Ban on Handgun Sales to 18-20 Year Olds Ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL
A federal appeals court has ruled unconstitutional a law prohibiting 18-20 year olds from purchasing handguns from licensed dealers. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, found that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms vests at age 18. This ruling, while currently limited to the Fourth Circuit, has significant implications for future Second Amendment litigation nationwide and could be appealed to higher courts.
