Delaware Supreme Court Rules Public Housing Tenanats Have Right To Bear Arms

Story.

Quote:

WHA argues that an accidental discharge of a firearm may have serious fatal consequences and that dangers inhere in the increased presence of firearms. But these same concerns would also apply to the area within any apartment — interior locations where the WHA concedes it cannot restrict the possession of firearms for self-defense. The Revised Policy does more than proscribe the unsafe use of a firearm. It also prohibits possession in the public housing common areas except where the firearm is being transported to or from an apartment. In this context, WHA must show more than a general safety concern and it has not done so….

So once again an anti-gun government has failed to show that firearms pose a safety risk that outweighs restricting a civil right.



Note this case was decided in state court under the Delaware Constitution and its right to keep and bear arms clause, not the US Constitution.
