AG Ellison announced that he is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court a lower court decision in Worth v. Jacobson, which struck down a state law limiting permits for public carrying of handguns to people 21 or over, to the extent it applies to Minnesotans aged 18 to 20. Attorney General Ellison is asking the Supreme Court to review the case to protect the safety of Minnesotans. “I’m committed to using all the tools I have to reduce gun violence and improve public safety, and today, I’m asking the Supreme Court to join me. I believe Minnesota’s ban on 18-to-20-year-olds carrying loaded handguns in public is constitutional and will lead to fewer senseless gun deaths across our state. I’m proud to keep defending this common-sense, gun safety law against special interests that put their ideology over your safety.” – AG Ellison
