It is legal in VT. for 16 year olds to carry concealed weapons.
Yes, as long as they are in Vermont and not in a place where concealed weapons are prohibited.
Please note that under federal law a 16-year-old cannot buy any firearm. Minimum age to buy long guns is 18. For handguns it's 21.
Howard Dean is in favor of allowing states to set their own gun control laws.
So he has said.
So, taken to it's logical conclusion, in a Dean presidency, a state could set a law allowing 8 year olds to carry concealed weapons without any Federal protest.
That is no different than the present situation. The same could have been said of any past or present President.
What state or states have proposals to allow 8-year-olds to carry concealed weapons?
Without a state law to prohibit it, that 8 year old could carry that gun unto a playground or into a school cafeteria.
True but academic. All 50 states have laws prohibiting concealed weapons in schools.
You might not have a problem with that, but I do. And I think many pro-gun ownership rights voters would, too.
It's a fantasy.
