This may have been discussed already, but following Heller, I'm now curious as to whether the age requirement of 21 to purchase a handgun is valid, or can be challenged.
Since we all now have the right to own a handgun in the home, would depriving 18-20 year-old American citizens of that right without due process be unconstitutional? If so, there may be a great opportunity to challenge this in a purchase permit state (like NC) in the same manner as Heller did - go to the Sheriff's office, attempt to apply for a permit, get denied, and off you go. No laws broken, but the stage can be set for a suit.
If this would work, any 18-20 volunteers in NC with a clean record interested in soliciting groups for backing?
Thoughts?
