Delaware Permit to Purchase Handgun Bill to become Law

Anyone looking to buy a handgun in Delaware could soon face a multi-step process.
On Thursday, the Delaware Senate passed a bill outlining permit-to-purchase regulations for residents who want to buy handguns. Gov. John Carney has said he will sign the bill into law as soon as it gets to his desk.
I can only imagine it will be no time before it gets challenged and ruled on.

We had a permit to purchase requirement when I lived in NC, 20+ years ago... It was annoying but simple. Apply to your local Sheriff, wait 5 days, pick up permit (up to 5 individual permits at a time). When you purchased a handgun, you give one permit to the seller for each gun.
On the plus side, when I sold a gun and the buyer handed me a permit, I didn't have to guess whether they were a prohibited person.
In Delawares case, I'm certain that every application will be approved expeditiously, and based solely on merit. /sarcasm
In both cases, the process certainly INFRINGES!

Challenge would most likely fail. Look at NJ and IL (FOID) been around a long time.

It's great to see restrictive laws getting challenged, although I lose track of which laws, where, and when.
Have the NJ and IL purchase permits had post-Bruen decision challenges?
The problems that might be avoided with all of the permits could more easily be solved with identifying the firearm prohibition on a person's driver license. The irony (hypocrisy) is that the same people pushing the permitting schemes scream about civil rights violations when you talk about putting a convicted felon designation on a driver license.
