Delaware Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can non-residents of Delaware obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon in the state?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only if they work in Delaware

4. Only if they have a permit from their home state

The correct answer is: Yes

Non-residents of Delaware can indeed obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon in the state. Delaware law allows for non-residents to apply for a concealed carry permit, making it possible for individuals from out of state to legally carry a concealed firearm if they meet specific criteria set forth in the law. In many states, concealed carry permits are tied to residency, but Delaware has provisions that accommodate non-residents, provided they fulfill the necessary requirements, such as passing a background check and completing a training course. This demonstrates Delaware’s recognition of the rights of non-residents who may travel to or work within the state, as long as they adhere to the application process and regulations.
