Current LTCH Wait

[GetA2J]

Went downtown to City-County today to get a new 4yr permit. There were 5 other people there filling out applications. The lady at the desk said that it should be done in 10 weeks. We'll see. I hope it's not that long.

Indytechnerd......
With a lifetime permit available why-oh-why settle for the 4 year?????
With all due respect and I am happy that you are applying for a permit and I hope you put yourself among those of us who will write our congresscritters and keep the line on upcoming legislation.

Simple, my wife and I are focusing on getting out of debt. I dropped $40 today instead of $125. 4yrs from now, we're debt free minus the house. Then, I'll pony up for the lifetime renewal.

I got my original permit in 1991, and let it lapse in 2003 because I didn't have a gun to carry (went broke and needed to buy food and such). Now that my kids are bigger, meaning I'm not carrying a kid who's digging their foot into my gun, which is then digging into my hip, I'm getting my permit again and getting a new carry gun. Hopefully, by the Indy 1500 in January, I'll have my paper.

We both are counting on a hypothetical situation.
A) You are hypothetically stating that $85 would keep you and your wife in debt longer than the next 4 years.
B) I am hypothetically stating that during the obamanation that is the next 4 years IF in fact they (the administration) do NOT completely take away our right to carry they will have at least greatly limited the number and life span of legal permits.

I hope we both are wrong.

"I" for one will renew with a lifetime issue permit even if I have to borrow to do it.
I can apply on or after March 19 2009. *fingers crossed*

Just got the lifetime after almost exactly 6 weeks.

Went into Office Max and got it laminated for 85 cents. She said she does 12 a day!

No, I'm stating that this week, I have $40 to spend on a handgun permit. I will NOT borrow right now on anything.

Having said that, I didn't come here to get bashed for getting a 4yr instead of the lifetime. I appreciate your opinion, but this thread is about waits, so get off my ass.

38Special: So when did you mail off your package? Mailed ours Oct. 14th. 5wks 1day. I'm anxiously/patiently waiting and checking mail, each and everyday at this point.
Thanks

Winot,

I mailed mine off Oct. 28th and was told by my local LEO's that it would be near a six week wait from what they have been hearing back from applicants. I am impatient about not receiving mine in the mail yet, but it is good to hear from other individuals on here that there is a backlog due to so many other people applying for their own permits.

I'm not on anybody's a$$.
I simply stated that you may have screwed yourself out of a permit in the future. I also stated that I may be wrong. If you can't handle a discussion go home and don't play here any more!

Hey maybe you guys could continue this more in the Lifetime permits discussion thread. I hate seeing this thread getting off topic, please guys this thread is supposed to be about wait times. There are plenty of other threads to discuss your views and opinions in.

Thanks

I mailed my lifetime license app on Monday, Nov. 10 w/ a return receipt. The return receipt arrived on Thursday or Friday of that same week. I was at the Sheriff's office with 4 other people that day, which the receptionist said was unusual.

Anyway, Ill update when mine shows up.

Mailed it off on the 7th of October. But we mailed my brother and dad at the same time and mine is the only one that has shown up so far.

Just the kind of info I'm seeking.

Thanks a lot. Also Congratulations.

Did you guys really mail it yourself? I live out of town limits and had to go to the Porter County Sheriffs Office, after the paperwork they printed me and gave me a copy of my stuff and said goodbye, I assume they mail it in from there. Nice people working in that office by the way. That was November 13th.

 

[winot]

Yes I just walked from sheriffs office over to post office to mail ours in.

The process for us was: Go to Sheriffs office, pay $50 cash/check for each person.
Then finger printed and background check.

Left Sheriffs office with large envelope addressed to ISP, had to put in a $75 money order(for each of us). Then mailed from our post office.

Only thing in my possesion right now is pink copies of our applications, which the sheriff's office gave us.

Total cost for us was $250($125 for each person).

Hope this helps. I'd say if you haven't paid $125, you have missed a step somewhere. Maybe call where you went in to apply.

 

[Phil502]

No, I paid them and have the money order reciept and a pink copy of my application, the only thing was I think they mailed it for me, did you have to pay postage at the post office or was that on the envelope already?

 

[winot]

paid $1 for each at post office. Sent as: first class large envelope.

Maybe they are nice and just mailed it for you and didn't worry about the postage.

 

[Phil502]

Great now I'll be wondering if they left my stuff in the breakroom behing the coffee cups.

 

[winot]

I'd call them, just to check that everything was done.
