A federal court in Texas on Thursday struck down a ban on 18-to-21-year-olds carrying a handgun outside the home, ruling it violated the constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.

The lawsuit was brought by two adult plaintiffs within that age group and the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc.
