The unmistakable momentum toward recognizing the fundamental rights of young adults to keep and bear arms continued this week. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Minnesota’s attempt to deny this freedom to 18-to-20-year-olds in a victory for the Second Amendment.

This action followed last summer’s Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals determination that the state’s prohibition on young adults obtaining carry permits was unconstitutional.

The high court denied Minnesota’s Petition for Writ of Certiorari. The district court issued an injunction against the state law, and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in Jacobson v. Worth.

With the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up the case, the lower court’s decision against prohibiting young adults from purchasing and carrying weapons is final. 

Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack celebrated the triumph. “We are encouraged by today’s ruling, that the Supreme Court was happy to let the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that 18-to-20-year-olds are part of ‘the People’ who have the right to carry a handgun for self-defense, stand. This ruling will have reverberations nationwide, where SAF is involved in multiple similar suits, seeking to restore the rights of young adults who face similarly unconstitutional laws in their home states.”

SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb echoed Sack’s sentiment. “We are cautiously optimistic that the denial will have a positive impact in SAF’s challenges to similar bans in other states. Our goal is to remove any impediments for adults—no matter their age—to exercise their Second Amendment rights wherever they live.”

The current makeup of the Supreme Court is becoming notorious in its refusal to take up gun cases. That pattern was firmly established after the bench’s landmark 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Along with denying Minnesota’s appeal, the justices left the gun ban on the University of Michigan campus intact. There was no dissent noted in either decision.

The Supreme Court decision surprised some observers, as there are multiple and conflicting rulings on states banning young adults from possessing firearms.
