June 17, 2026, the Fourth District Court of Appeal of Florida ruled in Eubanks v. Florida (4D2025-1698), that section 790.06(2)(b) of the Florida Statutes, which bars law-abiding adults aged 18 to 20 from obtaining concealed carry permits, is factually unconstitutional. The Attorney General’s Office has indicated that they will not be seeking further review of the case. Because no other appellate court has considered the constitutionality of section 790.06(2)(b), under NYSRPA v Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) and United States v. Rahimi, 602 U.S. 681 (2024), the Fourth District’s decision is effectively the law of the state.
As such, the Department is now accepting applications for concealed weapons licenses from applicants 18 years or older and will be issuing licenses to applicants who meet all other eligibility requirements once the mandate is issued by the Court.
