Hopefully, it's a precedent...
The South Carolina State Supreme Court ruled that the age for legal ownership of handguns should be lowered from 21 to 18. Most states have a 21 or older law for handgun ownership. While I can certain question the maturity of some 18 year olds, I thoroughly agree that if you are old enough to fight and die for your country in the Armed Forces, you are old enough to make the decision to purchase a handgun.
Good Job South Carolina.
