Transport in Delaware...

**bighornjd** · September 2nd, 2010, 09:46 PM

I have to take a piece of equipment to Delaware next Monday (Labor Day). Drop-off is about 1/2 mile off DE Rt 1 around Milford at an undeveloped subdivision in a rural area (nobody around usually). I doubt I would be making any other stops along the way in DE. So having to Open Carry in public shouldn't be an issue (not that I think it would be a problem) From what I've found I would be OK to leave my firearm loaded in its holster on the passenger seat of the truck in plain view correct? I don't have a FL or UT permit (yet), just PA and MD. I've been searching but the search sucks and I just want to make sure. Am I missing something or am I good to go? Thanks.

FYI, while open carrying in a vehicle in Delaware the firearm does not have to be unloaded. It just has to be in a plain view area and our LEO's are taught to look on the dash or passenger seat.

A stored firearm on the other hand does have to be unloaded and innaccessible.

Handguns may be carried in a in open view
without a license (see Possession): in a holster
on their person, or in an area in plain view while
travelling in a vehicle, such as the dashboard or
on the passenger seat.

Handguns may also be stored in an inaccessible
area of a vehicle, such as a trunk. Rifles and
shotguns must be unloaded while being carried
in or on any vehicle, farm machinery, or motorboat
or sailboat while under power.

Bare in mind that in the city limits of Dover open carry is prohibited without a Delaware CCDW permit.
