There is two, maybe even three separate issues there.
Was he to young to possess a weapon? Not under state law.
Even if it was illegal, does that change his self defense claim? Even criminals can defend themselves from unlawful attacks.
They might even try a 2A approach, but rights don't come with a age limit.
Exactly. Charging him with illegal firearm possession makes about as much sense as charging a rape victim with driving without a license after they jump into a car to flee their rapist.
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining that.
