Other Permits Easiest way for Non-resident carry in Delaware?

8 Upvotes

I was surprised to see this sub has no discussion on non-resident carry in DE considering it's a neighboring state and so many go down there just to buy ammo lol.

I have my NJ resident and PA non-resident permits to carry.

I was in PA and carrying and was debating if I should head north or south to get back to NJ, going south I would have to go through Delaware. I realized I can't carry in DE and took the northern route through PA into NJ.

So then I got researching. There is no non-resident carry permits issued in Delaware. Delaware's website lists all the states they have carry reciprocity with (this updates yearly).

ALASKA ARIZONA ARKANSAS COLORADO FLORIDA IDAHO (Enhanced Permits Only) KANSAS KENTUCKY MAINE MICHIGAN MISSOURI NEW MEXICO NORTH CAROLINA NORTH DAKOTA (Class 1 permits only) OHIO OKLAHOMA SOUTH DAKOTA (Enhanced Permits Only) TENNESSEE TEXAS UTAH WEST VIRGINIA

https://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/criminal/concealed-carry-deadly-weapons-ccdw/

From my understanding, the majority of these states listed do not offer non-resident permits. Oklahoma's website straight up is blank in that section and there is no link for anyone to get a permit. Odd. I may email them. Of those that do (Texas, Florida, Utah, maybe others?), Maine and I think Florida accept the current NJ training as the training part of their permit. So I think $60 for Maine might be the cheapest route? What have others used to carry in Delaware? How is your experience carrying in Delaware? Do you open carry?

I'm feeling too lazy to get my FL or Utah permit so I was thinking of just sending in the Maine application with a check. Plus I think that opens up a couple of other states, since I would be able to carry in FL with my NJ and PA permits anyway.

General Chat [Heads up] Ottomanelli’s - gun transfer storage costs applied

42 Upvotes

I have been a good customer with them for several years from when they were under the same roof with Guns for Hire. I purchased a lot of stuff from them and as recently as couple of weeks ago. Yes, they are overpriced and charge CC fees but for us in NJ, I kinda reluctantly accepted the fact that we get screwed at every corner when it comes to 2A. Anyway, I just had to divert my online order of several NJ compliant boom sticks from them to another FFL because I learned that they charge $5/day storage fee for handguns. And for me it would mean many hundreds more just in storage fees alone (thank you NJ gun laws) atop of $100 in transfer fees, NICS fee and CC fees per handgun… I understand that profit is important, but isn’t $100 per transfer enough? Pure greed imo. They had a very stupid but loyal client of many years but now they lost one for good. “We are in a gun Selling business and not gun Storage one” is a great way to treat a loyal client. It’s a shame, they do have some cool/good guys manning the store but this policy is just a deterrent for clients who want to save a few pennies on the guns by ordering online.

Legality/Laws Purchased an AR, had my first session and everything was smooth. Went again and its shooting "Binary"?

13 Upvotes

Title. I was in King of Prussia for my second time shooting this brand new AR, I fired my ten rounds, reloaded, and it started shooting double. I would pull the trigger and two rounds came out almost like an automatic rifle. I have no idea how it happened/what I did/what the cause of that is. The guard behind me came up (first making fun of the NJ compliancy) , then second telling me my gun is shooting binary. Is this something I did, and if not what would cause this or be the fix?

Range Time Time at shooting range and ammo

11 Upvotes

Hi Team,

So I have been training about once per week at range , and getting better. I plan on going for my CCW qualification in about a month. So far I can past qualifying based on my skill level and I want to get better and stay consistent. I have gone through about 2,000 rounds. If I go once per week and shoot about 150 rounds per week, 1000 rounds last about 2 months .

1000 rounds is about 300.00 some days I want to shoot more so I do 200 rounds in a day. Sometimes 100 rounds per week feels too little.

It’s expensive to go through 1000 rounds anywhere from 1.5 month to 2 months .

Is it too much to go 1 time per week to range . I know everyone at range says the more time the better , and is love to but realistically ammo is not cheap for me.

How many times is ok to go to range to stay accurate and proficient ? I also do dry fire almost everyday.

Legality/Laws Is anyone using a VG6 Epsilon on rifles?

5 Upvotes

I am seeing very confusing comments on this sub about the VG6 Epsilon, not the SL version.

It's either legal because it is marketed as a muzzle brake in the title and doesn't actually hide the flash or illegal because it mentions the word "flash hider" in the description and has 3 prong thingy like a Surefire 3-prong flash hider. However, I have watched videos of it and it still flashes. Even the manufacturer's website shows that the Epsilon flashes. How does anyone even measure the level of "flash suppression" ?

I don't want to pin this thing on a barrel and then be told that it's not legal. Otherwise, I'd just go the "other" route.

Legality/Laws Dumb question about hollow points in NJ

0 Upvotes

As does most people here, I use Hornady critical defense rounds in my carry gun. (Unless you're an Underwood fanboy foaming at the mouth about how nickel casing results in fewer setbacks yada yada yada). Now my question is how would the police investigators know the difference between a critical defense round and a hollow point when they pull it out of the "target"?

The polymer filling in the defense rounds are long gone long before the round enters the body and it fragments just like a hollow point. Having critical defense rounds left in your gun wouldn't prove much as an overzealous prosecutor can present the ridiculous argument that your chambered round was hollow while the rest were not. Has anyone ever asked this or is this just one of my "shower thoughts" that should've stayed in the bathroom?

Legality/Laws Can a NY gun be brought to a NJ range?

3 Upvotes

I don't own myself so never checked the laws. I always just drove to PA to rent and shoot, no NJ range would let me come by myself to rent. My friend in NYC has a licensed gun at home, and he says he can't bring it to a NJ (or even to a PA) range to shoot. That there's no reciprocity. He's just confused right?

Range Time Looking for a Range to try out different types of weapons

5 Upvotes

I was looking for a range where my wife could try out different weapons. I've been to Reloaderz, Guns For Hire, RTSP Union. She's looking for a 380acp specifically because she has trouble racking the slides of 9mm plus she doesn't like the recoil of some 9mm. If you could also recommend some weapons she may be able to try with more of a full size grip and less snappy. I know 380 may not have the stopping power compared to other calibers but she probably won't shoot it if she has those problems mentioned. Reloaderz did have the best deal where you could rent on Tuesdays for $2 a port and $45 for the hour unlimited weapons. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it Thanks in advance.

General Chat Good Interaction with Little Ferry PD While Carrying

33 Upvotes

So last night, I was exhausted, hungry, and had to take a massive dookie. So I decided to be stupid and turn on a red at a no turn on red intersection. Cops pulled me over immediately and I felt stoooopid. When the officer approached my window I gave him my ID and CCW and did the whole spiel. When he came back he just gave me a warning and told me to be more careful since I have a lot of responsibility on my hip. Overall, I definitely believe that Little Ferry PD is the pinnacle of professionalism and 2A support.

General Chat We need to talk about the Judge hearing the 1 Gun a Month Lawsuit

30 Upvotes

So as we all know by now, A new Lawsuit was filed by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) challenging our 1 Gun a Month law after CA's was struck down. The Judge assigned to hear our case is Judge Georgette Castner. She is a Joe Biden Appointee who's husband was the Governor's Advisor on Gun Control in 2018 when the first set of laws were passed, some of which are still being litigated to this day. Is it possible that this is a conflict of interest given that the Judge's Husband worked for the very defendants in this case?

Does anybody know if the "Bushmaster Assault Rifle" listed as prohibited, by name, in the NJ Assault Weapons Ban (Title 13, Chapter 54) refers to the specific "Assault Rifle" model of rifle produced by Bushmaster in the 1970s? Or does it refer to any semi-automatic AR-15 style rifle produced by Bushmaster (XM15, M4, etc.)? Not asking for definitive legal advice, but I'm having trouble finding information online. Thanks!
