Why a concealed carry permit is Almost useless - Part 2 - it's not true
The original poster in this thread felt that the limitations of our system were so pervasive (12 years ago) that it was not worth getting a concealed carry permit in Delaware. There seem to be some misunderstandings that were never addressed in that thread. Since it has such a high rating in Google's search results right now, I wanted to provide an update and links for more detail not previously provided. The moderators have kindly agreed to link here.
First, if you were licensed for carry, you would/should be aware that "gun free" zones as written do have several exclusions and exceptions that apply. The specific one I want to call to your attention is 922.q.2.b.ii which applies to qualified licensed carriers in their home states. The Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990 states: 18 USC 922(q)(2)Second, as we continue looking at the law, you should also know Delaware code does not define an offense for carrying in a school zone unless also committing another offense: (*emphasis* below is mine) ยง 1457. Possession of a weapon in a Safe School and Recreation Zone; class D, E, or F: class A or B misdemeanor.If you're interested in protecting yourself in Delaware, join us at http://www.deloc.org (DE is an open carry state) or leverage other sites with discussion focused on our state laws, for example: http://deccw.com/ or http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/fo...hp?91-Delaware. Remember: 1. Carrying a gun is easier than carrying a cop. 2. When seconds count, police are only minutes away! 3. Criminals love "gun free" zones! JH |
