Does having a ccw make it easier to purchase a new gun? Im looking to buy another and was wondering if the ccw will speed up ther process.
-
having a ccw plays no part in purchasing a new firearm.

Actually Moosie it does, you can use it in lieu of your DE background check saving time.
-
Sigs right, with the DE CCDW you don't have to do the DE call, which is the longest call.
-
Yes. The dealer fills out the Delaware background check form, but simply writes "DE CCDW #______________" on it and does not phone the state for a background check.

The only correct answer for this thread. Moosie is, once again, spot on. You other guys are tripping.

I've purchased several firearms since having my CCW. Each time (only two different dealers) knew I had my permit. Both calls to the feds as well as the state were placed. One of the dealers was the guy I took my CCW class from!
I'll preface my original response with, "In my experience..." :)

Guys, were all right on this one. According to state law, the CCDW can be accepted in lieu of the state call. However, the state police tell dealers that they should make the call because there is no way for us to know if the permit is still valid (meaning the carrier hasn't violated any laws). Some dealers follow the law and don't make the call and some follow the DSP and do make it.

ok thanks everyone. Ill let you know how it goes for me.

Bought a pistol recently from a private FFL. He said because of the CCW he does not have to call state. However he feels the De CCW is overly simplistic and can be easily forged, so the first time he works with someone he calls the state.

Lums - your FFL north Wilmington? Mine is. Filled out the State paperwork, but did not call it. He sees me fairly regularly at the club.
Bottom line, the process was faster. Did I get out of there faster - NO talked too much.... But I did have enough time to buy a handgun on my lunch hour and still had time to spare. HEHE

So I picked up a new glock 19 and was in and out of the store in about 5 minutes.. The ccw made it much easier.. Just like you guys are saying no phone call going to the state.

My FFL guy is in Bear. Chatty as well, but I enjoy gun chat!

Jeez, it sounds like "they" were chasin' you!
-
nope they were not chasing me....... the range was calling me ;D
-
Lumspond who do you deal with in bear? I wasnt aware of any shops down that way.

G23,
Sorry to mislead. Its not a shop. Individual with an FFL license. I used him when buying an HK from Gunbroker.com. May buy directly from him, depends on prices. I can provide contact info if needed.
