The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Federal Court rules Wilmington Housing Authority ban on open carry is Constitutional

After reading the complaint (as amended) and the response that the WHA gave, the methods the Housing Authority went into revising its policies and the manner in which the NRA recruited the plaintiffs and refusal to participate in the revisions of the leasing policies (defendants MSJ #89), I find that the court will most likely dismiss the entire suit.

At best, this was a reach for the NRA. At worst, it was ill conceived as a method of litigation. The plaintiffs simply do not have standing.

Is there an actual case here? Yes, but not in the manner the NRA has executed this debacle.
