A federal judge has blocked the state of Hawaii from enforcing a recently enacted ban on firearms on its prized beaches and in other areas including banks, bars and parks, citing last year's landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.

    The law in question prohibits licensed carry of firearms from a list of areas and premises, it does not only ban guns on beaches.

      Hang on… There is unlicensed carry that might be banned specifically on beaches? Isn’t unlicensed carry in general like… Illegal or something?

        I think the headline is misleading is all. The law in question deals only with persons who have a license to carry. If a person does not have a license to carry, it remains illegal for them to bring guns to the beach.
