A Florida appeals court rules that the state’s ban on concealed carry for adults ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment. According to reporting from multiple outlets, a three-judge panel unanimously strikes down the nearly 40-year-old restriction. The decision comes after the state attorney general, James Uthmeier, declined to defend the law, effectively conceding that it is unconstitutional. The panel’s ruling states that 18- to 20-year-olds have the same constitutional gun rights as other adults with respect to carrying concealed weapons, and it therefore invalidates the age-based prohibition. As described in the sources, Uthmeier’s position played a central role in the case’s posture, with the court ultimately issuing a ruling consistent with that concession. The reporting indicates the court’s action takes the ban out of effect, removing the restriction on permits for that age group. No additional changes to Florida gun laws beyond the concealed carry age restriction are described in the accounts provided.
