Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Jacobson v. Worth case at the Supreme Court?

The US Supreme Court denied certiorari (cert) in the Jacobson v. Worth case. This means the Court will not review the case, and the lower court's ruling in favor of Second Amendment rights for 18-20 year olds stands as precedent.

What specific Second Amendment right was at issue in Jacobson v. Worth?

The Jacobson v. Worth case specifically addressed whether 18, 19, and 20-year-olds have the full Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, particularly focusing on the right to carry a gun in public for self-defense.

What was the significance of the 8th Circuit's ruling in Jacobson v. Worth?

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Minnesota's law denying 18-20 year olds the right to obtain a concealed carry permit was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court's denial of cert upholds this ruling as precedent.

Why might the Supreme Court have denied cert in Jacobson v. Worth?

The Supreme Court may have denied cert to avoid expanding political capital on Second Amendment issues or because there wasn't a clear circuit split on the specific issue of carrying rights for young adults at that time. They might be waiting for cases addressing the right to acquire firearms.
