FROM THE HILL: The Supreme Court took up its next Second Amendment case Friday, agreeing to hear a challenge to Hawaii’s ban on carrying concealed weapons on private property without the owner’s express consent.

Three Hawaii residents and a local gun rights group, backed by the Trump administration, urged the justices to review a lower ruling upholding the state’s law.

In a brief order, the justices set the case to be heard this upcoming term. A decision is expected by next summer.


Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s civil rights division, wrote on X, “Boom! Cert granted in important 2A case, and I’m proud that ⁦@CivilRights⁩ ⁦@TheJusticeDept⁩ filed a cert stage amicus brief to support this.”
