MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Three young adults have filed a federal lawsuit alleging Minnesota’s minimum age of 21 to carry a gun is unconstitutional.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Wednesday that Kristin Worth, Austin Dye and Axel Anderson filed the action on Monday. Three gun groups the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition joined them on the complaint.
They argue that the minimum carry age of 21 is discriminatory since anyone at least 18 years old is considered an adult for most purposes.
“There is simply no legal or constitutional justification that an entire class of adult citizens in Minnesota should be completely denied their fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms,” said Bryan Strawser, chairman of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus.
