Since I do a bit of journalism on the side, I thought this would make a very interesting piece to research for publication. So, I decided to write a letter to the NCCPD and the DSP to get official stances -- here is the email I sent to the two police departments (modified slightly for DSP; below is for NCCPD):
I probably would've gotten a more candid response if I had done this asa private citizen asking what *I* would expect, so hopefully it won't be mucked up too much for print.

[/quote]Dear Mr. Gregory,
I am a resident of New Castle County. I'm currently performing research for an article on the matter of the open carrying of firearms in Delaware; more specifically, New Castle County. I'd be most appreciative if you might be able to take the
time to answer a few questions:
1) From your personal experience, how common is open carry in New Castle County?
2) Have any training bulletins regarding this specific topic been
covered in recent department history?
3) What is the offical stance of the NCCPD on citizens open carrying?
4) If you'd like, what is your personal opinion on citizens open carrying?
5) What might a citizen expect if an officer observed them open carrying?
I thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
