Does Delaware have a 'red flag' law that allows authorities to seize firearms from individuals deemed a threat?

No
Yes, but only after a criminal conviction
Yes, under certain circumstances
Yes, but it is rarely enforced

The correct answer is: Yes, under certain circumstances

Delaware does have a 'red flag' law that allows authorities to seize firearms from individuals deemed a threat. This law, otherwise known as the Lethal Violence Protection Order Act, was enacted in 2018. It allows judges to issue an order to temporarily take away firearms from individuals who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because it states that Delaware does not have a 'red flag' law at all. Option B is also incorrect because the law does not require a criminal conviction before firearms can be seized. Option D is incorrect because while the law may not be frequently enforced, it is still an available option for authorities in certain situations.
