Back when I got my DECCW, I used 5 people that I had known and worked with for 20 years or more and one extra that I had known for 5 years or more. The reason I sent in 6 was that one of the references I used was going to Florida for 4 months and I was afraid they would try to contact them and balk because they were unreachable. I got my DECCW in just less than 8 weeks in Kent County. Been a couple years now, but not much has changed. The more reputable the reference and the longer you've know them, the better.
I'd rather have a gun in my hand, that a cop on the phone.
I reserve the right to not be perfect.
I have my Jesus, my Bible and my gun, I don't need anything else.
