AR Rifles and Pistols in Delaware

Shore88 · Dec 26, 2020

As a Maryland resident, I’m curious, as I live a stones throw from DE, are there any restrictions I should know about concerning bringing in a AR platform gun to shoot at a DE range? Barrel length limits, magazine capacity, open carry in vehicle, etc? From the little I’ve read so far DE seems not nearly as restrictive as MD. Thanks in advance!

I do know suppressors are a no-go in De.

I’m fine there. For now.

I have a good friend who just retired and moved to De. He has all kinds of ARs and other guns. He shoots Camp Perry every year(except of course, this year). I don't think they have any weird Merrylandish restrictions on the AR15.

I think mg, suppressor, sbs and dd are the only naughties in De.

SBR too I think...

I was told no NFA stuff at all allowed

Yes. I'm a resident of DE. There is not restriction except suppressor and sbr. You don't need HQL like Maryland. Just show up and purchase. Regular background check applies.

See if I’ve got this:
SBR no go in DE, even with tax stamp.
AR Pistol is OK - any length under 16”
No suppressor.
Any AR rifle ok so long as 16”+. No barrel limitations.
Open carry okay. Concealed carry need permit.
No mg or sbs
What is dd? It’s probably obvious but I’m having a mental block.

Good info. I’ll save that. Thanks!

This.

SBR's are legal in DE.

IANAL.

I didn’t see where SBR was prohibited either, so maybe the other two posts were typos. Thanks.

Was going to say SBR ok.

Long gun CANNOT be loaded in a vehicle or leaning against a vehicle.

According to https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/b...on-database-blog/nfa-items-permitted-by-state, DE does allow SBR's but no cans. That's a NO GO for me.

Only NFA stuff you can have in DE is AOW & SBR.
All non NFA is good to go.
