Judge Mark Pittman, of the Forth Worth division of the U.S. District Court for North Texas, was not at all persuaded by the state's arguments.

Short version: Firearms Policy Coalition, on behalf of two members aged 18-20, sued the State of Texas over their ban on licenses for anyone under the age of 21.

The court, in light of Bruen: plaintiffs are correct. Injunction issued against that restriction (stayed for 30 days pending appeal).

The judge even cited Audie Murphy, age 19 when he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
