In Delaware, who is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits?

  1. The Department of Safety and Homeland Security

  2. The local police department

  3. The Attorney General's office

  4. The Prothonotary's office

The correct answer is: The Prothonotary's office

In Delaware, the Prothonotary's office is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits. The Department of Safety and Homeland Security, the local police department, and the Attorney General's office are not responsible for issuing these permits. The Department of Safety and Homeland Security is responsible for managing the statewide background check system and maintaining the list of prohibited persons, but not for issuing permits. The local police department may be involved in the application process, but they do not have the authority to issue permits. The Attorney General's office may provide legal guidance on firearms laws, but they are not directly involved in the permitting process. It is important to understand the correct entity responsible for issuing permits in order to successfully apply for a concealed carry permit in Delaware.
