'The Dobbs majority engaged in historical fiction,' says Hawai'i's Wilson

Supreme Court of Hawai'i upheld state criminal laws confining handguns and ammunition to the "possessor's place of business, residence, or sojourn" A separate provision provides for permits to carry (which historically no one got), but the defendant had not applied for a permit and thus had no standing to challenge that provision.

Volokh Conspiracy : "The Dobbs majority engaged in historical fiction".

Wilson: The guarantee "incorporates the 2nd Amendment " but "should not be construed as to prevent the state legislature from passing legislation imposing reasonable restrictions upon the right of the people to keep and bear arms" Wilson: Delegate Jack H. Mizuha , Chairman of the Committee on Bill of Rights , read those very words when bringing the provision before the convention.

John Sutter : Court found that Bruen lacked standing to challenge right to bear arms ban.

Sutter says the 1950 Constitution of Hawai'i included no right to keep and bear arms.

He says the Constitution of Hawaii was a U.S. Territory from 1898 until 1959 , when open carry was legal.

He cites Ninth Circuit's 2021 decision in Young v. Hawaii v. Young, which upheld ban on open carry.
