Yes, one firearm per 30 days
No limit
Yes, two firearms per 30 days
Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: Yes, one firearm per 30 days

In Delaware, there is indeed a limit on the number of firearms a person can purchase within a specific time frame. The law stipulates that an individual may only purchase one firearm every 30 days. This regulation is designed to help monitor and control firearm sales, with the intention of preventing potential abuse by individuals who may seek to acquire multiple firearms in a short period for illegal activities. This purchasing limitation applies to all types of firearms, ensuring that the state can track purchases more effectively and promote responsible gun ownership. While the law allows exceptions in certain cases, such as if an individual is purchasing for specific, lawful reasons or has obtained a special permit, the general rule prohibits the purchase of more than one firearm every 30 days for most buyers.
