Professor Jacob D. Charles is quoted in the Axios article, "Supreme Court's Hawai'i Gun Law Ruling Narrows Playbook for Other States." The article examines the Supreme Court's ruling in Wolford v. Lopez that shifted the burden of keeping guns out of private businesses from state legislatures to business owners.

States can still set a default ban on private property that is not open to the public — such as office buildings and private homes, Jacob Charles, a law professor at Pepperdine University, tells Axios.

"Under the terms of the Wolford decision, it does not invalidate that part of Hawaiʻi's law," Charles says.

He suggested states could adopt "forced choice" laws requiring businesses to explicitly state whether guns are allowed inside and post corresponding signs at their entrances.
