Gun Rights History Being Made Right Now
The Supreme Court's denial of certiorari in Worth v. Jacobson upholds the Eighth Circuit's ruling that 18-20 year olds have a Second Amendment right to carry handguns for self-defense. This decision, while currently specific to the Eighth Circuit states (Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota), creates a pathway to challenge federal bans on handgun sales to this age group. Individuals in these states are encouraged to apply for concealed carry permits and, if denied, to contact the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) to initiate legal action.
