Hello folks,
 I live in Wilmington and just got back into shooting after a 20 year layoff. Been shooting 22, 9mm, 7.62, and shotgun @ clays. I received my CCDW permit about a week ago in response to the death spiral our economy seems to be in, and the crime that it is creating. I am married with 2 college age daughters.

All the best,
hf

Oh yea, almost forgot. I am a liberal Democrat (a minority around here I expect), from a long line of liberals, who's progeny are carrying on the family tradition in fine form if I do say so myself.  ;) With the exception of my kids (I'm working on em), everyone in my family has always used and enjoyed guns, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, uncles, aunts...

You can post your pic one of 2 ways if your going to add it to your profile as an avatar you can load it under profile. If you want to post a pic in a post you need to up load it to a service like photo bucket which is free and post the URL for it in the post.

Hello All   My wife and I live in Newark we moved back to Del to help take care of my parents after spending 20 years in a little bigger state, Texas.

We both just received our permits and we are looking forward to getting back to "concealed carry" again. We both like to carry the S&W 642 for size and weight.       

Glad to see the Forum back up and running and will be checking in at least once a week for updates.
 :)

For some of you guys (& gals) that recently got your permit, how long did it take once you submitted your paper work?

James welcome and to answer your question It takes on an average of 5 weeks but could take more then 3 months. My understanding is that there has been an influx of permit apps so it could take awhile.

Hello everyone,

A gunsmith buddy told me of this site. 
I am a Delaware gun owner, and gun enthusiest. 
I've shot guns all my life and recently started back working in a gunshop on saturdays. 
I taught my wife to shoot, and she bought me a Kel-tec PLR-116 .223cal. pistol for our first year wedding anniversary.
The wife just bought her second gun, I think I created another gun nut.
I'm big into Blackpowder, and converting blackpowder to cartridge.
In fact..  here's one of my projects.  I took an Uberti Mellenium 1858 Remington cap and ball, chopped the barrel from 8inches to 3inches, added an R&D 45colt conversion cylinder and a Kirst cylinder pin retainer. Turned out to be a great little Bull Dog.

So would you say you are pro gun or anti gun?
