Can firearms be carried openly in Delaware without a permit?

  1. Yes, statewide

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only in rural areas

  4. Yes, but with restrictions in certain areas

The correct answer is: Yes, statewide

In Delaware, the law allows individuals to carry firearms openly without a permit. This means that as long as the person is legally permitted to possess a firearm, they can carry it visibly in public spaces throughout the state. Open carry is not restricted by specific geographic areas within Delaware, making it applicable statewide. The option indicating restrictions in certain areas or limitations to rural areas does not reflect the current legal framework as it stands regarding open carry. Therefore, the premise that firearms can be openly carried across the state is the correct interpretation of Delaware’s laws, ensuring that individuals have the freedom to exercise their right to carry while still respecting the legal stipulations that apply to firearm ownership.
