Illinois Senate Committee Will Consider Suppressor Measure Wednesday

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit struck down Maryland’s attempt to impose a sweeping “default ban” on lawful concealed carry on private property open to the public.

Today (January 20), the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments on Hawaii’s ban on carrying guns on private property that is open to the public—at least unless the property owner has given express consent for the carrying of guns.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard Wolford v. Lopez. It is a challenge to Hawaii’s law banning citizens with permits to carry handguns from going armed on any private property in the state unless the property owner has given express permission to do so. Here is what was said.

On Sept. 20, 2025, the sound of gunfire carried across the 110-acre grounds of the Arlington-Fairfax Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America in Fairfax County, Va. But this wasn’t just another day at the range.

The North Carolina House of Representatives rescheduled the veto override vote on Senate Bill 50, or the “Freedom to Carry NC,” to February 9, 2026.
