My only thought on it is that I thought you had to be 21 to buy a handgun. If you have to be 21 to have a handgun and your CCL doesn't cover anything but handguns then it is a worthless bill.
Is this a step toward having police / correctional officers being hired in at 18? Scary thought huh.

I think 18 year olds in general are not mature enough. That is not to say that some would be though...if the FEDs say you need to be at least 21, then how can a state lower that age group? Many would probably interpret that CCW permit means gun ownership, even at age 18.
I like where this is going.
I think that the CCW age should be 25 IMHO.
Wasnt there a study recently that stated that a males brain isnt fully developed in the area of "long term effects of my actions right now" (in other words), until around the age of 25?
If us males were as rational at 18 as we are at 25 then why the higher auto insurance rates?
But, I agree that is a little contradictory that our youngsters can go (or be sent unwillingly) to war but they cant have a beer when they get back.
On another note: does active military have to get a CCW? Or can they carry legally with a federal pass of some type?
see i'm mixed on all of this. i am 24, and when i was 18 i handled responsibility better then alot of people did my age. I had a full time job, was never late, paid my bills on time, never got in trouble, had a knowledge of right and wrong, stayed out of trouble, and all around responsible. is that what makes someone a adult? i dont know what each persons idea of adult hood it. But i do know that there were people that i knew at that age that werent responsible enough (at the time) to manage there finances, were doing stupid stuff, or just thought they were better then everyone else. Those people i never trusted. There were some that were responsible that i would have trusted to carry (at that age). How ever those people were far and few in between.
i dont want to take anyones liberties away from them (except criminals and the inept) but i think the system is good where its at.
