Frequently Asked Questions

What did Texas do regarding the law on young adult firearm carry?

Texas withdrew its legal challenge against the law that allowed adults aged 18 to just under 21 years old to carry firearms. This action was requested from a judge in the fifth circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

Who was involved in the legal challenge concerning 18-20 year old carry laws in Texas?

The Texas Attorney General's office was involved in the legal challenge. The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has also been active in challenging such laws nationwide, supporting the rights of young adults.

Why was Texas's initial appeal of the young adult carry law considered confusing?

The speaker found it confusing because the state initially supported constitutional carry legislation, then later appealed a specific part of that law that pertained to individuals aged 18 to 20.

What is the argument for allowing 18-20 year olds to carry firearms?

The argument is that if 18-year-olds are deemed old enough to serve in the military and operate heavy weaponry overseas, they should also have the constitutional right to bear arms for self-defense within the United States.
