I thought everyone has have the check? If I recal correctly there was a law past several years back that requires  private sales to go through an ffl? That was the argument of the gun show loop hole... Your CCWD used to exempt you with the state check but that's gone now anyhow.

If the buyer in a private sale holds a current DE CCDW, they are exempted from having to go through a FFL and have a background check performed.

The state has to be on the Permanent Brady Chart to be exempt from a NICS check.
Also read this:
Quote
Laws in Delaware, Florida, and Louisiana purport to exempt concealed weapons permit holders in those states from the background check requirement. Del. Code distraction. 11, § 1448A(d)(5); Fla. Stat. § 790.065(1)(b); La. Rev. Stat. § 40:1379.3(T)(1). However, ATF does not recognize permit holders in these states as exempt. As a result, dealers in these states must conduct a background check even if the purchaser presents a concealed weapons permit.

Lynch is correct.
Also in the "old days", we were subjected to both a state and federal check when buying a firearm. Your CCDW exempted you from the state, but not the federal.

I wouldn't say "old days".. Just 5 years ago we still had to pass both federal and state background checks.  :D

When I presented my permit the last few times, I was told it matters not in the  PRODE.  Still have to do the check.  Even to Chris.

Seems this may be a policy of the gun store. Maybe you need to check around for another gun store?

not a gun store policy state and federal law...you might want to check your facts before you offer advice......

Technically 18-20yo's can't own a handgun but rather carry mom or dads until they turn 21. They can't purchase or own one but can possess a family members.  ???

Btw.. This makes about as much sense to me as being able to serve your country and give your life for it at 18 but not celebrate an occasion or enjoy a cold beer until you're 21.

They cannot PURCHASE one until 21 years of age.  They can OWN one as a gift as allowed by Delaware law.

§ 1448B Criminal history record checks for sales of firearms — Unlicensed persons.
(a)   No unlicensed person shall sell or transfer any firearm, as defined in § 222 of this title, to any other
unlicensed person without having conducted a criminal history background check through a licensed
firearms dealer in accordance with § 1448A of this title and § 904A of Title 24, as the same may be
amended from time to time, to determine whether the sale or transfer would be in violation of federal or
state law.
(b)   For purposes of this section:
(1)   "Licensed dealer" means any person licensed as a deadly weapons dealer pursuant to Chapter 9 of
Title 24 and 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq.

c.   The transfer of a firearm for repair, service or modification to a licensed gunsmith or other person

licensed dealer.

of this title;
(6)   Transactions in which the potential purchaser or transferee holds a current and valid concealed
carry permit issued by the Superior Court of the State of Delaware pursuant to § 1441 of this title.
(7)   Transactions in which the prospective buyer or transferee is a bona fide member or adherent of an
organized church or religious group, the tenets of which prohibit photographic identification; provided,
however, that no unlicensed person shall sell or transfer any firearm to any such person without having
conducted a criminal history background check in accordance with subsection (f) of this section
hereunder to determine whether the sale or transfer would be in violation of federal or state law;
(8)   Transactions involving the sale or transfer of a curio or relic to a licensed collector, as such terms
are defined in 27 C.F.R. 478.11, as the same may be amended from time to time;
(9)   Transactions involving the sale or transfer of a firearm to an authorized representative of the State
or any subdivision thereof as part of an authorized voluntary gun buyback program.
(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fee for a criminal history background check
may be charged for the return of a firearm to its owner that has been repaired, serviced or modified by a

business.
(e)   Any person who knowingly sells or transfers a firearm in violation of this section shall be guilty of
a class A misdemeanor. Any subsequent offense shall be a class G felony. The Superior Court shall

For purposes of this subsection, the terms "prospective buyer" and "prospective seller" shall include
prospective transferors and prospective transferees, respectively.

either the prospective buyer or prospective seller.
(2)   The prospective buyer shall be required to submit fingerprints and other necessary information in
order to obtain a report of the individual's entire criminal history record pursuant to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation appropriation of Title II of Public Law 92-544 (28 U.S.C. § 534). In addition, the
prospective buyer shall submit to the Bureau a signed affidavit stating that photographic identification
conflicts with the tenets of an organized church or religious group of which the prospective buyer is a
bona fide member.
(3)   In the event that said background check reveals that the prospective buyer is prohibited from
possessing, purchasing or owning a firearm, the Bureau shall so inform both parties of that fact and the
transfer shall not take place.
(4)   The Bureau shall maintain a record of all background checks under this section to the same extent
as is required of licensed dealers pursuant to Chapter 9 of Title 24.
15(5)   The Bureau is hereby authorized to promulgate such reasonable forms and regulations as may be
necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this subsection.

Ahh ok thanks for that correction. I thought it fell under a Loan but either hadn't realized, or simply forgot since it doesn't apply to me or my son yet, that it could be gifted to them.

My 6yo has a ways to go still though has become pretty proficient with his Red Rider BB rifle and air soft target practice.  ;D Beating the rules and firearm respect in at an early age. I load up 10 BBs for him at a time, he target shoots the target on a box filled with balled up paper and lined with about 10 layers of cardboard at the rear. He loves it.  ;D
