New Gun Law Rules Announced After Supreme Court Ruling — February 2026 Update

Описание: Big legal shifts are happening in early 2026—not because your state passed one “new law overnight,” but because the U.S. Supreme Court is actively shaping the rules that states and prosecutors build around.

This update covers two major Supreme Court cases that are driving February 2026 policy changes and confusion:

Wolford v. Lopez (Hawaii): Can a state flip the default rule on private property open to the public—so it becomes “no carry unless the owner explicitly allows it”? Oyez case summary explains the question and how Hawaii/California changed the default rule for publicly accessible private property. Source
PBS also explains Hawaii’s approach: private property like stores/hotels is generally treated as off-limits unless the owner allows it (verbally or by sign). Source

United States v. Hemani (Federal): What does “unlawful user of a controlled substance” mean for the federal restriction in 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3)? SCOTUSblog’s case page shows this is moving fast, with argument scheduled March 2, 2026. Source
National Constitution Center summarizes the dispute and why the definition matters in real life. Source

What’s “new” in February 2026 (practical meaning):

The “default rule” on private property open to the public is being tested at the Supreme Court level, and states/businesses may adjust signs and policies quickly in response. Source
Federal “category” questions (who is covered by certain federal restrictions) are under fresh review, with Hemani argued March 2, 2026. Source
