The Supreme Court made a significant ruling on Tuesday, overturning a decision that previously permitted 18-year-olds to openly carry guns during emergencies in Pennsylvania. The high court's brief order did not have any noted dissents, effectively upholding a ban on individuals aged 18 to 20 from carrying guns in public during a declared state of emergency.
This development comes at a time of notable changes in firearm legislation, following a pivotal Supreme Court decision in 2022 that expanded gun rights. The Supreme Court emphasized that any restrictions on firearms must be rooted in a strong historical basis.
