夏威夷放宽武器法,允许公开携带致命或危险武器。 Hawaii eases weapons laws, allowing open carry of deadly or dangerous weapons in public.
在美国最高法院就携带自卫火器的权利做出裁决之后,夏威夷放宽了武器法。 Hawaii eases weapons laws following US Supreme Court decision on right to carry firearms for self-defense. 新法律允许公开携带致命或危险武器,取代对蝴蝶刀和被认为违宪的类似物品的禁令。 New law allows open carry of deadly or dangerous weapons in public, replacing a ban on butterfly knives and similar items deemed unconstitutional. 该法导致越来越多的人出于文化和自卫目的公开携带传统武器。 The law has led to an increase in people openly carrying traditional weapons for cultural and self-defense purposes. 然而，夏威夷总检察长办公室强调，新法律并没有为在公共场合携带武器创造自由竞争，因为许多现有的法律和法规仍然管辖武器的使用和持有。 However, Hawaii attorney general's office emphasizes that the new law does not create a free-for-all for carrying weapons in public, as numerous existing laws and regulations still govern their use and possession.
