Does Delaware law require firearms to be stored in a particular manner at home?

No specific requirements
Yes, with lock and key
Yes, in a safe
Yes, unloaded and in a secure location

The correct answer is: Yes, unloaded and in a secure location

In Delaware, firearms storage requirements emphasize safety and accessibility. The correct understanding is that firearms should be stored unloaded and secured to minimize the risk of unauthorized access, particularly by children or anyone who should not have access to firearms. Storing firearms unloaded and in a secure location reduces the potential for accidents and increases responsible ownership. While other options such as a safe or using a lock and key can be effective methods of securing firearms, the law specifically highlights the importance of unloading firearms and ensuring they are kept in a manner that prevents unauthorized access. This approach aligns with broader firearm safety practices that encourage responsible ownership while ensuring public safety.
