Title: State Of Hawaii Sued For Second Amendment Violations

 

 

Honolulu, HI --(Ammoland.com)- The Hawaii Defense Foundation’s founding director and president, Christopher Baker, has filed a lawsuit against Honolulu Chief of Police Louis Kealoha, the Honolulu Police Department, the City and County of Honolulu, the State of Hawaii, and Governor Neil Abercrombie in connection with civil rights violations of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

 

The complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii by attorneys Richard Holcomb, Alan Beck, and Kevin O’Grady alleges that Hawaii’s license to carry statute and various other firearm regulations are unconstitutional.

 

State law mandates that citizens may be provided licenses to carry only in “exceptional circumstance” or “where a need or urgency has been sufficiently indicated,” all at the discretion of the county’s Chief of Police.

 

The complaint asserts that this language violates the Second Amendment, which secures the right of all responsible, law-abiding citizens to bear arms for the purpose of self-defense. Additionally, the complaint also addresses the use of non-lethal tools for self-defense such as electric guns, which are banned in in Hawaii.

I think these lawsuits (NJ, HI, etc.) just strengthen the case for a national constitutional carry legislation that applies the 2A across all 50 states (and the territories) equally. My interpretation of the 2A is that if you can legally purchase a handgun (i.e. you're not a convicted felon), then you should have the right to carry...period.

Thanks Joey, I knew I loved you for some good reason.

My interpretation of the 2A is that if you can legally purchase a handgun (i.e. you're not a convicted felon), then you should have the right to carry...period.

 

My interpretation of the 2A is "Shall not be infringed," period.
