19yr old carry a gun in public. I was at church tonight & notice one of the 19yr olds had a pistol in his waist band. What’s y’all thoughts?

Well first of all it's illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to possess a handgun much less conceal carry one.

I was thinking that same thing.

And you’d be absolutely wrong. You can’t purchase a handgun from a LICENSED DEALER until 21. You can posses or private party purchase a handgun at 18 in Texas.

Carrying gets much more convoluted. The general consensus is he can’t carry in public legally until 21, but there are exceptions. I don’t feel like typifying out that mess.

My thought is he’s exercising his 2nd amendment rights, I would not want to deny him or anyone else that right.

And who gives a rats azz.
Did the Constitution mention an age?
We ship em off to die at the age no problem....
Fixing to be a whole lot of illegal things, being done by a whole lot of us in the near future I'm afraid.

Well, I used a model 1911 45 cal at 19. Of course I was in the military. Like MadHatter says, "if he's old enough to be shipped off to die" at 18 then he should be allowed to carry a pistol if he wants too.

Were you able to tell if it was a pistol , bb, pellet or air soft? If he was not threatening anyone let him express his 2nd

I stand corrected.

I don’t even know what typifying is haha apparently I had two words going through me head at once lol

[snappertapper]

I dont think this is simple as most are playing it out to be.

should 18+ year olds be allowed to carry? probably.

Should he be concerned about someone who cant legally have a chl and is carrying in church? Also, absolutely.

Should 18 yr olds be able to buy alchohol, tobacco, and weed? absolutely.

at end of the day there is a grey area, but I would be worried about a 19 year old carrying in church in his waist band. it sounds like something he was showing off more so than expressing his second amendment right.
