FED. COURT DENIES REHEARING IN CASE AGAINST MINN. YOUNG ADULT CARRY BAN<\/a><\/p>\n

BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has\u00a0denied<\/a>\u00a0a petition for a rehearing in a Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) case which found Minnesota\u2019s ban on carry permits for young adults ages 18-20 is unconstitutional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case is known as\u00a0Worth v. Harrington<\/a><\/em>, and it was filed in June 2021. Joining SAF in this case are the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, Firearms Policy Coalition and three private citizens, Austin Dye, Axel
\nAnderson and Kristin Worth, for whom the case is known. They are represented by attorneys Blair W. Nelson of Bemidji, Minn., and David H. Thompson, Peter A. Patterson and William V. Bergstrom at Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

In its order, the Eighth Circuit also denied a request for an en banc panel hearing. U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Menendez, a 2021 Joe Biden appointee, ruled in March 2023 that Minnesota\u2019s permitting age restriction is unconstitutional. The case was appealed to the Eighth Circuit, which upheld Judge Menendez decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, Judge Menendez made the right call in the first place,\u201d said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. \u201cAs we contended all along, the right of the people mentioned in the Second Amendment was not limited to those over a certain age. Certainly young adults fall within the definition of \u2018the people\u2019 ever since they\u2019ve been allowed to vote, and generations before that when they were considered part of the militia, and have been accepted into the military.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expected to prevail at trial and again at the appeals court level,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cWe are gratified by the Eight Circuit\u2019s decision, and now we will see whether Minnesota submits a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court. For the time being, we have notched another victory in our ongoing effort to win firearms freedom one lawsuit at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n
