SB302: An Act To Amend Title 10 And Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Firearms.

Legislative Summary

This Act is named for Keshall KeKe Anderson. KeKe was an innocent bystander who was killed in a 2016 shooting involving a firearm purchased through a straw purchase. In 2019, in a lawsuit by KeKes family against the dealer of the firearm involved in her death, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Courts decision interpreting § 1448A of Title 11 of the Delaware Code to grant a firearm dealer full immunity from liability, even if the firearm dealer is negligent in selling a firearm to a straw purchaser. See Summers v. Cabelas Wholesale, Inc., 2019 Del. Super. LEXIS 156 (Del. Super. 2019), affd, Summers v. Cabelas Wholesale, Inc., 2019 Del. LEXIS 524 (Del. 2019).
