As posted on our site previously (click here for details), the Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association, the Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol Club and several individual citizens have joined together in a lawsuit against the Delaware Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Parks and Recreation and Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Agriculture’s State Forest Service challenging long-standing broad-based regulations promulgated by those agencies banning the otherwise lawful possession of firearms by otherwise law-abiding citizens in Delaware’s State Parks, State Forests and State Wildlife Areas.
The lawsuit seeks a declaration from the Court declaring those regulations as unconstitutional under Article I Section 20 of Delaware’s Constitution. The suit also asks for an injunction barring further enforcement of those unconstitutional regulations.
