Just wanted to confirm that rimfire rifles built under the current DE laws do not require a locking magazine like centerfire rifles do?
If an AR pistol has a brace installed, and the magazine is not detachable, is there any length requirement on the barrel? I understand I can’t add a grip to it without it becoming an SBR, but wanted to make sure barrel length on the pistol with brace wasn’t a concern?
Just wondering how many of you open carry! Let me know.
I'm in New Castle county and was looking to get a polymer pistol coated/painted. It's black and I'm looking to go to grey or fde. Anyone local in Delaware/MD who does this for a good price?
I've been looking all over for any info or someone else asking this question. The law bans by name the M1A but says nothing about the M14. Are they legally distinct from each other?
Does anyone know much about this bill? It doesn't sound very good for DE folks in terms of self-defense.

I don't know what they are thinking (are they thinking in DE House and Senate?), but this would preclude gas-powered launchers like those from Byrna.com I believe. Probably a number of other items that could be used to repel or for self-defense also may be out.
Thoughts??
Just went there today and the rifle/shotgun ranges are closed down and fenced off since Dec 31 3023 according to a sign, which also states the closure is because of structural damage needing repairs. I hopped the fence and everything looked fine to me. I'm out of places to shoot out to 100 :(
Looking for an A300 Patrol, would like to buy local rather then do a transfer, anyone know of a shop that has then in stock. I don't mind a trip upstate if need be.
Would a kali key allow me to use the M&P 15 SPORT 3 in Delaware legally?
Title. I haven't actually been denied yet or have even submitted the papers. My record is pretty much spotless and I meet all of the requirements, but I really don't want to get caught off guard. It's a "may-issue" state, so you can be denied for whatever reason. I want to be prepared in advance.
What's the next course of action I can take as soon as I figure out my permit was denied?
Does anyone know if the Keltec P17 is compliant? It has a 16 round mag and it’s a standard .22lr pistol, but here’s the catch… It only comes with threaded barrels. That seems to be a potential problem with the new law. I haven’t seen a version with an unthreaded barrel. Has anyone bought one since the law change?
Purchased a Palmetto State Arms PA-15 16” AR. Chose my FFL in Wilmington, listed on their site, payment secured, order complete. All good. Next day I call the FFL to give a heads up. He says “well it’s not compliant but no big deal, that’s my job-to make it that way.”
Week goes by, nothing. Still saying “Order pending” so I call customer service. Within 15 seconds he cancels the order citing compliance. “Well we can’t sell this in DE”. What if I hadn’t called? I guess I wasn’t as surprised as I was annoyed. The disconnect between Palmetto, DE, and the FFL is wild. Why is my FFL thinking he’ll get the gun if the law is so “straight forward” and strict? Why is there no GPS logic built into PSAs website, barring me from making the purchase? I’m half venting, half at a loss. Thanks 😅
Can I buy just any old lower and have it shipped to a ffl and have them put the dumb bullet button in or do I have to buy a lower with one. Wondering because I want to start building an ar over the next couple months
Under the new restrictions, is the Henry Homesteader allowed in Delaware?
Hey everyone,
I visit my parents often down in the lewes area and I’m looking to check out some shops that have a decent used selection or military surplus next time I’m there. The few ive been too only really have new.
Any recommendations in the state are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Submitted all my paperwork on the 11th of this month, wonder if anybody who received theirs this year could weigh in on how long they waited. Looking around online I get a mixed bag of answers from various years' past so I was hoping to get some updated info. Thanks in advance.
Due to the barrel “adapter” I’m not sure if I could actually purchase this one..
This video was made before it passed in the Senate but it still gives good details

Does anyone know if anyone has been charged with assault weapon possession yet? It’s been almost 2 years since the ban went into effect and I haven’t heard of anyone being charged or convicted.
I'm a small seller and I'm finding mixed sources on the legality of shipping an 80% jig to deleware. Is it legal or not for DE residents to own a jig? Thanks.
Sig just announced their new MCX regulator. It is basically a Spear upper on a new frame excluding the pistol grip and a 10 round magazine. If this is legal. Sign me up!
Hi folks,
My name is Trenton, and I'm the founder at Ashford Armament. We're an AR15 Compliance Device Manufacturer out of Southern California. Late last year, we rolled out our flagship product - the Bolt Retention System - and thought it might be a good time to share some info about it with this community. We believe it takes an AR style firearm out of the definition of "Assault Weapon" and allows users to have detachable magazines and otherwise banned features.
The BRS is a drop-in replacement for the bolt catch that catches the bolt in the rearward position on every shot. The user then has to manually release the bolt by way of a lever that extends down next to the trigger well with their trigger finger, or with their support hand at the location of a standard bolt catch release. We also designed a disconnector in such that users can't just hold it down and simulate semi-automatic fire.
Because of this interruption, we believe a rifle with our BRS installed is no longer "semi-automatic", which means it can be equipped with all the banned features and detachable magazines while staying compliant with the DE AWB. Your first reaction to that might be, "oh no - it's probably slow to fire". We thought of that too and we designed it so ergonomically that users are typically capable of ~.3 second splits between shots with just a few minutes of practice. Here's a video of Reno May (a popular 2A influencer in CA) doing a demonstration on our product and comparing it to a fixed-magazine (5:00 to 5:17 for rapid fire demonstration).
Feel free to ask any questions about it! We're really excited about being able to offer this and think it can help folks out who can't stand featureless or fixed mag. Would love to hear any feedback you've got.
Based on the law below, I can build an AR pistol (300 BLK/8 in barrel/ SBA4 brace) with a bullet button and mag that does not exceed 17 rounds. My pistol does not fall into any of the categories below. Am I wrong? I have gotten conflicting info fro two prominent gun shops in Delaware. Help!
(5) “Copycat weapon” means any of the following:
a. A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that can accept a detachable magazine and has at least 1 of the following:
A folding or telescoping stock.
Any grip of the weapon, including a pistol grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other stock, the use of
which would allow an individual to grip the weapon, resulting in any finger on the trigger hand in addition to the
trigger finger being directly below any portion of the action of the weapon when firing.
A forward pistol grip.
A flash suppressor.
A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
b. A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
c. A semiautomatic pistol that can accept a detachable magazine and has at least 1 of the following:
of the pistol grip.
A threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward pistol grip or silencer.
A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits
the shooter to fire the firearm without being burned, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
So if I'm required to get a permit to purchase, then why not just make it a full carry permit? Why make me go through the extra steps for concealed carry? If I go through all the training and fingerprinting I should be able to have my weapon on me at all times as I've been trained!
IT PASSED!
As if there weren't enough roadblocks to purchasing firearms...I don't know when it will go into effect but if you plan on buying something do it soon!

Thanks and Good Luck!!!
More than likely this will pass according to DSSA. I recommend joining or donating DSSA (Delaware State Sportsmen's Association) for new and latest fight in Delaware for our 2A rights. Reach out to your representative to state you oppose this bill.
Scrolling through some of these posts for my scared lol.
I plan on crossing state lines to go to a range with a buddy and shoot a bit. Am I not allowed to bring my standard AR with 30 round mags? Are Cans ok?
I feel like I should stay outta this state.. haha
Who has the best FFL fees in DE?
