Does the state of delaware require a background check, waiting period and the like for both long guns and hand guns? If there is a difference in the paperwork needed, does anyone know? I seem to have found conflicting information online so far.

Its federal law for a background check for all new guns.

Delaware has an ATF background check for all handguns and long guns... when you fill it out they call ATF ...ATF will clear a at time sale or an on hold sale.. if you get an on hold sale you have to wait a week before able to pick up firearm.. Delaware is pretty much no felonies and you can't have more than 3 misdemeanors and no violent or drug offenses..

Sounds like s anti-gun person wanting to start problems.

I believe it's all the same.they fill everything out in the computer and it normally take 10 to 20 minutes.then you walk out with the gun.

Ok. Thank you for the answers everyone.

Long guns ,,need drivers license no wait,,,,,, pistol you have to wait a week or so

Check your local police they should know.
