Hi everyone,
South Carolina native here, moving up to Newark, DE for work/school for about five years. I'm hoping to meet some friendly people up near Newark, and find some good places to go shooting, as well as good shops. I'm really spoiled by living close to Palmetto State Armory's physical locations, where even during the heat of the panic I've been able to get ammo without too much trouble.
I already hold a valid South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit, and am hoping to eventually get my Delaware permit (as well as Pennsylvania, if possible). I'll unfortunately have to travel to Maryland quite often for work, and from what I can tell it's virtually impossible to get a valid permit in that state. Even Delaware's CWP process seems lengthy, troublesome, and expensive to me. In South Carolina we simply needed to take a one-day class, a written and shooting test, then give our paperwork for a background check. Oh, and a $50 processing fee. So really, compared to Delaware, it seems quite easy. Not to mention South Carolina has very explicit laws about Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground, and even Alter-Ego. No open carry like Delaware, but really that's pretty much the ONLY thing that South Carolina does not have!
Anyways, hope to meet some people and better familiarize myself with Delaware's laws by being here!
