks, bars, and restaurants serving alcohol, reversing a lower court's decision. However, it upheld the ruling that bans cannot be enforced in banks or certain parking lots. This ruling aligns with historical firearm regulations and reflects ongoing debates about gun control, especially following a 2022 Supreme Court ruling affirming the right to carry handguns for self-defense.
