This is Handel on the Law, marginal legal advice, where I tell you you have no case and hopefully ruin your day, because that's always a pleasure to do this.

The Supreme Court of the United States, as you probably know, really likes gun ownership.

They're very big on liberally looking at Second Amendment rights.

And so out of that comes an entire slew of cases.

Now let's go back to the original case of you can carry a gun.

You can have a gun.

It goes back, I don't know, 40 years ago, or even longer, to the Heller

decision. It's out of New York, out of Detroit, where the court said that you can't ban someone

from having a gun in their house if it's for self-protection. That was how limited that was.

Well, it's blown wide open. So there is a law, was a law in Hawaii. And because of the

Heller decision and other decisions, Hawaiian lawmakers passed a bill that the governor, Democratic

Governor Josh Green, signed. And what it did, looking at laws that have been already decided, deterring gun violence was the point by barring firearms in, quote, sensitive places.

And they decide what sensitive places are, like parks where kids hang around. You weren't allowed to have a gun.

Well, a U.S. District judge in Honolulu concluded that those prohibitions on the rights of permit

carrying gun owners in those places, in sensitive places, infringed on the Second Amendment for a person's

right to keep and bear arms. And he can do it any, he or she can do it any place in public

for self-defense. Wow. Now, I'm assuming private venues, for example, when you go to a stadium, you go to a ballgame or you go to a concert and they say no weapons. I think they can say that. Public parks? Obviously not. Not in Hawaii. Now, this is a U.S. District Court judge. This is the lowest level of the federal

judiciary system. And then it goes up to the, I think it's the first district is Hawaii. I think it is.

Or the ninth district. Excuse me. Yeah, I think it's a ninth district. And then maybe or maybe not,

it goes up to the Supreme Court.

If I had to guess, the ninth district is going to uphold the lower court judge based on what the

Supreme Court has said.
