Actual wording is a little more specific than I remembered. now most people will only put them unloaded and in a case to take them to a range or somewhere else to use. if you go by actual wording, you could be going somewhere that
hunting is allowed by law (this is a wide area in kent county). it does not specify that you have to be licensed to hunt or even planning to hunt. while this may be implied, it is also implied that unloaded and cased is an acceptable way to safely transport your gun from a residence to your auto. of course, you being in Dover, were then planning to store it in the trunk for transport
Now where does Dover want to go with this?
Without a license to carry a concealed deadly weapon:
you can not buy a gun! Gasp! (you can't buy a gun if you cant carry it home.)
you can't carry it openly, and you cant carry it concealed....delaware is a MAY issue state. that means total infringement of both the USC and delaware's. good luck.
ps. they stopped you between the house and the car? who did you pi$$ off?
