Hawaii doesn’t want firearms on its beaches. The state’s latest gun control law goes before a judge

Seems sensible to us.. maybe plaintiffs should move to another state with beachs – like here for example in Texas where they can fill up their monster truck with gas and shoot guns to their heart’s content!

 

A legal battle over whether Hawaii can continue enforcing a new law banning firearms on its world-famous beaches went before a U.S. judge, who said Friday she would rule as soon as possible but didn’t give a specific date.

The state’s latest gun control measure landed in court because of a lawsuit by three Maui residents who want to carry guns on beaches and other places deemed sensitive by the law, which took effect this month and involves a misdemeanor offense.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs, Jason and Alison Wolford and Atom Kasprzycki, say they especially want to protect themselves at isolated beaches where they might be fishing or going for a walk rather than sunbathing or swimming.

If U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi grants the temporary restraining order they seek, the law would be blocked on an emergency basis as the lawsuit plays out. After hearing from attorneys during Friday’s hearing, which focused on technical and historical legal questions, Kobayashi said she would consider the matter and then issue a written order.
