Tl;dr: Hawaii was issuing zero permits to carry a firearm for self-defense. Citizen sued saying that Hawaii's refusal to issue the permits was an infringement of their 2A rights. The 9th Circuit issued this ruling which states that the 2A does not guarantee the right to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense.
This doesn't change much of anything for right now, but this will probably end up being one of the next big gun control cases taken to SCOTUS.
