The DE AG Reciprocity Page at
Delaware Department of Justice - Attorney Generals Office
Does say something about other states not honoring their permit/License. It states This:
Start
The Attorney General is in the process of securing agreements with the appropriate officials in certain other states which when completed, permit persons who have a concealed deadly weapon license or permit issued by one of those states to lawfully possess a concealed deadly weapon while visiting or traveling through Delaware. Similarly, Delawareans will be able to possess a concealed deadly weapon while visiting or traveling through those states. However, as of today Delaware does not recognize the concealed deadly weapon licenses or permits issued by states other than those listed below, and these states do not recognize Delaware's concealed deadly weapons licenses as valid..........End
But they are talking about the states not listed and not those listed as not honoring their Permit/License.
But below the list on the DE AG's Page it states this:
Start
Delawareans who have a Delaware concealed deadly weapons permit will be able to possess a concealed deadly weapon while visiting or traveling through the states listed above, and also in Idaho, Indiana and Vermont. However, Delawareans who possess a concealed deadly weapon in another state will be subject to and are responsible for knowing and obeying all of the laws and regulations in the other state that apply to the carrying and possession of concealed or openly-carried deadly weapons. Because of differences in the laws of the various states, it is possible that a person who is lawfully permitted to possess a deadly weapon pursuant to Delaware law may be prohibited from doing so in another state. Most other states require any person who is carrying a concealed deadly weapon pursuant to a license or permit to also be in possession of the license or permit. ....End
But again I called SLED over 2 months ago to confirm and was told they did have an agreement. After being informed of this thread I called again and was told NO.
SLED has been very slow in updating their site. I believe there is a good chance there is an agreement but at this time if SLED says no that is what most LEO's will go by. Many Reasons I say this. 1st SLED has taken up to 9 months in the past to post that they have signed an agreement. 2nd. There is one person in SLED who takes care of Agreements and He does it part time and was it is not a priority.
I had to straighten out DE over a year ago when they listed VA as a state they had signed with and VA said NO. In our discussions they finally told me they jumped the gun and didn't have an agreement and removed VA and didn't post it with a true agreement for over 6 months.
It is items like this that make people lose faith in their Government. Either DE or SC is wrong in one way or the other. Either an agreement exists or ir doesn't. Neither post their agreements on their website when they sign them like other states do.
The one thing good about this thread is it made me go back and look again. Thank you. The one thing I dislike most of all is having info that is incorrect. Though I go the extra to make sure sometimes even that is not enough.
