Delaware upholds the right to bear arms; however, the right to conceal a weapon in public carries limitations. The Delaware County Superior Court issues concealed weapons permits at its discretion. A person must establish the reason that a permit is needed. Delaware recognizes certain other state-issued permits through reciprocity agreements.

1. The safety course isn't required until you receive your decision from the court. Being $225 - $250, for some, it's better to wait.
2. You must publish your full name and home address in a paper that receives 33% of the subscribership in your ZIP. ($74 for the News Journal).
3. You must be fingerprinted by the State Police ($69) within 30 days of applying.
4. You'll need two passport photos ($15).

The safety course isn't required until a decision on your application has been made by the Superior Court Judge -- seeing as this course is $225-$250, it's worthwhile to mention that the course can be postponed until you receive your decision.
Second, it omits the fact that you also need to arrange to have your full name and home address posted in a newspaper which receives at least 33% of the circulation in your ZIP code... this reduces most of us to the News Journal. This costs about $74 and must be done 10 days prior to filing your application. The paper will send you notarized proof.

on 5/19/2008 This article is actually fairly inaccurate and, in the long run, is suggesting things in the wrong order.
