New Castle County police are searching for at least two masked men, one apparently carrying a rifle, who knocked on doors in the Mallard Pointe neighborhood late Friday. No arrests have been made, and authorities believe the weapons may have been airsoft-style guns.

Two guys knock on doors with a toy rifle and New Castle County rolls out the cavalry. Meanwhile, Delaware lets anyone over 18 openly carry a real long gun down Kirkwood Highway — no permit, no paperwork, no problem. So the only actual offense here was knocking. Police spent Friday night hunting a prop. Reassuring.
Airsoft guns? In my neighborhood, that’s Tuesday.
Last summer a kid with a paintball marker locked down three blocks for four hours. Ended in an apology and a shrug. Nobody knocked on a door. That’s the difference here. These two wanted doors opened. Airsoft or not, you don’t need real steel to earn a real funeral. Police will find them Tuesday, probably. The neighborhood gets to sleep badly until then.
A county-wide manhunt for toy rifles. Delaware lets you open-carry the real thing with no permit — so what exactly are police searching for?
