Ive been meaning to apply for a CC permit.  IMO unless youre law enforcement, open carry really is a stupid thing to do.  If anything it makes you even more of a target for criminals.  Not only that but Im pretty sure it gets pretty pesky having people call the cops saying "armed man strolling down the street."

I get a kick out of these morons that tell you to keep a trigger lock on your guns, keep them unloaded and locked in a gun safe. Now upon someone invading your home what the hell good is a unloaded double locked gun going to do you? Oh excuse me, do you mind if I go load my gun so I can bust a cap in your ass?

I am a member of the deloc.org forum.  A great abundance of information is there as well as other concerned citizens in regards to the increase in violence.  Many of them reside in Wilmington, where it has adopted a new name of "Killmington."  Shootings occur regularly over there in many neighborhoods and in broad daylight during the middle of the day.  They have it alot worse then we do here, but don't think that this won't start happening here.  Little by little the trouble moves closer and closer to our homes and if citizens keep hiding behind their doors hoping it goes away, it will be upon us just like "Killmington."

Conceal carry with permit of course?  Any of you been sparked lately to apply for the CCDW? 

In most places in delaware, it's not illegal to openly carry a handgun, if you follow the rules concerning it.
I have considered doing it during one of my walks around Milford just to see how far I would get before I got stopped. ;)

Lots of good info here: http://www.deloc.org/deloc/index.php
  Q: Where can I open carry?
A: It's probably better to list where you can't carry. State and National Parks and Forests are off limits as well as detention areas such as court houses, police stations and prisons. Dover has a grandfathered ordinance that prohibits carrying a weapon unless you have a license. New Castle County has an illegal ordinance prohibiting possession of firearms in county parks -- we're currently pressuring the county council to change it. Title 11, Chapter 5, ยง 1457 allows you to conceal your weapon onto school grounds with a license or open carry without. However, there is the federal Gun Free School Zone Act which only exempts you if you're licensed by the state in which the zone resides. It's been suggested that Delaware's slot casinos are off-limits as are all federal buildings; however, we cannot verify this in law. Also, Post Offices are in a state of flux. Err on the side of caution and do not carry there for the time being.

Did I see in the news a few days back that teachers in Texas can carry guns?  I guess that's one way to make sure your student's homework gets done.  :-)
