Under Delaware law, is a permit required to purchase rifles and shotguns?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for shotguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles

The correct answer is: No

In Delaware, a permit is not required to purchase rifles and shotguns. The state has specific regulations regarding the purchase of handguns, which do necessitate a permit, but these requirements do not extend to long guns such as rifles and shotguns. This distinction is important for gun owners and potential purchasers to understand, as it influences the buying process and the legal framework surrounding firearm ownership in the state. Thus, the choice indicating that no permit is required for rifles and shotguns is accurate and aligns with Delaware's firearm regulations.
