- Dissenting judges found the Hawaii statute unconstitutional
- Wednesday's decision affects all states that make up the 9th Circuit, including: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington - many of which are viewed as gun-friendly states.

The full court decision includes a lengthy history of laws that prohibited weapons in public since the 1328 Statute of Northampton and through colonial and early American history.
Examples of laws after the Constitution was enacted include an 1801 Tennessee law that prevented anyone from carrying a firearm with violators facing fines and potential imprisonment.
In 1813, Louisiana punished 'any person who shall be found with any concealed weapon, such as a dirk, dagger, knife, pistol or any other deadly weapon concealed in his bosom, coat or in any other place about him that do not appear in full open view,' the decision reads.
An 1836 Massachusetts statute permitted public carry but only if the person could demonstrate their need to carry for their protection, the decision noted. Other states and territories followed suit.
In the latter 1800s, Kansas and the Territory of Wyoming prohibited both the concealed and open carrying of weapons.

Psaki Tailspins When Asked About Hunter Biden’s $3.5 Million Payment From Moscow Mayor’s Wife
White House press secretary Jen Psaki shot down a question about Hunter Biden’s $3.5 million payment from the former Moscow mayor’s wife, dismissing that report.
“There was a report from the Senate Finance and Homeland Security Committees. It claims that the wife of Moscow’s former mayor paid a company associated with the president’s son $3.5 million. There was no explanation for these alleged payments and I’m wondering if you could tell us if that claim is accurate, and if so, what that $3.5 million was paid for.”
“Not familiar with that claim,” Psaki said. “Doesn’t sound like it’s backed up by a lot of evidence. If you have evidence or specifics, I’m happy to discuss it further.”

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Over the past week, Beijing got a taste of President Joe Biden's new China strategy: first came the dressing-down over human rights by Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a meeting in Alaska. Days later, the European Union, Britain, Canada and the United States joined to censure China's abuses in Xinjiang with coordinated sanctions.
