What happens to your Lifetime LTCH if you move out of state?

[nawainwright]

I have been pondering a move to New Hampshire, and I know they recognize our permits there. My question has to do with the status of the permit when I move out of state, does that invalidate it? Or does it just remain on the books?

I would think that it would be void b/c you are no longer a indiana resident, that is unless you maintain a residence here as well as in N.H.

I called ISP regarding this a few months ago because I was thinking about taking a job in FL.

When you move out of state you call ISP and they will deactivate your license. If you move back in state all you have to do is call them and have your license reactivated. That is how it was explained to me on the phone.

So the license would not be valid during the time in which you don't reside in state. But if you move back in state it can be validated again without having to go through the application process again.

I can go with that, how ever if the state you move to has resprocity, why invalidate it, just keep it until your required DL is due or it expires!

If you make a move due to the military it stays as a valid permit.

Because you are legally obligated to inform the ISP when you move.

Yup, just found that online...thanks for clarity!

Cool! Added to the INGO FAQ.

Yep, within 60 days of the address change. I had to do this a couple weeks ago. It's as easy as printing a form from the ISP site, and faxing it to their firearms licensing division for free (unless you want to have the LTCH with the updated address for $20).

Was this an in state move or out of state move? I just applied for mine (waiting on it now), but I may be moving to a new apt this summer. Just wondering if its still valid at a different address in state.

If you move within Indiana all you have to do is notify ISP. If you want a new license with the new address it will cost you $20. If you don't want the license updated with the new address there is no cost. Per I.C. all you have to do is notify ISP.

edited to add: I moved in Jan and did not update the address on my license as I will be renewing in June. No since in spending $20 for a license change that will be renewed within six months.

Thanks, needed to know that.

+1 for this thread.

 

[lawrra]

Yes it was in state. Your LTCH does not need to reflect your new address to be valid once you have notified the ISP.

One more twist.

I lived in Indiana. I obtained the lifetime permit to carry a handgun. I moved to michigan, but commute just across the state line and (still) work in Indiana. I obtained my CPL (Concealed Pistol License) in Michigan, since my IN LiCH was no good (in Michigan) if I had residency in MI. So far so good.

I called the IN state police and asked about my lifetime LiCH, considering that I worked in Indiana 6 days a week, and occasionally carried large sums of money, BUT lived in Michigan. Here's the interesting part:

They said I should send them a change of address notice, but list my workplace as the "home" address.

So now, I think I am the only non-Indiana-resident with a valid and in-force lifetime LiCH. Or, maybe the cop of the dayjust told me wrong.

So let's suppose that my Indiana Lifetime permit is not really valid. Does my michigan CPL reciprocity cover me? I would think yes.

What say the experts???

Thanks in advance,

I'm moving to CO in January. I'll be applying for a CO ccw as soon as I can. I'm tempted to not even get the ccw as CO is an open carry state. But it's required if you want to be legal in Denver as they have a ban on OC.

Hopefully I receive my CO ccw with in 60 days. I doubt it though.
