Is open carry of firearms legal in Delaware without a permit?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but with restrictions
No
Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, but with restrictions

Open carry of firearms in Delaware is indeed legal, but it comes with certain restrictions that must be followed. While you are allowed to openly carry a firearm without a permit, there are guidelines in place that dictate where and how you can carry. For example, individuals are prohibited from carrying firearms in specific locations such as schools, government buildings, and private property where firearms are not allowed. Additionally, local regulations may impose further restrictions on open carry practices. The other choices do not accurately reflect the law; for instance, stating that open carry is legal without restrictions ignores the various limitations that exist. Similarly, the assertion that open carry is not allowed at all would misrepresent the legal framework in Delaware, and restricting open carry to rural areas fails to recognize that it can be done statewide, provided all legal stipulations are met.
