    Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. A little about myself, I'm 23 and have been a working as an engineer for about 2 years now. I spent a lot of my career designing aftermarket automotive parts specifically with sheet metal/tubing creating suspension and roll cages, and now I'm working for a different company doing some interior construction design. I have what feels like 436 hobbies, and when I'm not at work I'm at home working on some custom CAD projects and utilizing my 3D printer. I was raised in a home in which guns were viewed as "bad" and "unnecessary", which I feel is probably 90% of people thoughts prior to becoming a victim. On that note, I clearly feel as though when used responsibly by someone who is educated on the matter they're much less harmful than a lot of other decisions people decide to make. I've had my CC permit for about a year, but it wasn't until last week that I found THE gun that I wanted for an unbeatable price. Even though I've spent the past few weeks reading up on safe practices and my rights when carrying and the proper procedures, I have still been carrying with an empty magazine to insure my safety and more importantly the safety of others until I feel I have enough experience. Finally on to the good stuff, I was able to snag a full sized, steel framed 9mm Jericho 941. I spent a decent amount of time looking for an original IMI vs the IWI and I'm glad I waited, it just adds to the uniqueness in my opinion. Another reason I have not carried loaded yet is the fact that I'm still waiting to buy a holster. I'm currently 3D modeling my own in Solidworks and plan on 3D printing it in a thicker shell of nylon. I also intend to carry in that holster with an empty mag for a week or so to ensure its integrity. I've attached a picture below, if you've got any questions about 3D printing or anything in general feel free to ask. Hopefully this is the first edition to a small but efficient collection of guns!

    Thanks guys, also I was under the assumption that CC was an acronym for Concealed Carry and that what I intended to say. Thanks for the link to the 3D printing thread! Ill upload a picture of the holster 3D model upon completion and then finished pictures of the holster.

    CC is concealed carry.
    But Indiana is not a CC state.
    You can CC or OC, either one.
    The license/permit is a LTCH, License To Carry Handgun.
    It is for carrying, doesn't specify how.

    Thanks for clarifying, it seems as though they seem to throw that term around loosely on the application pages versus consistently referring to it as a LTCH.

    Edit: I take that back^ as I'm wrong, their website only refers to it as a LTCH.
