The Supreme Court declines to take up a Hawaii man's appeal of his prosecution for carrying a handgun without a license.

The case involved the state's rules for licenses to carry handguns in public.

Christopher Wilson didn't have a permit to acquire a gun or a license to carry it and was charged with violating Hawaii laws for carrying or possessing a handgun.

Wilson sought to dismiss the charges on the grounds that they violated his Second Amendment rights under two recent Supreme Court decisions.
