‘Lawful Carry Is Dangerous’: Prosecutors Urge Supreme Court to Let States Ban Guns by Default
Prosecutors urge Supreme Court to back Hawaii law banning guns in businesses unless owners give explicit consent. A coalition of progressive prosecutors led by New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg has urged the Supreme Court to allow states to presumptively ban firearms from all private property open to the public, unless the owner explicitly consents to firearms being allowed. The brief supports Hawaii's "no-carry default" law, which criminalizes carrying firearms onto most private commercial property unless there is clear signage or express permission allowing firearms. The prosecutors argue that this is a neutral way to respect property rights and aligns with the presumed wishes of most business owners. However, the brief includes a specific case against legally armed individuals, framing their presence in businesses as potentially dangerous or disruptive. If upheld, laws like Hawaii's could create widespread gun-free zones by default across entire states.
