Will a maglock make it legal to purchase a new rifle that would normally be banned?
A local gunshop told me that if I ordered a rifle online to their shop, they could install a maglock on it to make it legal for purchase. I wanted to know if anyone else has done this, and if it would indeed make it legal to purchase?
I also wanted to know how easily would it be reversable to uninstall if Delaware ever overturned the "assault weapons" ban.

Shipping firearms to another state
My parents are currently holding my guns and are moving to Delaware. I currently reside in Utah and want to have my guns shipped over here eventually. My question is how they would do this if I am not able to be present, I am rarely able to visit (I won't be able to see them for a year, if that). Would they bring them to a local FFL and ask it to be sent to be sent near me that I specify? I also have ammo as well. Some of the guns and ammo have boxes but others don't, would a gun shop be able to do packaging? I havent done something like this before.

Roni pistol conversion with brace legal?
My brother is new to guns, he has a g19 with 15 round magazines and he plans to take a ccw class. I live in VA and found out in DE you can’t own a normal AR and it needs to be CA compliant essentially. Are Roni MCKs with the pistol brace legal in DE? Or should I just get him to get like a ruger mini14 or ruger pcc?

Gun ranges
Hey all, I'm looking for a free (or cheap/affordable) gun range to go to. Just got my first pistol and want to check out a few places.
Edit: I'm in New Castle County in the MOT area, willing to travel an hour or less. So Wilmington and probably Camden or a bit further south.

Silencer/Suppressor Military Exemption
Hello,
Have only lived in a Delaware for about a year, I’m active duty stationed at the Air Force base. I’m an avid squirrel hunter and was about to commit on building a new suppressed .22lr build and realized cans are illegal here. When I read the law on the DGA website, I saw that a silencer is considered a class E destructive device:
“A person is guilty of possessing a destructive weapon when the person sells, transfers, buys, receives or has possession of a bomb, bombshell, firearm silencer, sawed-off shotgun, machine gun or any other firearm or weapon which is adaptable for use as a machine gun.”
Then I saw this paragraph below it:
“Possessing a destructive weapon is a class E felony. This Section does not apply to members of the military forces or to members of a police force in this State duly authorized to carry a weapon of the type described-“
If I’m to take this literally, maybe I’m exempt? Has anybody experienced this or know anybody who has been able to own a silencer in this state because they’re military personnel? I just want to squirrel hunt in peace. Thank you!

Medical clearance help
A family friend I've been pestering to get armed wants to buy a gun but believes due to a stint in a psych ward, they are legally unable to purchase a firearm unless they get clearance from a licensed medical professional or psychiatrist (they have neither anymore, it's been years they claim since the incident) as per:
11 Del. Code § 1448, § 1448A
The following persons are prohibited from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling a deadly weapon or ammunition for a firearm within the state:
Any person who has ever been committed for a mental disorder to any hospital, mental institution or sanitarium, unless such person can demonstrate that he or she is no longer prohibited from possessing a firearm by possessing a certificate of a medical doctor or psychiatrist licensed in Delaware hat the person is no longer suffering from a mental disorder which interferes or handicaps the person from handling deadly weapons"
They say that they worked in a psychiatry office once and they avoid clearing patients for liability reasons and haven't had a doctor in years.
With all this information I've been provided I still want to help them find a way to get clearance under the law as I believe them far more than mentally stable enough to possess a firearm, what avenues should she look into? Any tips and info would be a great help here, God bless!

Preban proof
I have had an AR for 15+years or so, but no longer have the receipt for the lower.... I'm pretty sure I don't have the upper either. What I do have receipts for is things I've gotten more recently over the years (trigger, rails, optics, ammo, etc). The oldest receipt I could find was 2011. Does that provide evidence if ever needed?

SBR
Long story short..... Bought 10.5in upper before ban planning to make a pistol that ultimately never happened.
I bought a stripped lower and a bullet button recently and obviously know about the ban now.... (1) was wondering how the nondetachable magazines options work with SBR? Are they still illegal on their own? Or do I own a nice paper weight now? Don't live in Wilmington
(2) when they talk about grandfathering in.... they are referring to the lowers correct? Won't matter that I have a receipt for pre ban for the upper?

First AR Build
galleryThis will be my first ar build. Simply putting together a complete lower and a complete upper. Seems to be the most budget friendly option.
Just so confusing, I’ve had multiple FFL’s say they can’t transfer a complete lower because it’s illegal , a couple said it won’t be a problem and they will do the transfer.
Is the barrel length and issue?
Maybe I’m overthinking but I will only take this to the range 2-3 a month. What happens if you get pulled over? I never got asked if I have a weapon let alone got searched. I will get 10 round mags.
I will install a bullet button. What happens if I don’t ? Do they ask when I got it ? I have friends that bought their AR’s years ago and even have 30 round mags.
Anything I’m missing ?

Building an AR in Delaware, have a question on legality.
Was at the local shop recently and was told that if I buy a stripped lower, "the state will make you buy the bullet button." I was also told "You have to buy the button but you don't have to use it. The state makes you buy it, after that it's up to you whether you want to use it or not."
I can't find any literature online to support or oppose the claim, can anyone here help me?

Proper training and classes in Delaware that are LGBTQ friendly?
Wondering if anyone knows where I could take some proper handling, shooting, self-defense, and first aid classes in my area? Preferably in or around Delaware or South Eastern PA.
I want to make sure I take the proper steps to really know what I’m doing before owning any firearms, I just worry about walking into any range or class without knowing if they’re LGBTQ+ friendly.
Any tips would be super helpful, thank you !

Beretta A300 Ultima patrol
Hello everybody,
I just bought a A300 Ultima patrol shotgun and I’d like to put a stock with a pistol grip on it.
Is this legal to do in Delaware?
From what I’ve read a center fire rifle is considered an assault weapon when it only has one scary attachment and shotguns are allowed two.

Aero Precision Other Firearm ODG 13.9in Delaware Legal?
13.9 inch barrels are considered an "other" weapon, right? Are these legal in DE? Still fairly new to shooting. I'd rather have a Ruger LC carbine for home defense but seems like a good option, and maybe pretty fun at the range.
