The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up a challenge to a Hawaii law that severely restricts where handgun owners may carry their weapons, marking the first key Second Amendment challenge the justices have agreed to hear for the upcoming term.

The case in Wolford v. Lopez deals with a Hawaii law criminalizing carrying a handgun, even with a concealed carry permit, on private property unless the owner, lessee, operator, or manager of the property has given the person “express authorization to carry a firearm on the property.” A group of Hawaiian firearm owners and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition filed the lawsuit against the state in 2023, arguing it violated the Second Amendment.
