tell the liberals to make it easier to get a ccdw in delaware and i am sure most who open carry would be willing to conceal it.
What???
As GatorDude pointed out already, it is rather straight forward to get a DE CCDW. It just requires one to put out a little effort to complete all of the necessary steps in order for the State to
GRANT YOU A REGULATED PRIVILEGE.
I went through the process many years ago because I thought that was the only way I could carry a firearm for self defense. If I had been aware of OC in Delaware back then, I probably would have saved myself the time, effort, and money.
However, I probably would have gone through with it anyway since some states that issue concealed carry permits to non-residents require you to have one issued from your state of residence (i.e. Pa.).
Since I do have a CCDW, my preferred method of carry is by exercising my FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT (OC) rather then my REGULATED PRIVILEGE (CC)
The manner in which a person carries a firearm is a personal choice, based on what they feel is best for them, whether it is OC or CC. Over the last several years since I have become aware of OC, the question I asked myself was, 'why would I choose a PRIVILEGE over a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT??'
I cannot speak on behalf of others, but for me, having a CCDW does NOT make me want to conceal carry as a preferred method. For me it is knowing the difference between the government granted hall pass, and a basic fundamental right.
