Handgun Permits For 18-20 Year Olds Ruled Unconstitutional

A federal appeals court has ruled that Minnesota’s ban on handgun permits for 18-20 year olds is unconstitutional, affirming the Second Amendment rights of young adults. This decision impacts six other states in the 8th Circuit.


ST. PAUL, MN (1-minute read) — A federal appeals court has ruled that Minnesota’s ban on 18- to 20-year-olds obtaining a permit to publicly carry a handgun is unconstitutional, violating both the Second and 14th Amendments.

The 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals’ unanimous decision stated that the state failed to prove that individuals aged 18 to 20 should be excluded from carrying handguns for self-defense. This decision comes after gun rights groups challenged the 2003 law.

The ruling follows a recent assassination attempt against Donald Trump by a 20-year-old, which has reignited debate over age-specific gun laws. The AR-style rifle used in the incident was legally purchased by the shooter’s father.

Minnesota’s argument that young adults are not competent to carry firearms was dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

This landmark decision sets a precedent affecting North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison expressed disappointment, while gun rights advocates celebrated the decision.

Safety Tip: Secure firearms to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that young individuals understand the responsibilities of gun ownership.
