Washington – The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether licensed weapons owners have the right to wear their weapons in public places, including parks, beaches and shops.
The question is the laws in California, Hawaii and in three other states, which usually prohibit wearing weapons in private or state property.
Three years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the law-abiding weapon owners have the right to find the 2nd correction in order to obtain permission to carry hidden weapons when they leave the house.
But the judges left openly the question of whether the States and Cities can prohibit the transfer of weapons in “sensitive places”, and if so, where.
In response in California, he adopted a strict law that prohibits weapons owners to carry their firearms in most state or private places that are open to the public if the owner did not publish a sign allowing such weapons.
The 9th District Court of Appeal noted this provision last year as too far, but he supported most of the law in Hawaii, which limited the wearing of weapons in public places and most of the private enterprises that are open to the public.
Defenders with weapons turned The Supreme Court called on the judges to decide that such restrictions on wearing hidden weapons violate the 2nd amendment.
The court agreed to consider the case at the beginning of next year.
The lawyers of the Trump administration called on the judges to act according to the law in Hawaii.
It “operates as an almost finished ban on public transfer. A person with a self-defense pistol commits a crime, entering a shopping center, refueling, a shop, a supermarket, a restaurant, a cafe or even a parking lot, ”said D. John Sauer, General Soliser.
Weapons management lawyers said that Hawaii took the “law of common sense, which prohibits the wearing of firearms on private property of others.”
“The 9th district was absolutely right to say that it was constitutionally prohibiting the weapon in private property if the owner does not say that he wants weapons there,” said Janet Carter, managing director of the trial of a second amendment, in every law. “This law respects people's right to be safe in their own ownership, and we urge the Supreme Court to support it.”
