Is open carry of firearms legal in Delaware?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. Yes, but with a permit

  3. No, it's completely illegal

  4. It depends on the local jurisdiction

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of firearms is legal in Delaware without a permit, making this choice the correct one. In Delaware, individuals are allowed to openly carry firearms in public spaces as long as they are in compliance with certain state laws regarding firearms. This means that no special permit is required for someone to openly display a firearm on their person in most circumstances. It's important to note that while open carry is permitted, there may be specific regulations that restrict where firearms can be carried openly, such as in schools, government buildings, or private property where firearms are prohibited. Additionally, some local jurisdictions may have their own rules that can impact the legality of open carry, highlighting the importance of being aware of local laws even though state law generally permits it.
