I took my CCW class with a friend of mine late summer. He submitted his DE paperwork to the NCC prothonotary on 09/11/2013 and got his permit today in the mail. I submitted mine on 10/10, so I guess I got another month of waiting to go.
But my non-resident Florida permit only took 6 weeks! (2 thumbs up for Delaware!)
Cheers! Stay safe in the snow!
