Hello. New guy here. Just curious if anyone open carries in the city of Wilmington. I've heard there's a risk of being detained and/or having a cop draw down on you. Any knowledge of the topic would be greatly appreciated.

I used to hang out and watch my buddy's softball team play during the spring/summer leagues (4th & Ferris if I recall correctly) and never had any issues while OC. I actually talked to a Wilm PD officer who just happened to stop by to watch the game for a few moments... I think his sister/niece was playing. I actually initiated the convo and he hadn't even noticed that I was carrying until that point. We spoke for a few minutes and then he thanked me for doing so and I thanked him for his service to the community. Pleasant interaction and we went on with our lives.Good to know! I live on the riverfront so I don't have the option to not go into the city. Haha! It's a great place to live and the crime is low,however, 4 blocks away and you're directly in the hood...and the scumbags know there's money here so there have been a few muggings. I'm just leery of somebody being totally freaked out seeing a 240 pound,6'2" guy,covered in tattoos with a 1911 on his hip. I already got into it with a crazy anti gun liberal who yelled at me and asked me to show my permit. Wasn't even worth my time to argue with them

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
