The U.S. Supreme Court denied review Monday in a case which challenged gun licensing laws in Hawaii — and the court’s conservative trio made no secret of its shared disdain for the Aloha State’s take on the Second Amendment.

The case stems from a December 2017 during which a man named Christopher Wilson went for a nighttime hike with friends in the West Maui Mountains. When the group strayed onto private property, the owner called the police. Upon their arrival, Wilson informed them he was carrying a gun. The firearm was unlicensed, and Wilson said he had purchased it in Florida four years earlier.

Wilson was prosecuted by Hawaii authorities for carrying an unlicensed firearm in public. Although Wilson had never applied for a gun license, he moved to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that Hawaii’s licensing regime violated the Second Amendment by restricting him from carrying a firearm for self-defense. Wilson relied heavily on the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case, the nation’s highest court struck down New York’s handgun licensing regime and held that the Second Amendment demands a “historical analogue” before upholding the restrictions on guns.
