DSSA, Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol and some individuals have filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery over the administrative ban on possession of firearms in Delaware State Parks and State Forests. The defendants are DNREC, the Delaware Department of Agriculture and the secretaries of those two departments.
The plaintiffs are represented by Francis Pileggi of Eckert Seamans, who won the Wilmington Housing Authority case among other cases of interest to the RKBA community. The complaint seeks a declaration that the regulations violate Article I, Section 20 of the Delaware constitution, that they're preempted by statute, or that they exceed the authority granted to the relevant departments (DNREC for the state parks, Dept. of Ag. for state forests), and an injunction against the regulations.
The case is captioned Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol Club, et al. v. Small, et al., Civil Action No. 11832. The case was filed yesterday (12/21/15) and hasn't been assigned to a judge yet.
Should be interesting to watch.
