Delaware law allows individuals to openly carry a firearm as long as they comply with general laws pertaining to firearms possession and do not have other legal prohibitions against possessing a firearm. While it is essential to understand that certain municipalities may have their specific regulations regarding the carrying of firearms, statewide policy permits open carry. This means that in locations where municipalities do not impose additional restrictions, residents can legally carry their firearms openly without needing a permit. Thus, understanding the legal environment around open carry in Delaware is crucial for responsible firearm owners.
