HB 918 - Can you advise the details? I’m a little confused regarding your synopsis. If I have a protective order against somebody, then I’m allowed to get a LTC?
Unless you're otherwise prohibitted.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't read the bill, but it sounds like it's really just lowering the age at which one can get an LTC from 21 to 18 if they have filed a protective order against a stalker or whatever. You could get an LTC regardless if you're over 21, so what else would be the point of this?
Notwithstanding that I have a problem with our tiered system of ages of majority to begin with, which is a different discussion for another day, but how is this person going to acquire a handgun to carry? Federal law is still 21, right? Only way to get one is to have one gifted to them, or purchase from a private seller, correct?
Also, to open another can of worms, will you be able to constitutionally carry (assuming that passes) if you're under 21 and filed a restraining order against someone?
