High Court weighs Hawaii’s ‘vampire rule’ curbing armed entry on private property
TL;DR
The Supreme Court hears a challenge to Hawaii’s 2023 gun law that bans entering private property while armed without permission, a provision dubbed the ‘vampire rule.’ Gun-rights advocates say it erodes publicly carried gun rights and counters the Court’s 2022 ruling extending the Second Amendment beyond the home, while Hawaii defends it as protecting private-property rights; a lower-court split decision and potential implications for similar laws in several states are at stake.
