Current CCW Wait

[Soundslikejosh]

Singlesix, it might not be so bad after all. The license is not required to have your current address, you only need to have the proper address on file downstate. For example, when I moved, I was required to send them the new address, but was not required to get (ie. buy) a new copy of the license with the correct information shown. So, you can submit the paperwork so that they have your correct #, and go on your way IMO.

I think this is the correct link.
IN.gov: Frequently Asked Questions
I found the info below on the ISP website under FAQ. If you search you should be able to find the proper form to mail off.


My name or address has changed. Do I have to pay for a duplicate license?

No. Complete the “Duplicate Handgun License Request and Notification of Name or
Address Change Form” and mail or fax the form to the firearms section. Check that you
are notifying the section of your information change only. The change will be made in
the firearms database and there is no fee for this service. If you want a license issued
with the changes on it, then yes, the $20 fee for the duplicate license does apply.

I made a mistake on mine too. Only I think mine is a little more of a goof than yours. I mark No next to the question about misdemeanors instead of yes so I suspect my wait time will be longer. I called them and told them and they just said it will delay it longer. Whether that means a denial, or I just have to correct it, or if they are just going to overlook it, I don't know. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks. Been waiting 4 weeks for mine and still haven't cashed my MO.

Just been wondering; there is a long wait time for permit. Obviously a lot of Indiana citizen want carry permit. But it got me wonder: How many of them are just for target and hunting? I mean I did the Lifetime PPP so I won't have any hassles but if I could target and hunt without a Permit I would. Any do a poll on this subject. Don't want to repeat.

I was at the City County Building in Indy renewing my LTC (upgrade to Lifetime - w00t) and dropping off a Form 1 (hey, if I'm getting printed once, might as well get printed a couple more times). The guy in front of me was renewing his LTC as well, and asked what the current wait time was. Lady behind the counter said 10 weeks... guy asked why, and she said "everybody's wanting them now". That's encouraging!

Just got my Lifetime Permit today. This was a new permit. Looks like I need to go shopping tomorrow for a carry pistol :P

Applied 4/9/2008

Received 5/16/2008

That's 5 Weeks and 2 Days

SS - you can get a permit just for hunting/target, but since you got the Lifetime PP you are covered on ALL aspects. Its the smarter way to do it IMO.

[singlesix]

Well to put it another way: How many people would not have applied for a PP if they didn't need a Permit for Target or Hunting?

[W9ZEB]

I would imagine at least half of the people applying for any license, wanted it for PP. I also imagine most Hoosiers think it's perfectly legal to transport an unloaded firearm in a wrapper, in the trunk of their car to/from the range.

I agree. I lived here for more than four years before I realized that I actually needed a permit to carry my guns to the range.
