I suppose I should probably post what all else has been involved in the process and to show how insane it is to get a permit in Delaware:July 31: Bought my first firearm ever -- S&W Sigma 9mm. (-$280)
Aug 19: Started my training course as required by the state. (-$225)
Aug 30: Bought my Springfield XD (-$399)
Sep 2: Finished my training course.
Sep 5: Arranged to have my intent to obtain a permit published in the Legal Notices in the News Journal. (-$74)
Sep 17: Make an appointment for fingerprinting/background check on Oct 9.
Sept 18: Sold my Sigma 9mm. Yay. (+$350)
Sep 28: Obtained all 5 character references.
Oct 1: Filled out my questionaire and had it notorized.
Oct 9: Got fingerprinted for my background check. (-$69)
Nov 1: Background check sent to Prothonotary. (Found out on 11/19 via call)
Nov 19: Called Prothonotary. Application at AG's office being processed.
Nov 29: Almost there -- letter from Delaware DoJ giving their non-commital, non-challenging, non-refusal recommendation to the Prothonotary. Time elapsed so far: 3 months, 10 days. (Image Above)

On another note, Delaware's license is a 'Carry Concealed Deadly Weapons' permit. Delaware defines as a deadly weapon: a knife, billy, blackjack, a bomb, chain, metal knuckles, ice pick or any other dangerous instrument as defined in another section. That's kind of a broad definition as one could interpret that they could carry a concealed bomb -- what in gods name were lawmakers thinking?

"Sep 5: Arranged to have my intent to obtain a permit published in the Legal Notices in the News Journal. (-$74)"
The fact that you have applied for your permit is published? With your name?
Full name -- no abbreviations and home address.
Amazing. Simply amazing. Kudos for seeing it through and good luck with the remainder of the process.
