Survival is step one. We’re step two.
Can a state force you to get permission before carrying a firearm into a business that’s open to the public? Does the Second Amendment protect your right to enter private property unless the owner tells you otherwise? Did the Supreme Court just strike down one of the most restrictive carry laws in America?
Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor break down the U.S. Supreme Court’s major decision in Wolford v. Lopez, a case challenging Hawaii’s controversial “vampire rule” that presumed all private businesses were gun-free unless owners gave express permission to carry.
The Court reaffirmed the principles announced in District of Columbia v. Heller and made clear that NYSRPA v. Bruen remains the controlling framework for evaluating Second Amendment challenges. Hawaii attempted to justify its law using historical analogues ranging from colonial-era poaching laws to trespassing statutes and even a Louisiana Black Code—but the Court rejected those arguments.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What Hawaii’s “vampire rule” actually required• Why the Supreme Court found the law unconstitutional• How the Court applied the Bruen historical-tradition test• Justice Barrett’s strong concurrence defending constitutional rights• Why the dissent argued the Second Amendment wasn’t even implicated• What this ruling means for permit holders across the country• Whether other states with similar laws could now face constitutional challenges
This decision represents another significant Second Amendment victory and provides important guidance on how courts should evaluate firearm restrictions going forward.
