Minnesota's Gun Permit Age Requirement Struck Down by Federal Judge

A federal judge has struck down a Minnesota law that prohibited adults aged 18-20 from obtaining permits to carry handguns in public. The judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional and violated the Second Amendment. The ruling enables adults under 21 to obtain a license to carry a handgun in public in Minnesota, provided they meet all the other requirements of the law. The decision opens the door for Minnesota to appeal the district court's decision all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
