A Pennsylvania appeals court has denied a petition to rehear a Pennsylvania case that challenged statutes prohibiting young adults from carrying firearms for self-defense and from acquiring a license to carry a firearm.
The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has sided with a pro-gun rights group by refusing to rehear a case in which the group’s opponents sought to restrict the ability of young adults to carry firearms. The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on March 27 that denied a petition for a rehearing of the Second Amendment Foundation’s victory in a case that challenged statutes prohibiting law-abiding adults aged 18–21 from carrying firearms for self-defense and blocked them from acquiring a license to carry a firearm because of their age.
