Liquor Stores
« on: July 31, 2011, 10:22:34 PM »
I know it's epically brilliant to drink in a bar while CCW.  Is it a violation to CCW while shopping at a liquor store in DE?

Thanks!

P.S.  And yes, I know you shouldn't drink ANYWHERE while CCW.   ;)

IANAL, YMMV, AMWPBL, ONViAoH* but:
To the best of my knowledge, neither bars nor liquor stores are off-limits while carrying legally in Delaware.

Correct, even open carry is fine in a liquor store...

Since I'm still deployed, I haven't completed my CCW training yet.  There's places in Delaware that you don't have to conceal your weapon at all?   ???

I'm such a n00b.

I'm guessing that open carry is more of a PITA than CCW.  I mean, tooling around the neighborhood or working around the house with open carry doesn't seem to pose a problem.  But I envision static from employees/management if one was to visit Home Depot or Burger King, et al.

It's not a personal choice that I make to do, but there are many others who do.  If you're up in NCC then it seems it's a bit more frequent to get hassled.  Around Kent and Sussex it's a little less likely.  Most businesses don't really pay much mind, and the worst they can do is ask you to leave.  The truth of the matter is, a decently dressed man or woman with a holstered sidearm on their side really doesn't draw near as much attention as you would think.  I know I've personally seen a couple of people in the past and not really paid much mind.  If you want more info there is a forum for the OC crowd, www.deloc.org.

As for places it's allowed/not allowed, basically anywhere you can concealed carry, you can open carry as well.  The exception being the City of Dover which requires a CCDW permit even to OC.  There's also something about parks in NCC that may or may not hold ground, but I don't remember the specifics...

Did many of you open carry while you waited for your CCW?

Nope, me either... The only times I have ever OCd are when I'm heading to the range and would throw my paddle holster on.  Generally speaking I rarely if ever stopped anywhere on the way.  After getting the CCDW, I just toss a shirt tail over it and I'm golden.. ;)  Less weird looks that way... ;)

I do believe Dover requires a permit for OC or CC.
