How long is the waiting period to purchase a handgun in Delaware?

24 hours
There is no waiting period
72 hours
5 business days

The correct answer is: 5 business days

In Delaware, the waiting period to purchase a handgun is 5 business days. This means that once a person submits their application to purchase a handgun, they will have to wait 5 business days before they can legally obtain the firearm. Option A, 24 hours, and option C, 72 hours, are incorrect because the waiting period is longer than both of those time frames. Option B, there is no waiting period, is also incorrect because there is a designated period of time that individuals must wait before receiving their firearms in Delaware. It is important to note that this waiting period only applies to the purchase of handguns and not to other types of firearms.
