I thought there was somthing stating the counties, and cities could only restrict the discharge of a firearm???????
Yes, that is state pre-emption. But Dover passed its ordinances before pre-emption came into effect.

Went to ceci's today with the family for lunch. There was two people working and about 5 or 6 people in there. The two workers looked like they seen a ghost when they spoted my Glock. We payed sat down and started to eat, Then one off them comes up to me.

Him " What are you doing carrying a gun?"
Me " I am carrying for protection."
Him " Protection from what? :pointlaugh: Thats what the cops are for."
Me " Protection from anyone who might want to hurt me or my family. O and the cops are not resopnsable for protecting you."
Him " O really, by the way is that legal?
Me " Yes it is legal in the state of Delawer to open carry. You only have to have a permit to carry conceled.
Him " Ok, well have a nice meal"
Me " We will, and you have a nice day."

Nothing after that, had a great time out and I think im getting the hang of this now. YA ME :pbjtime:

My favorite response to give (that I saw on this forum somewhere) is "Because a cop is too heavy to carry everywhere".

I'd probably say:

"Eatting lunch." :)

Went to Walmart on rt 40 no problems. Had some Indian woman saying something as she was walking towards me (she was talking to her friend) and when she got right next to me she said GUN in a medium loud voice which got my attention and put me on guard :sparring: for a moment. My guess she was talking to her friend in there language about my gun but said gun right next to me in English. :?

There just happin to be 6 under cover cops there. I thought to myself is all of the dunkin donuts closed and great going to get hassled by cops when i have my kids with me. Someone was looking out for me because nothing happend. They staired at me the hole time and a state cop followed us home. So fun fun fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today (7-17-2011) I went to get gas and smokes, For some reason there was a undercover cop driving around the neighborhood. Waved hi like i alwas do and went on my way. When i got back my wife was talking to the cop. When they were done i asked her what was going on. She said the cop called her over and started talking to her about me carrying a gun. And how i am a target and its not safe for me or the kids if there around me. Whell at this point im pissed off. But let it go. We will see were it goes from here.
That would get me mad also if a cop told my girlfriend that( in my case lol) I've been around plenty of cops while i was OC'ing and they have yet to say anything to me especially on my street there is always cops because of some of the people that live up the street. They are always up to no good. I usually go to be nosey and ask the cops if everything is ok haha. I didn't like how the cop said you would become a target I truly believe anyone, especially criminals, respect a person with a gun. I believe you become less of a target if a criminal sees a gun on you. They aren't that brave, they take advantage of who they know couldn't cause harm to them I'm guessing. Just my opinion.
