Oklahoma Bill To Reduce CCW Age Requirement

[lukem]

An Oklahoma bill that would lower the minimum age requirements for obtaining a concealed weapon permit from 21 to 18 is headed to the state House for consideration. They are allowed to vote and join the military so why shouldn't they be allowed to go through the training everyone else has to take and carry a concealed firearm? We'll keep an eye on this to see if it passes.

It is interesting. Doubt it will pass though.

Interesting but I also am very doubtful it will pass. I guess being allowed to vote and join the military doesn't include the right to buy/consume alcohol or carry a concealed weapon..... I'm not agreeing, just stating facts.....

I totally agree I don't see it ever passing but with Alaska and New Hampshire's minimum age at 16 I guess anything could happen.

The Constution of the United States gives 18 year olds the right to vote which means they are according to the law ADULTS! If anyone is old enough to vote, get married, sign a contract, own property, buy a car, and be in the armed forces risking death, they are old enough to carry a gun. Imagine a 19 year old soldier who is been in combat protecting ALL of us coming home on leave and being told he(she) cant carry a gun because he(she) isnt old enough. If you are 18 you should be able to get a CCW and if you are irresponsible with the gun pay the price. By the way I am 55.
