DELAWARE STATE SENATE 147th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SENATE BILL NO. 137

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO FIREARMS.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1. Amend Chapter 14, Title 11 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strike through as follows:

11 Del C §1446B Undetectable Firearms.

(a) Any person in this state who manufactures or causes to be manufactured, or who knowingly imports into the state for sale, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, transfers or receives, or who possesses any undetectable firearm, firearm receiver, ammunition, or magazine designed to hold ammunition is guilty of a class G felony.

(b) As used in this section, an "undetectable firearm" means any firearm which, after removal of grips, stocks, and magazines, is not detectable by a metal detector or magnetometer because there is no material permanently affixed that would be detectable by a metal detector or magnetometer, either handheld or otherwise, that is set at standard calibration.

SYNOPSIS

This bill prohibits the possession, sale and manufacture of a firearm undetectable by metal detectors.
