Which of the following is a requirement for storing firearms in a home with children in Delaware?

  1. Using a gun safe

  2. Keeping the firearm unloaded

  3. Using a trigger lock

  4. Delaware does not have specific requirements

The correct answer is: Delaware does not have specific requirements

In Delaware, while there are recommendations and best practices for firearms storage to enhance safety, there are no specific legal requirements that mandate certain storage methods when it comes to firearms in homes with children. This means that while using a gun safe, keeping firearms unloaded, or utilizing trigger locks are all widely suggested practices to minimize risk and ensure safety, they are not required by law in the state. The focus of Delaware's laws emphasizes responsible gun ownership and safety, but it ultimately leaves the method of storage up to the discretion of the individual gun owner, especially in relation to personal circumstances, including the presence of children in the home. Therefore, while it is advantageous to adopt safe storage practices, it is not legally enforced in Delaware.
