After pursuing a few unsuccessful lawsuits in 2008, 2010, and 2012; attorney Alan Beck- after learning of George Young's case, decided to offer his help on a pro bono basis. On July 24, 2018 - the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, ruled that the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, protects the right to openly carry firearms in public for self defense. Restrictions on the Concealed Carry of firearms were left in place, being that the 9th Circuit stated "the concealed carry of firearms categorically falls outside Second Amendment." https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/07/24/12-17808.pdf Hawaii County is currently seeking to have the decision appealed.http://www.staradvertiser.com/2018/09/14/breaking-news/hawaii-appeals-decision-to-allow-guns-in-public/ References |
