“Old enough to fight—old enough to defend yourself.”
In this episode of Libertarian Leadership Academy, veteran candidate Joe Hannoush speaks with C. Michael Pickens about Florida’s age restrictions on firearm ownership and the contradiction facing young adults. They question how someone can be old enough to be drafted into war, yet legally barred from owning a firearm for personal protection—especially in college towns. The conversation expands to self-defense for marginalized communities, emphasizing that firearms can act as equalizers when physical strength isn’t, and why alternatives often aren’t treated the same.
