Could be Muleman88. I just know it took me only about 8 weeks from beginning to end, to get my CCDW in Kent Cty. I am told that at the beginning of the year, that permit renewals take priority over new apps. That my cause a slow down at that time of the year. Also if Superior Court Judges are on Vacation or out of session has an effect. I can't speak for NCC or Sussex. But I know the Attorney Generals Office is located on South Street, Dover, in the old Masonic bldg., and open year round.
I know from experience that even though mine only took 8 weeks, it still seemed like an eternity while I was waiting and wondering.
I have lived in Delaware for 48 years and hardly had as much as a speeding ticket, am a land owner, and all of my references, and I turned in 6, just to be sure, I have know for 20 years or more. I turned in an extra one because my neighbor goes to Florida in the winter and I thought if they called him and didn't get him they might kick my app. My referencs were all land owners, one a retire LEO, one a fire chief, one a retired teacher, two were business owners and a farm owner. How could you go wrong with that?
New applicants might want to consider who the get for references and have a good reason to apply. Good Luck to all.
