Think about the consequences of unfettered "liberty" - rights without responsibility.
Age is meaningless. Again, there are many "kids" who are far more responsible than some "adults."

To bear means to carry.

What rules are different?

Then a responsible person would get the means on how to drive, or in this case, shoot.
I'm all for lowering the age for veterans... But what about the guys who enlist in the national guard as a junior in high school, go to basic training that summer, then go back to finish their senior year. Do you want seniors in high school at 17 years old carrying guns? Is it a bad idea? I haven't developed my opinion on that yet.
There are some children who I'd trust my life over some 40+ year olds. Neither state or federal Constitution has an age limit, places not to carry, method of carry, etc. Both reiterate our ability to carry, how, when, and where we choose, or not choose.
