Excellent ruling in Delaware

Posted by David Hardy · 19 March 2014 05:48 AM

The Delaware Supreme Court, in Boone v. Wilmington Housing Authority, ruled that a public housing agency cannot preclude possession of firearms in common areas. It noted that many of those common areas are what would in ordinary houses be part of the house/home, and rejected claims that the government here was acting as a landlord and not as a sovereign.

"With the Common Area Provision in force under penalty of eviction, reasonable, law-abiding adults become disarmed and unable to repel an intruder by force in any common living areas when the intervention of society on their behalf may be too late to prevent an injury."

Excellent indeed! A highly placed court using the logically implied outcomes of the Constitution and recent Supreme Court decisions (Heller & McDonald) to come to a logical decision - about time!
