Hawaii is now a "Shall Issue" State :: 03/21/2014

"The Peruta dominos continue to fall. In an earlier decision in Baker v Kealoha, a District Court refused to rule in favor of the plaintiff, Christopher Baker. Baker had moved for an injunction against various Hawaii state agencies that had denied him a carry license. As a Ninth Circuit panel summed up the District Court's rationale, the District Court denied the motion because, "Bakerwas not likely to establish that Hawaii's restrictions on carrying firearms in public were unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, and therefore, Baker was not likely to succeed onthe merits." But that was pre-Peruta . . ."

Peruta is a landmark decision, one that bears watching. Could New York, Maryland, and other tough nuts finally get cracked?
