Renewing/Applying for LTCH...

[Bill of Rights]

As of today, 18 Nov 2009, there are two new counties in which one may apply for a LTCH online: Adams and Jay counties are the newest additions to the list.

Citizens living in the following 27 counties may now apply online for their LTCH prior to visiting the CLEO to get printed.

ADAMS
ALLEN
BARTHOLOMEW
BOONE
BROWN
CASS
CLARK
CLINTON
DELAWARE
ELKHART
FLOYD
GREENE
HARRISON
HENDRICKS
HOWARD
JAY
JACKSON
JENNINGS
LAWRENCE
MARION
MIAMI
MONROE
OWEN
PORTER
SCOTT
WASHINGTON
WELLS

The site to do so is Application for Handgun License.

This, BTW, is 27 of 92 counties in Indiana, or 29%, with more counties adding this capability on an infrequent basis.

Blessings,
Bill

How does the online application work? Would I have to go to my local Police Department still, or could I take it to the Sheriff's office? Are there any real advantages to it?

You just fill it out online then go to the Sheriff's office, at your leisure, within the next 30 days. The advantage for me was that I get off work at 3:30 and the records department in my county closes at 4:00. So by filling it out online, I was able to get it done without taking time off work.

I can go to the sheriff's department instead of my local PD if I do it online, even though I live within the town?

No, you have to go to whatever law enforcement agency that serves where you live. I live just outside the city limits so I went to the Elkhart Co. Sheriff's department, but if I lived across the street I would have gone to the Goshen police dept.

Seems my application was denied by local police around mid-october for an Order of Protection. Although the order has been dropped, and the state was faxed the court form, they still won't grant the license. The court records show that there was'nt any attempt to serve me with the order and the petitioneer did'nt show up, but the Judge decided to grant it anyway. I have cleared myself with NICS, and was able to purchase a handgun, but the state of Indiana wants to drag its heels, and not send me my denial letter so I can appeal.

I would call the State police and ask if there is an appeal process. I would hate to think you might have to get a lawyer involved, but it could come to that.

I called ISP and there is an appeal process. Problem is that my application was denied Oct. 22, but they won't mail out the denial letter until mid-december. Sooner or later I will get the license, because they have "NO CHOICE". If I am not a "proper person" then I don't know what is.


...oh and can someone explain to me how filing for divorce automatically grants a woman a protection order?

 

[Failure Drill]

any truth to the rumor that you only have till the end of the year to get your lifetime permit?

 

[lyric911]

I meant to post this the day I applied, but the Anderson City Police Dept. now charges $10 for the fingerprinting, so make sure you have cash for that too if you're in Anderson city limits.

[awesome list....]

Just one more reason to loathe Vanderburgh County, hm?

Guess I'm going to have to go in and do it manually.

And here I was trying to sit around and be lazy....

No, but why risk it? Get your lifetime LTCH as soon as you are able then you are somewhat insulated from the whims of state law makers.

True insulation from insane edict is to disregard it.

If by that you mean, carry without a permit, I hope you never have to use your pistol.

Why's that? If he has to use it, he should be fine. Although I hope he never has to use it either, or that I ever need to.
IC 35-41-3-2
Use of force to protect person or property
Sec. 2. (a) A person is justified in using reasonable force against another person to protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person:
(1) is justified in using deadly force; and
(2) does not have a duty to retreat;
if the person reasonably believes that that force is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to the person or a third person or the commission of a forcible felony. No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary.

I remember a case many years ago I think mid 80's where a store owner in I think IL shot a robber with a firearm he legally owned but illegally possessed in his store. IIRC he was prosecuted for having the firearm and convicted but was overturned on appeal because of similar language. Anyone able to help me out on this?

This is the government though. If they want to nix handgun permits all they have to do is change a law and have our "representatives" vote on it and all of a sudden any right to legally carry a handgun is gone.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

Not to burst your bubble.. but it is ultimately their decision whether or not you get it.. even if you do bring an attorney.. they can still deny you. I wish you good luck though.

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I would rather not be arrested, in the first place. Even if I did have fantastic grounds for appeal.

The legislators are far more likely to make LTCH much harder to get and far more expensive, than they are to take them away entirely. Still your point is well taken! They could attempt to take them away entirely. Thus the term somewhat in my original post.
