Delaware Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In what locations is carrying a concealed weapon prohibited in Delaware?

1. Private vehicles

2. Schools and courthouses

3. Open spaces in state parks

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Schools and courthouses

Carrying a concealed weapon in Delaware is prohibited in specific locations, notably schools and courthouses. These areas are designated as sensitive locations due to the potential risks associated with firearms in environments where there are many individuals, especially vulnerable populations such as children in schools or the general public in courthouses. While it may seem that other options like private vehicles or open spaces in state parks could have restrictions, they generally have different regulations. For instance, carrying in private vehicles is usually allowed under certain conditions, and state parks may permit firearms in open areas as long as they are not in prohibited zones. Thus, the prohibition in schools and courthouses is particularly important as these locations are specifically enumerated in Delaware law regarding concealed carry restrictions.
