Did the 9th Circuit Just Erase “to Bear” Arms from the Second Amendment?
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 24th issued its long-awaited decision in Young v. Hawaii (full decision embedded at bottom of post). The case presented the Circuit with a not-so-straightforward question: Since Hawaii heavily regulates the concealed carriage of firearms, which licensing scheme has been upheld by the Ninth Circuit, can Hawaii even more heavily regulate the open carriage of firearms?
The Ninth Circuit’s answer? Yes, Hawaii can.
