Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the recent Georgia Supreme Court decision regarding the carrying of handguns by individuals aged 18 to 21. Joined by Paul Markle, the conversation delves into the interpretation of the Georgia Constitution, the implications of age restrictions on rights, and the hypocrisy surrounding laws that treat young adults as capable of making significant life decisions while denying them certain rights. The discussion also touches on the role of military training in the context of civilian rights and the potential for legislative changes in response to the court’s ruling. Takeaways The Georgia Supreme Court upheld a law restricting handgun carry for ages 18-21. Interpretation of the Georgia Constitution is open to debate. Age restrictions on rights often lack logical consistency. Young adults can enter into significant contracts but are denied certain rights. The hypocrisy of age laws is evident in various contexts. Military training does not equate to civilian rights. Legislative action is necessary to address these issues. The concept of tyranny is highlighted by unequal laws. Proposed solutions include allowing young adults to choose their rights. The conversation emphasizes the need for honest discussions about rights.
