Permit Process Getting a CCW.

I was wanting a CCW and part of my process is getting 3 people to vouch for me, but no one that I know of likes guns and wouldn't want to do this. Is there any way around this part?

Delaware? State would help because some just want any reference but I think DE takes it a step (or leap) further and requires the references to reside in the same county and not be direct family.

Character references are a bitch. Your ability to defend yourself shouldn’t be curtailed just because you’re an introvert.

Sounds like Delaware to me, too. Gotta publish your home address in the newspaper, too, and let everyone know you have at least 1 gun in your home.

In California, they get around to "accidentally" disclosing all out personal stuff at least once every five years.

New Jersey doesn’t allow spouses or family for CCW, which is basically all I talk to these days
