> The Supreme Court will hear at least one Second Amendment case this term. On Friday, the Court granted cert to Wolford v. Lopez, which is a challenge to the state of Hawaii's prohibition on lawful concealed carry on all private property unless the property owner gives explicit permission to gun carriers. > The cert petition, filed by attorneys Alan Beck and Kevin O'Grady on behalf of several individual plaintiffs and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition, raised two questions for the Court's consideration: >> 1. Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in holding, in direct conflict with the Second Circuit, that Hawaii may presumptively prohibit the carry of handguns by licensed concealed carry permit holders on private property open to the public unless the property owner affirmatively gives express permission to the handgun carrier? >> 2. Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in solely relying on post-Reconstruction Era and later laws in applying Bruen’s text, history and tradition test in direct conflict with the holdings of the Third, Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh Circuits?
