Renewing/Applying for LTCH...

[Patient Zer0]

How big of a hassle is it to renew/apply for a permit in Marion county? I need to renew and my wife wants to apply (finally). I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions to make it go smoother.

I need to apply too, I found this resource that looks pretty valuable.

How to Apply for a Lifetime License to Carry a Handgun in Indiana - wikiHow

[Pami]

Thread moved and stuck since this is a pretty frequent question.

Slacker, excellent find!!

FYI, I think that might be a little outdated and possibly some incorrect info could be provided as well. Just two things I noticed:
1. You are not required to list a reason anymore, just a type of license you want.
2. It mentions that you are licensed to carry concealed.

I do permit apps for my jurisdiction. Send a PM and I'll send a phone # if you like, to answer ?.s.

I live in Missouri and have a CCW, We are planning to move to Indiana next summer "Madison" and was wondering how long do you have to live
in Indiana before you can apply for the lifetime carry permit? I still have
2 years left on the Mo. before I would have to get it renewed. Thanks

I can't find anything in the handgun licensing code. I would take that to mean you just have to prove residency (IN drivers license, utility bill, etc.)

Ah, thank you. I knew in the back of my head that there was a 6 month clause, but I couldn't find anything to back it up. Note that (2) says you can be a legal resident without having the 6 months in.
