Eighth Circuit Court Rules 3-0: Minnesota's Handgun Carry Ban for Under-21s Unconstitutional
Jul 16, 2024, 05:46 PM
A federal appeals court has ruled that Minnesota's law requiring individuals to be at least 21 years old to carry a handgun in public is unconstitutional. The decision, made by the St. Louis-based Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in a 3-0 ruling, found that the state's ban violated the Second Amendment rights of 18- to 20-year-olds. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, along with national partners and individual plaintiffs, celebrated the decision as a significant victory for gun rights. The court's decision raises further questions about the future of gun control laws in the United States.
