    I have a few friends who have Lifetime Carry permits that just recently purchased long guns and handguns from the LGS ,
    and was told there was a 4 day waiting period ?
    I haven`t bought anything new in about a year :( ,( but always walked out the door with the days` purchase ) just wondered if something has changed that I missed , or what would warrant the waiting period .

    No waiting period in Indiana.

    Maybe their approvals were delayed during the background check? That could account for a three day wait, but it's not standard procedure.

    Indiana does not have a waiting period. You can get delayed during the NICS background check for 3 business days and can pick it up on the 4th business day if the LGS has not heard back. NICS usually notifies the LGS within those 3 days approved/denied, sometimes it's after the 3 days or not at all but you're still allowed to pick it up on the 4th business day even if the LGS hasn't heard anything back.

    Sounds like a " Delay " got confused or translated into "waiting period " ........................
    Maybe the delay was because it has been a while since my friend has made a purchase ?

    Thanks all ..........
