How can a Delaware resident purchase a handgun from another state?

Directly, without any requirements
Through a private sale only
Through a licensed Delaware dealer
By obtaining a special interstate purchase permit

The correct answer is: Through a licensed Delaware dealer

In Delaware, residents who wish to purchase a handgun from another state must do so through a licensed dealer. This process ensures that the sale complies with both federal and state regulations regarding the purchase and transfer of firearms. When a Delaware resident buys a handgun from an out-of-state dealer, the firearm must be shipped to a licensed firearms dealer in Delaware. The purchaser will then need to complete the necessary background checks and paperwork as required by Delaware law. This requirement is vital for maintaining accountability in firearm sales and ensuring that all transactions are conducted legally and safely. Also, it helps mitigate the risks of illegal firearm sales and enhances public safety by ensuring that proper checks are in place for every transaction involving handguns.
