Heard today that this case has been moved from the Court of Chancery to the Superior Court which a less-friendly environment. A ruling had been expected in September.

Dammit.  Being ignorant of Delaware politics as I am, what do you think the odds of passage are?

didn't ask that question. If the ban is struck down, expect it to be delayed as long as possible.

Any ruling?  Ridiculous that a law was passed for the people and by the people that opposes our right to life (or the right to defend said life).  One can take a hunting course and be allowed to hunt same properties and not have a CCW permit.

This may be helpful for a favorable decision.  Sussex County, this week, passed a firearm carry ordinance that bans carry in all county buildings, except for LEO's and CCW permit holders.  This ordinance recognizes that all CCW permit holders are"safe" and are allowed to carry concealed in all county buildings.  This means that a Delaware government entity approves of CCW permit holders and yhis fact can be used to argue for CCW carry in State Parks and forests.

So does this also include the C&D Canal lands as well?

No. That is Corp of Engineers.  Trump is reportedly working on an executive order to fix that though.

This only fixes state parks and forests but it also clears up the illegal New Castle County ordinance as well as an earlier Kent parks rule.

The majority opinion is a good read.  Well thought out.

Yeah I wasn’t sure here. DNC still Patrol, maintains and manages the actual Land at the C&D Canal. I’m there often and those are the only vehicles I see. Have had many talks with them as well though not on this topic.

Now if/WHEN HR38 passes it’ll open up the C&D lands for CC. Wonder how many more years we’ll have to wait.

Question: What does this change if anything about carrying on Federal Property like National Parks?

Answer: Currently the law allows that the prohibition or allowance of firearms in a National Park, Monument, or Memorial is regulated by the state in which that park, monument, or memorial is located. In HR38 that changes to allow that anyone carrying under the bill can carry a concealed handgun in any of the following areas that are open to the public: A unit of the National Park System, a unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System, public land under the jurisdiction of the BLM, land administered and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Land administered and managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, Land administered and managed by the Forest Service.

Yes but the lands around the C&D are under the jurisdiction of Delaware Fish and Game. I think we will need to get a clarification on that.

The State will probably be slow to update the regs but here's the one for C&D Canal

Well it appears DNREC has imposed restrictions within the park. This should be interesting.
