How to buy a firearm as a new resident?

[manifest destiny]

If you're a proper person and already own a gun, you can carry it now. Also, please be sure to rinse off all of that Illinois crud at the state line. We don't want the Illinois contagion spreading to IN. Welcome!

Get your Indiana drivers license I believe you will need proof of residence for them.
Then get on the Indiana State Police website and
apply for your Lifetime carry permit. I believe we just have to pay for finger print scans now, like 10 bucks or so.
Easy Peasy.

This is a solid plan! Even though we have Constitutional Carry in Indiana, other states may honor a LTCH before the CC Carry. Wifey did hers and yes the digital print job was around $12. Easy Peasy. Had the License in about 10 days. I've had mine since the Lifetime started.
Yes get your Indiana DL too for ID's.
