Stores sued for imposing age limits on gun sales
I
n response to the February 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida that killed 17 people, some retailers have
modified their policies on firearms sales
. Several, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kroger (which owns Fred Meyer), L.L. Bean, and Walmart, raised their minimum age for gun purchases to 21. In the Parkland attack, the 19-year-old gunman used an AR-15 that he had bought legally.
Now both Dick’s and Walmart are being
sued by Tyler Watson, a 20-year-old Oregon man
who claims the stores engaged in age discrimination by refusing to sell him a rifle. Oregon law allows residents ages 18 years or older to buy shotguns and rifles. Watson’s case and a
similar lawsuit
filed in Michigan by an 18-year-old raise questions about whether retailers can legally impose higher age limits on firearms purchases than those in state law.
