(6) carrying firearms and ammunition by persons who hold a valid license pursuant to either § 1441 or §1441A of Title 11 of this Code so long as the firearm remains concealed except for inadvertent display or for self-defense or defense of others; (
Very important that this is in there. The ability for Delaware CCDW folk to inadvertently show a concealed firearm is important! Many states do not tolerate the accidental display of a concealed firearm like DE does. While I oppose the bill I am glad to see that in there to protect us.
I know I've displayed mine a few times by mistake by reaching up to high (grocery, hardware stores, etc) or the wind blowing an unbuttoned shirt or coat open at a gas pump, reaching for my wallet, etc. Not intentional but it does happen now and then. I'm pretty nonchalant about it in truth as I put it on in the AM and forget about it most of the day. Don't get me wrong, I do conceal and I don't flaunt it. I just don't let it rule me in my daily life, for the most part. I've even had a few great conversations, including with 2 officers because of it. There are of course times and areas I do take some additional care.
Everyone hates on DE gun laws and such but we can carry, it's really not that hard to get a CCDW, signs don't hold law, accidental display doesn't land you in jail like some other states, etc, etc. Sure, it could be better however it's pretty @@@@ good at the same time.

Just need to keep on top of the liberals and try to stop the further eroding of our liberties.
