Which of the following places is it illegal to carry a firearm in Delaware?

  1. State parks

  2. Churches

  3. Banks

  4. Courthouses

The correct answer is: Courthouses

In Delaware, carrying a firearm in courthouses is explicitly prohibited due to the heightened security concerns associated with the judicial process. Courthouses are places where legal proceedings occur, and the presence of firearms could pose significant risks to safety and order within the court environment. Law enforcement and court personnel have established protocols to maintain a secure atmosphere, and prohibiting firearms is a critical component of these protocols. In contrast, while there are restrictions on carrying firearms in places such as state parks, churches, and banks, these locations do not have the same universal prohibition as courthouses. Each of these other locations may have specific rules or regulations governing firearm possession, but courthouses have a definitive and blanket ban to safeguard the integrity of the judicial system and the safety of all individuals present there.
