lawsuit challenges a new gun ban on Hawaii beaches
HONOLULU (AP) — Sun’s out, guns out? Not on Hawaii’s world-famous beaches.
Beginning Saturday, a new law prohibits carrying a firearm on the sand — and in other places, including banks, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Three Maui residents are suing to block the measure, arguing that Hawaii — which has long had some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and some of the lowest rates of gun violence — is going too far with its wide-ranging ban.
