So, having seen the other information pamphlets for other states, I thought it'd be nice to try to consolidate the law we've collected here into a pamphlet style brochure that someone might be able to take along with them...

It includes our right to carry for self-defense as listed in the Delaware Constitution, the state preemption code, transporting in vehicle, open and concealed. Municipal specific code, as well as the code for disorderly conduct and carrying concealed without a license. Lastly, there are some general tips for LEO encounters.

I'd appreciate any help with suggestions to revisions, error checking or general critique.
