Be sure to disclose everything on the app. If you don't, it won't matter what it is. They can deny you.

My concern is paying to have all the forms and prints done then waiting 6-8 weeks ( if I'm lucky) to get the yea/nea from the state police. Worst case scenerio I lose some money and time anticipating.

If denied, the state fee is refunded.

Not sure about the legal, but you get your drinking under control? Caught two times, 7 years apart, only 3 since the last one? If not, maybe you shouldn't be carrying a gun?

If you don't have the good sense to call a cab I'm not sure I'd want you next to me with +1 in a Glock if you know what I mean....

You will be okay, It took me 3 months to get mine and I did the online way last summer when my 4 yr was up for renewal. Just make sure you get the lifetime. Also if you would like you can get on in.gov/isp and pay for a background check and it will show what is on your record. Honestly it is good for anyone who has ever got into any trouble because they screw up a lot. They had my record all jacked up over a couple pot charges when I was 18(yeah wasn't a very good pothead, had to quit couldn't afford the trouble) and I was okay and honestly they could of got me as not a "proper person" but it had been like 8 yrs ago.

There can be a large difference between "date of offense" and "date of conviction". If it has been over 3 years since date of conviction then it should be okay if disclosed. As mentioned above, it might be a good idea to check your official record.
IANAL

I know that having one OWI does not impact it, from personal experience. The second one I am not so sure about. After my OWI, 20 years ago, I decided not to drive with more than one beer in my system. I have stuck with that and have been very happy. A cab is way to easy to call compared to screwing around with the legal system! Not trying to preach, just my personal choice.
First and foremost, be honest, there would be much more hell to pay if they catch you in a lie.

Expect LONG wait times if any convictions, I applied for mine in Nov. of 2012 and still do not have it. My conviction was in 89, non violent and non felony, but an arrest never the less. I called IN state police and they told me if I had an arrest ever, the wait time would be indefinite.
