In a bit of good news for gun owners coming out of the courts for once, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied Cert in the Worth v. Harrington case, meaning the 8th Circuit’s overturning of Minnesota’s ban on 18 to 20-year-olds carrying a firearm will remain!
Bullet Points: The Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition brought the case and will hold firm until another circuit possibly comes up with a different result.
- Other cases regarding the rights of 18 to 20-year-olds are being tried in the courts. A different result from another district may force the Supreme Court to take up the issue.
- Keep in mind that these are adults. We will send them to war, but they can’t carry a firearm for self-defense?
- Gun grabbers in Minnesota tried to claim that the age group should not have access to guns and that they posed more of a risk by allowing them to carry.
- The 8th Circuit judges disagreed with the gun grabbers and said they showed no evidence to back up their claim.
Gun Owner Takeaway: Gun owners knew the arguments by the gun grabbers in Minnesota were garbage. Gun owners in Idaho, from that specific group, have had Constitutional Carry for years now, and there has been no evidence of any change in shootings by said age group.
