Hello,
I am very glad to find a group which shares the same interests as me. I moved in Claymont a year and a half ago from North Carolina, and I decided to work on my CCW. Things were simpler in NC, although they did want you to get registrations for your handguns.
When I moved here I realized that I needed a new ccw and that I had to wait a whole year to make friends that were eligable to sign my references questionnaire. After this I made some calculations on how much money will I need. 65$ for fingerprints, 75$ for news journal, 65$ for application, 14$ for NC drivers history, 15$ for pictures ans finally, ~200$ for the training. I dont mind the paperwork and the waiting period but I do mind the money part. Moreover, DE reciprocity is not good for any of the neighboring states, and I live next to PA. In addition, you are not allowed to hold your ground in DE which again defeats the point of the CCW in some occasions.
I apologize for the rant, I hope and I wish that DE becomes a better place for law abiding gun owners in the future.
with great respect
ST
