Question regarding open carry in DE

Hello all! New member here, just had a quick question. I tried Google and didn't find a satisfactory response.

If I am not a resident of Delaware, am I still legally allowed to open carry when in the state. I currently reside in PA where I have my concealed carry permit, but recently have been spending quite a bit of time in thr first state. I know DE does not have reciprocity with PA, but was curious to know if I could open carry.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Stay safe, and God bless!

Anyone who can possess firearms may OC. It is de facto lawful as there are no restrictions or qualifications specific to OC. As long as you're not a "person prohibited" from possessing firearms (felons, mentally incompetent, etc) and make sure it stays in the open you're fine.

Visible on three sides is Open in Delaware. Some states allow inside the waistband because it is visible, Delaware does not recognize that as openly carried.
