The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review whether states can prohibit individuals from carrying guns on private property without the owner’s consent. This decision could potentially expand carry rights in places like malls, restaurants and stores across the country.

The case centers on a 2023 Hawaii law enacted in response to a previous Supreme Court ruling that simplified the process for obtaining carry permits.

Under Hawaii’s current law, individuals with a permit can carry their handguns into locations such as stores unless explicitly forbidden by the property owner.

Additionally, the law restricts carrying guns on beaches, parks, bars and restaurants. The court’s decision on this matter is expected to have significant implications for gun rights and regulations nationwide.
