Is the legislature considering a change to shall-issue or changes to streamline / expedite the approval process?

Last time DE tried to go shall-issue, they did it very simply: the bill simply removed the Superior Court's power to approve or deny an otherwise qualified applicant.
The antis stacked on so many bad amendments that the NRA dropped its support for the bill.

It probably didn't help that Sarah Brady lives in Rehoboth Beach.

This is very true, she lobbied against the shall issue bill up to the very end

depending on the county you're in, 2-8 months.

So if they all expire May 31 of a given year, and it takes 8 months to process then you have to renew the year prior to the actual expiration? 

I still say they could eliminate the backlog if they dont expire them all on the same date.

mrjam, I totally agree.  If they staggered the expiration, they'd avoid a lot of this back log. 

Right now, the delay of initial, new, applications is because they are processing all the renewals.
