Delaware law exempts some constable handgun purchases from checks

A qualified constable agency representative may buy handguns for constables working for the same employer without the background-check and permit requirements described in these sections. A constable must be commissioned under state law, licensed to carry a firearm by Delaware State Police, and authorized to carry one while performing official duties. The employer must authorize the purchase on behalf of its constables. The handgun must be for a constable's official duties.

A handgun qualified purchaser permit becomes void when its holder is no longer a qualified constable agency representative; the Director may also revoke it. This applies to a permit issued to a qualified constable agency representative. The permit also becomes void if its holder is disqualified under the listed rules. The permit becomes void if the holder stops qualifying after the permit is issued.
