- Florida court says 18-year-olds have same gun rights as other adults
A Florida court ruled that 18-year-olds possess the same gun rights as other adults. Judge Spencer Levine argued that restricting young adults' gun access would render the Second Amendment a 'second-class' right.
- 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.
