Pennsylvania cannot bar adults under 21 from carrying guns, court rules
Jan 18 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that Pennsylvania laws that ban 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying firearms in public during a state of emergency are unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights.
The Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 2-1 vote held, opens new tab that the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment extended to adults under the age of 21.

[...]

The ruling was a victory for the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition, two gun rights groups that along with several young Pennsylvanians filed a lawsuit in 2020 challenging the state restrictions on 18- to 20-year-olds carrying guns.
