The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday handed gun rights proponents and concealed carry holders a victory by striking down a Hawaii gun law that mandated that people with concealed carry permits gain permission before carrying their firearms on any private property in the state.

The high court’s 6–3 decision on Thursday means people can carry guns onto privately owned property such as shopping malls and gas stations, unless the owners specifically state that guns are banned at their establishments.
