The question of what is "concealed" for purposes of carrying a firearm without a CCDW permit in violation of Delaware law is far from clear. It's quite murky and muddy actually.
I did want to share a case with you folks that I had read a while back that intrigued me greatly. While this case concerns a "dangerous instrument" (a knife or cutter), it would seemingly be applicable to "deadly weapon" as well Anyway, pay close attention to what the court says about the knife NOT being concealed and why. You will find this on pages 5-6. Feel free to read the entire case as well (quite interesting if you ask me).
Now, please, do not think that I am suggesting that every court will follow what this judge did in this case. Accordingly, do not think that I am telling you to partially conceal your firearm, etc. IAAL but I am not expressing any opinion, only putting this out there for thought and discussions.
