UPDATE: As I stated before, ny initial application was put on hold pending my more detailed explaination as to why I needed to carry concealled because the reason I put on my application was the standard "For protection of self, family, and property." Remember that the judge had stated that the constitution grants us the right to bear arms already and we were free to do so openly in the state of Delaware already and that carrying concealled required a more detailed and valid reason. Well the same day I received the letter from the judge in the mail, I further explained my reasons such as carrying large amounts of cash for my job, etc. The very day that the judge received that letter, he approved my request and had the office call me to let me know that my permit would arrive via mail within the next few days. I do believe that from now on, you are going to have to supply more reasoning behind the request to carry concealled and the standard text on the application will no longer suffice. Keep this in mind. Although the process was tedious, the Sussex County prothonotary office was very quick and very pleasant to deal with. Kudos for those folks! I only wish all government offices worked this efficiently.
On another note, as the judge stated in his letter, " You are already afforded the right to bear arms as stated in the second amendment to the constitution.", I dare to ask why then can certain states such as Maryland deny those rights to the people by not allowing them to bear arms also? I have always read that state laws couldn't supercede federal laws...maybe I'm just nieve.
