    and lastly is to consider what happens if you miss...

    you will notice that most handgun round will actually do MORE damage after passing through an interior wall..

    keep in mind there are obviously a million factors.. type of gun... type of ammo... and all that.. but typically I think a small light round like 556 is less likely to do damage to innocent individuals that may be on the other side of a wall should you miss... while also doing a ton of trauma should you hit.... all the while being extremely stable and accurate.. 

     

    Seriously??

     

    Good info....thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen this before.

    Not bad...gotta check for DE reciprocity.

    Much easier than the b/s DE makes you deal with.

     

     

    EDIT: Just checked....DE honors Utah CCW. Sounds like the much easier path.

     

    EDIT 2: S**t....the next soonest class is tomorrow (today) here in DE...I'm busy tomorrow.

    Because Delaware state law only regulates the carrying of a concealed deadly weapon, the open carry of a firearm is lawful. As stated by former Delaware Attorney General Charles M. Oberly, III, "Under current Delaware law, virtually anyone, excepting felons, may strap on a holster and carry a gun in plain view. You can even carry a rifle over your shoulder and walk around with it."

    So would it be unacceptable to have a gun on a high riding belt holster while driving?  Not saying, that would be convenient or advised.  Just curious.  The wording of the law seems very odd to not specifically exclude that.

     

    As to the visual deterrent, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

     

    That's the impression everyone here has....it isn't clearly spelled out in law...the law simply states that

     

    - A weapon may be "concealed" within 
    the meaning of this section, and still be in "plain view" for purposes of the search and seizure doctrine. 
    Robertson v. State, 794 A.2d 267 (Del. 1997). 
     
    A weapon is "concealed" if it is hidden from the ordinary sight of another person, i.e., the casual and 
    ordinary observation of another in the normal associations of life; however, since "ordinary 
    observations" are not the same as the observations of an investigating police officer, a weapon 
    concealed from an ordinary person may be in the plain view of a police officer. Robertson v. State, 794 
    A.2d 267 (Del. 1997).
     
     
     
    The thought being that if an officer approaches your vehicle from the driver's side window and you're carrying in a holster on your right side, it is "hidden from ordinary sight".

    You can call the ladies in the records department, they're pleasant enough, but they always tell you the same thing: "We'll call you when it's ready".


    The only thing they can tell you is whether or not your references/fingerprints have come in, and where the application is sitting....if they tell you that much.

     

    BUT....they also lied to me about when they mailed the letters out to my references....so I'm glad I did call after 3 weeks.
