Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Delaware?

A person convicted of a felony
An active member of the military
A holder of a hunting license
A person with a driver's license

The correct answer is: A person convicted of a felony

In Delaware, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This restriction is based on the understanding that those who have committed serious crimes may pose a greater risk to public safety if allowed access to firearms. The law seeks to prevent individuals with a history of violent behavior or substantial criminal activity from potentially reoffending or engaging in further criminal conduct using a firearm. Consequently, the prohibition is part of broader efforts to reduce gun violence and maintain community safety. The other groups mentioned, such as active members of the military, holders of hunting licenses, and individuals with driver's licenses, do not face similar restrictions under Delaware law, allowing them to possess firearms as long as they meet other legal requirements.
