OKLAHOMA CITY (June 25, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond lauded the United States Supreme Court’s decision today to strike down Hawaii’s prohibition of firearms on private property that is open to the public. The court voted 6-3, siding with a group of gun owners in Wolford v. Lopez to lift the restriction for places such as gas stations, restaurants and shopping malls.
“This decision rightly upholds our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms,” Drummond said. “Hawaii’s law, which required gun permit holders to seek permission to defend themselves, never should have been allowed to stand.”
Drummond and a coalition of 24 other state attorneys general previously filed an amicus brief in the case supporting the law’s reversal.
