Question presented
Texas and at least eight other states have laws making it illegal (with very narrow exceptions) for citizens between the ages of eighteen and twenty to carry a handgun outside of the home, even when carried solely for personal protection. Did this Court’s opinion issued in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), invalidate Texas Penal Code section 46.02 and similar laws?
