Florida appeals court shoots down concealed carry age restrictions

A Florida appeals court ruled that the state's 2023 law banning 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying concealed firearms violates the Second Amendment. The decision, issued in a case involving Jaylen Eubanks, who was arrested for improper firearm exhibition, found age-based restrictions on self-defense unconstitutional. Florida's attorney general declined to defend the law, while local prosecutors argued for its upholding.
