We’ve reported several times over the past year how 18- to 20-year-old gun owners in many states are denied their Second Amendment rights despite being considered “adults” for other constitutionally protected freedoms. It’s a travesty, and many such laws have been taken to court.
The tide is turning, however. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit saw things our way, ruling that a Minnesota law banning 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds from carrying a concealed firearm is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
