Which of these is a requirement for storing firearms in a home where children are present, according to Delaware law?

  1. No specific requirements

  2. Locked in a safe

  3. Equipped with a trigger lock

  4. Either locked up or equipped with a trigger lock

The correct answer is: Either locked up or equipped with a trigger lock

In Delaware, when storing firearms in a home where children are present, the law mandates that firearms must either be locked up or equipped with a trigger lock. This requirement is in place to help prevent unauthorized access by minors and to enhance overall safety in the home. By ensuring that firearms are inaccessible or secure, the risk of accidents involving firearms is significantly reduced, which aligns with best practices in firearms safety. This approach incorporates both methods of securing firearms—locking them away in a safe or utilizing trigger locks—providing flexibility for gun owners while emphasizing the importance of secure storage in households with children.
