flag Florida lawmakers push to lower gun purchase age to 18, following a court ruling and shifting legal stance.

flag Florida Representative Tyler Sirois has reintroduced HB 133 to lower the state’s firearm purchase age from 21 to 18, a move that passed the House but stalled in the Senate. flag The change follows Attorney General James Uthmeier’s decision not to defend the 21-year-old limit in court, citing the Second Amendment and a federal appeals court ruling that struck down the federal ban on handgun sales to 18- to 20-year-olds. flag The NRA has asked the Supreme Court to review the case. flag Meanwhile, a Florida appeals court declared the state’s 1987 open carry ban unconstitutional, making open carry legal under state law, though legislative clarification is pending. flag Senate leadership seeks input from law enforcement, and groups like the Florida Sheriffs Association remain opposed. flag Gun rights advocates continue pushing for full Second Amendment protections, while businesses like Publix say they will comply with the new law.
