Hawaii 's high court says a man can be prosecuted for carrying a gun in public without a permit.

The ruling stems from a 2017 case against Christopher Wilson , who had a loaded pistol in his waistband .

Hawaii has long had some of the strictest gun laws in the country.

"The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally-mandated lifestyle," the ruling says.

"It's happening in a bunch of different directions, and the source of the change is the new methodology that the Supreme Court announced in the Bruen case because it instructs courts to evaluate the constitutionality of laws based solely on whether they are in some ill-defined sense consistent with historical tradition."
