The state of Hawaii has expanded concealed carry, though many public places where people can carry their firearms have also been prohibited under the governor's watch.
Gov. Josh Brown signed the legislation on Friday, which forbids people from carrying their guns to various places, including beaches, hospitals, stadiums, bars that serve alcohol, and movie theaters. If a private business wishes to allow their customers to conceal carry, they must post the proper sign informing the customers that it is allowed, according to the Associated Press.
Green has been an advocate for reducing gun violence, describing it as a public health crisis and saying action should be taken to address it.Green's latest expansion on concealed carry comes after a Supreme Court ruling last year expanded gun rights for citizens, with the court saying U.S. residents have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense.
Last year, the state of Hawaii was recorded to have had the second-lowest gun death rate in the U.S., trailing only Massachusetts, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
