I started a thread on the Conceal Carry forum and although there were over a hundred views, I was surprised that I only received a couple comments. Perhaps I am over thinking this but I'm curious of other's opinions.
As most know, here in Delaware there are quite a few steps required to apply not to mention a possible 6 month wait for approval. That said, I was looking at a few states that Delaware accepts reciprocity from and one was WV. Now WV just went to Constitutional Carry, but it's my understanding that if a resident there wants to carry in a state that requires a permit, they can still get have to have the permit from WV. In other words, Delaware isn't going to allow a WV resident to carry in Delaware unless they have a permit from their state.
I looked at WV application and all that's required is they fill out a single page form and take it to their local county Sheriff's Dept. The Sheriff does a background check and if passed sends it on the WVSP. The permit is then granted. I find it interesting that this simple application process is all it takes for a WV resident to conceal carry in Delaware. If this is the case, why should we as residents of Delaware not to be able to fill out a simple form to be able to legally carry in our own state. Just looking for some intelligent conversation on the subject.
