Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code 46.06 to prohibit firearm transfers to anyone under 21 (previously under 18 for handguns and certain other weapons), restricting firearm access for 18-20 year olds. It also deletes the prohibition on transferring clubs or location-restricted knives to those under 18, expanding access for those non-firearm items, but the primary substantive change is on firearms.
