Can local municipalities in Delaware enact their own gun control laws?

Yes, without any restrictions
No, state law preempts local ordinances
Yes, but only with state approval
Yes, but limited to discharge regulations only

The correct answer is: No, state law preempts local ordinances

Local municipalities in Delaware cannot enact their own gun control laws because state law preempts any local ordinances pertaining to gun control. This means that the state's laws on gun control take precedence over any laws or regulations created by local municipalities. Option A is incorrect because local municipalities are restricted from enacting their own gun control laws. Option C is also incorrect because state approval is not required for local municipalities to enact their own laws. Option D is incorrect because local municipalities are not limited to regulating only the discharge of guns, but are completely restricted from enacting any gun control laws.
