Trying to figure out what SCOTUS will do based on what
questions the justices ask is far from an exact science. That being
said the court watchers are asserting that it looks like Hawaii's
Vampire Law is going byebye.
The
name is based on popular fiction wherein it is said that a vampire can
not enter a human dwelling unless first invited in. The current law in
Hawaii and four other states says that a person with a valid gun permit
can not enter private property opened to the general public (such as a
retail establishment during normal business hours) while carrying a gun
unless there is specific signage posted permitting the carrying of
firearms on the premises.
I
am fairly confident that, if the ruling goes against them, the four
states in question will try very hard to come up with additional
work-arounds in order to continue to deny honest, law-abiding citizens
their constitutional rights. That is just where their heads are at.
The
other states are California, New York, Maryland and New Jersey. The
law in Maryland was recently overturned by the 4th Circuit Court of
Appeals.
