Hey everyone, I am looking to become a member of the Bridgeville shooting club. I think you need a current member to sponser you. Is anyone willing to help me get sponsered?

Hello,

Have only lived in a Delaware for about a year, I’m active duty stationed at the Air Force base. I’m an avid squirrel hunter and was about to commit on building a new suppressed .22lr build and realized cans are illegal here. When I read the law on the DGA website, I saw that a silencer is considered a class E destructive device:

“A person is guilty of possessing a destructive weapon when the person sells, transfers, buys, receives or has possession of a bomb, bombshell, firearm silencer, sawed-off shotgun, machine gun or any other firearm or weapon which is adaptable for use as a machine gun.”

Then I saw this paragraph below it:

“Possessing a destructive weapon is a class E felony. This Section does not apply to members of the military forces or to members of a police force in this State duly authorized to carry a weapon of the type described-“

If I’m to take this literally, maybe I’m exempt? Has anybody experienced this or know anybody who has been able to own a silencer in this state because they’re military personnel? I just want to squirrel hunt in peace. Thank you!

A family friend I've been pestering to get armed wants to buy a gun but believes due to a stint in a psych ward, they are legally unable to purchase a firearm unless they get clearance from a licensed medical professional or psychiatrist (they have neither anymore, it's been years they claim since the incident) as per:

11 Del. Code § 1448, § 1448A

The following persons are prohibited from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling a deadly weapon or ammunition for a firearm within the state:

Any person who has ever been committed for a mental disorder to any hospital, mental institution or sanitarium, unless such person can demonstrate that he or she is no longer prohibited from possessing a firearm by possessing a certificate of a medical doctor or psychiatrist licensed in Delaware hat the person is no longer suffering from a mental disorder which interferes or handicaps the person from handling deadly weapons"

They say that they worked in a psychiatry office once and they avoid clearing patients for liability reasons and haven't had a doctor in years.

With all this information I've been provided I still want to help them find a way to get clearance under the law as I believe them far more than mentally stable enough to possess a firearm, what avenues should she look into? Any tips and info would be a great help here, God bless!

I have had an AR for 15+years or so, but no longer have the receipt for the lower.... I'm pretty sure I don't have the upper either. What I do have receipts for is things I've gotten more recently over the years (trigger, rails, optics, ammo, etc). The oldest receipt I could find was 2011. Does that provide evidence if ever needed?

Long story short..... Bought 10.5in upper before ban planning to make a pistol that ultimately never happened.

I bought a stripped lower and a bullet button recently and obviously know about the ban now.... (1) was wondering how the nondetachable magazines options work with SBR? Are they still illegal on their own? Or do I own a nice paper weight now? Don't live in Wilmington

(2) when they talk about grandfathering in.... they are referring to the lowers correct? Won't matter that I have a receipt for pre ban for the upper?

If I want to take my Preban AR to the range do I need anything to prove I owned it before the ban? Does it matter if the range is in PA?

Was at the local shop recently and was told that if I buy a stripped lower, "the state will make you buy the bullet button." I was also told "You have to buy the button but you don't have to use it. The state makes you buy it, after that it's up to you whether you want to use it or not."

I can't find any literature online to support or oppose the claim, can anyone here help me?

Wondering if anyone knows where I could take some proper handling, shooting, self-defense, and first aid classes in my area? Preferably in or around Delaware or South Eastern PA.

I want to make sure I take the proper steps to really know what I’m doing before owning any firearms, I just worry about walking into any range or class without knowing if they’re LGBTQ+ friendly.

Any tips would be super helpful, thank you !

Hello everybody,

I just bought a A300 Ultima patrol shotgun and I’d like to put a stock with a pistol grip on it.

Is this legal to do in Delaware?

From what I’ve read a center fire rifle is considered an assault weapon when it only has one scary attachment and shotguns are allowed two.

(Please remove if not allowed not trying to get political) From lower New Castle County, I'm not sure who exactly is running that is pro 2A and would like to know some recommendations?

I want to prevent any more bans like we had 2 years ago. "Shall not be infringed".

13.9 inch barrels are considered an "other" weapon, right? Are these legal in DE? Still fairly new to shooting. I'd rather have a Ruger LC carbine for home defense but seems like a good option, and maybe pretty fun at the range.

Hey All,

Going for my CCDW this month and just wondering - will someone actually contact the references I am using? I know they did in the state I previously lived in because I was someone else's reference and they grilled me pretty good. I've known my references for a few years and they're all legit, but I just don't want them to get inconvenienced or interrogated.

I'm a DE resident and have had my DE (and PA and UT) carry permit for many years. Back in the day you could go to Lancaster and they would issue PA permits for DE residents then supposedly the sheriff changed and they wouldn't do it anymore so I had to go to Reading. My PA permit is getting ready to expire soon.

What's the latest on what counties will issue permits for DE residents (with a DE permit)? Closer to DE the better obviously.

next year I plan to get a CCW for being able to purchase magazines and buy rifles before I turn 21 but what are the steps to take

Will pistol frames be affect by the permit to purchase law? AE: PSA dagger frames, Glock frames etc

Called two gun stores, one said yes and the other said no. I’m confused as hell. Don’t have concealed carry, I’m hesitant to order. Any opinions ?

https://www.guns.com/firearms/p/hi-point-9ts-carbine?i=201226

I am not carrying but just noticed this sign at the entrance ro Christiana Mall today.

I thought DE was fairly in the middle with regards to guns. Do you carry or ignore? What if you're caught would they ask you to leave or instant felony?

Anyone have any recommendations for a backpack gun? Something small maybe foldable. Larger than a handgun, obviously. Chambered in 9mm would be ideal as well.

I typically buy online and pick up at my local ffl. I'm interested in the new Gen 2 TX22 22lr pistol. They come with 16 and 22rd mags stock.

My question is has anyone successfully placed an order for a gun that has standard capacity mags over 17 rounds, and had it shipped without issue to your FFL? I know when I pick up I'll have to provide my DE permit as proof, which I have. If so which online retailer have you had success with.

Yes I know I can ask my local ffl and they'll most likely be able to order it in for me, but I'm cheap and like deals through PSA and KyGunCo.

Sorry for another "is this legal?" thread, but is it? It comes with a 30rnd mag but is the gun itself illegal? I am new to guns and new to the state. I come from MA so it always felt impossible to get a gun. I moved here and in the back of my mind wanted to get one. Come to find out, this place has horrible gun laws as well, just a little easier to get the actual gun. I have always wanted this gun since seeing it on a gun youtube channel like 10 years ago. Thanks for any help and sorry if its obviously illegal or something.

Been seeing that Southern Tactical galil SAR’s are legal in MD via a “loophole”. Is this applicable to Delaware? It would be nice to get a non-lobotomized rifle here.
