Which of the following places is carrying a firearm generally prohibited in Delaware?

  1. State parks

  2. Bars and restaurants

  3. Places of worship

  4. Courthouses

The correct answer is: Courthouses

In Delaware, carrying a firearm is generally prohibited in courthouses due to the heightened security concerns associated with judicial buildings. Courthouses are considered sensitive areas where the presence of firearms could lead to a disruption of court proceedings, compromise safety, and jeopardize the administration of justice. Given the potential for conflicts and volatile situations that may arise in legal settings, prohibiting firearms helps to maintain a secure environment for court personnel, defendants, and the public. Other locations may have different regulations regarding firearm carry, but courthouses are specifically designated as off-limits to firearms, reflecting a common legal standard aimed at ensuring safety in judicial environments.
