18-20yr olds Win 2A rights in Texas 5th circuit.

[Texasgrillchef]

Today in the 5th circuit District court. A Summary judgment was issued in favor of 18-20 year olds having the constitutional right to carry handguns.

The enjoinment is stayed 30 days, or pending final resolution if appealed.

While Texas would let this stand, because we support their rights. Texas will be appealing so that it ends up in front of SCOTUS.

Why? Because unless SCOTUS makes a ruling it won’t become nation wide “law”. If we let it stand, Texas LTC holders may lose reciprocity with some states.

Either-way this is a win for 2A rights.

This is the way.

Would be great if the other pro-2A states file a amicus brief with the court

That will come after the appeal is filed. Even then might not come until an En Banc hearing is granted. Maybe not even until a petition for cert has been filed.

Keep in mind several other tactics. Other cases have been filed in several other circuits. The idea is to either get all the circuits to agree, so that a SCOTUS rulling is not needed, OR a circuit split is created, giving SCOTUS a bigger reason to grant cert to one of the Circuit cases. Probably one that looses their En Banc hearing.

This is a dupe.

CA5 TX rules 18-20 yo allowed to Carry

NRA v McCraw was decided a few years back on whether 18-20s could purchase handguns. It was decided NOT. Today, referencing NRA v McCraw & Bruen, CA5 decided while you still can’t purchase one, you CAN carry a handgun. Progress…...

Like I said though, what Texas is doing is all pre-planned. What wasn’t pre planned is what the Circuit court would decide. However, it’s pretty well know. That the 5th circuit is way more conservative then any decesion coming out of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 9th circuits.

Like I said the idea. Is to get all the circuits on the same page, or create a circuit split to give SCOTUS a bigger reason to grant cert.

That was a dupe as well. I posted it here https://www.mdshooters.com/threads/post-mcdonald-second-amendment-cases.41822/ 2 hours earlier than both.

Some of us dont keep tabs of every forum. Being as new as this case is, it should be in this forum though. IMHO though.

Sometimes some topics need to be in multiple forums Though. Because while the central topic might be the same, the discussion can be about different things on that same topic.

"Dark side" of Bruen - Texas Constitutional Carry declared unconstitutional due to it specifically applying to 21+ carriers and bars 18-20 year olds.

Can be fixed by (according to opinion):
Blanket Con Carry
License for 18-20
Allow conceal carry OR open carry only (meh)
Add other "hoops" so long as they don't conflict with Bruen (double meh)

Basically, give them a way to carry.
