NSSF to File Amicus Brief in Texas Case
November 8, 2011Printer Friendly | Email |
(GunReports.com) -- In response to a ruling by a federal judge in the Northern District of Texas, the National Shooting Sports Foundation plans to file a friend-of-the-court brief in support of NRA's appeal of the ruling in Jennings v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
In the case, the NRA and a group of responsible young adults argued that because 18- to 20-year olds are considered adults for virtually every other purpose, such as voting and military service, adults in this age group should also be able to purchase handguns from licensed retailers.
A similar case, in which many of the same plaintiffs challenge the state of Texas' ban on issuance of right-to-carry permits to adults under 21, remains pending in the same court.
