This Could Be Big! Permit To Purchase Handguns Being Challenged!

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed a lawsuit challenging Delaware's new 'Permit to Purchase' law for handguns. This law requires residents to obtain a two-year permit, which involves completing an 11-part training course, fingerprinting, and other requirements. A significant hurdle identified is the requirement to possess a firearm to complete the training course, which is paradoxical as one cannot purchase a firearm without the permit first.

Quick Summary

The NRA is challenging Delaware's new 'Permit to Purchase' law for handguns, arguing it infringes on Second Amendment rights. The law requires a permit obtained through an 11-part training course and fingerprinting, but creates a paradox: a firearm is needed for training, yet a permit is needed to buy the firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NRA challenging in Delaware?

The NRA has filed a lawsuit challenging Delaware's new 'Permit to Purchase' law for handguns. This law requires residents to obtain a government-issued permit before they can legally buy a handgun, which the NRA argues infringes upon Second Amendment rights.

What are the requirements for Delaware's handgun permit?

To obtain Delaware's handgun permit, residents must complete an 11-part training course, undergo fingerprinting, and meet several other requirements. The permit is valid for two years. A key point of contention is the need for a firearm to complete the training.

What is the main legal argument against Delaware's handgun permit law?

A primary argument against Delaware's law is the 'catch-22' situation it creates: you need a permit to buy a gun, but you need a gun to complete the training required for the permit. This makes it impossible for first-time buyers to legally acquire a handgun.

Has the NRA filed other recent lawsuits regarding firearm laws?

Yes, the NRA has also recently filed a lawsuit challenging firearm waiting periods in New Mexico. This indicates a renewed focus on litigation to defend Second Amendment rights across different states.
