    Presonally, I never understood the idea that you are adult enough for some decisions that could affect your life and not others. By a certain age, you are an adult or you are not. Does that mean you won't still make stupid decisions? Absolutely not. I know plenty of people far older than 18, or 21, that should never be allowed a handgun or alchohol.

    And another one falls via Bruen and the 14th amendment!
    To the extent that Texas’s statutory scheme, TEX. PENAL CODE § 46.02(a) and TEX. GOV’T CODE §§ 411.172(a)(2), (g), (h), (i),
    prohibits law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds from carrying handguns for self-defense outside the home based solely on their age,
    this statutory scheme violates the Second Amendment, as incorporated against the States via the Fourteenth Amendment.

    Defendants and all their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or
    participation with them are hereby ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from enforcing Texas’s statutory scheme against law-abiding
    18-to-20-year-olds based solely on their age.

    It's currently stayed for 30 days so it can be appealed by the state.

    I think you can look at insured actuary tables and see that 25 is the age when men constantly make good decisions.
