Delaware SB 304 — Possession of a Firearm or Projectile Weapon in a Safe School Zone
Threat level: green
Would make possessing a 'projectile weapon' — a category that expressly includes BB guns — in a Delaware Safe School Zone a class E felony, with limited carve-outs.
Bill summary
Would make knowingly possessing a 'firearm or projectile weapon' in a Safe School Zone a class E felony. Delaware's definition of projectile weapon expressly includes BB guns, so the restriction reaches BB/airguns. Carve-outs exist for authorized sentries, weapon instruction, and sanctioned sports. SB 304 was introduced May 6, 2026 and assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it received no further action. It died when the 153rd General Assembly ended on June 30, 2026.
