What is Delaware's stance on open carry of firearms?

Permitted without a license
Completely prohibited
Permitted with a license
Not mentioned in the law

The correct answer is: Permitted without a license

Delaware allows the open carry of firearms without a license, making it legal for individuals to visibly carry a firearm in public as long as they are of legal age and not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. This open carry right is subject to certain restrictions, such as ensuring that the firearm is carried in a manner that does not involve any unlawful conduct or create a public disturbance. The distinction here is important because although open carry is permitted, individuals must still comply with local regulations and may need to follow community-specific ordinances regarding firearm display. By not requiring a license for open carry, Delaware creates a framework that enables law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to carry firearms openly in public spaces.
