Florida Court Rules 18-Year-Olds Have Same Gun Rights as Adults

  • A Florida appeals court ruled that the state's ban on concealed carry for 18- to 20-year-olds violates the Second Amendment.
  • The court emphasized that young adults can serve in the military but face restrictions on self-defense rights.
  • The ruling stems from a case involving an 18-year-old charged with concealed carry, which the court overturned.
