Current LTCH Wait

[Momma1717]

i was checking my status online and my order Id has a zero next to it, I checked my mothers and she has a order id number, does that mean she's been approved?

Can someone please explain what it is the local pd does in the application process? I was under the, perhaps erroneous, impression that they were basically just getting their "cut" and doing fingerprints if you didn't get them done electronically, then passing it on for the "important" things to be done by ISP. I'm asking because is has now been a week and a half and my app still says "waiting local approval". When I click on the little "?" it says "Applicant needs to visit their local law enforcement agency to pay the local fee and have the application transmitted to the Indiana State Police". Just seems like it is taking longer than it should, but I may just be impatient!

Have you visited your local pd? I am in Bedford and I had to make an appointment. Sat down with someone from the pd and they asked if I had any interaction with their department. Paid my fee and he gave me a list of websites about concealed carry and reciprocity. They then send it on to the state police. If you have done your local pd visit then you need to call them and see what is going on.

I would give them a call. Possible somebody didn't push a button and send it on.

So what happens if the local PD denies me bc of a mistake made on my app. Was told he would have approved me but I made a mistake on my app so now he cant approve me. I used mycase.in.gov to check my background history and no cases show up. My assumption was my PI misdemeanor fell off it has been 10 years ago. So I checked no. Honest mistake. I use this website to check all my employees background. I though it was a reliable source. I have documentation to prove nothing shows up. again honest mistake. I know they are gonna check my history so not trying to hide anything just went off the report. When I check it online it states waiting for ISP approval now..

who makes the final decision ISP or Local PD?

Pending ISP Approval is the final step, it goes through local first before ISP looks at it.

So if I was denied locally from what the local police chief said bc of an application mistake. He told me he would have approved me but cant bc of the error. Will ISP look at the app mistake and possible approve? nothing but small misdemeanor for a PI that i did not list from 10 yrs ago. This is my second time i have renewed since then. Or do they just take his word for it?

You will likely be denied, but there is an appeals process. They've really cracked down on the application process, they want you to list everything on your application - misdemeanors, felonies, even juvenile convictions (even if the charges were dismissed or later dropped from what I've heard). The best thing that I can advise, is list everything possible - they know your entire record anyway so when in doubt, put it on the application. I opted for the lifetime this time around so I don't have to go through the renewal process every 4 years anymore.

There's really no point in not getting a lifetime.

 

[Twr11]

so should I appeal if denied, it was an honest. Or just reapply if denied? If so definitely will go lifetime this time around..If denied am I even able to reapply..God I hope over an honest mistake..

First post *yay*

Applied 12/3/15
Finger Printed 12/4/15
Fees paid 12/4/15

Still pending local approval since it is the end of the business day.

Unfortunately, I am part of the "bad boy club"

1 Conviction : Theft; receiving stolen property - Class A Misdemeanor. Happened in 2007 in Marion County.

Due to clerical error, my charge was entered in the system wrong from 2007 to 2013 as Class D Felony - Unauthorized entry of a Motor Vehicle
I found out about the clerical error in October of 2013, and had the original lawyer submit a request to fix the clerical error. Request was granted December of 2013, and now my record reflects just the Class A Misdemeanor for theft.

Hopefully I get approved.

EDIT 1:
Pending ISP approval 12/11/15

EDIT 2:
Approved 1/15/16

Yeah, just appeal if denied and you should be fine for an honest mistake. I don't think they would take it as intentionally attempting to withhold information for an old misdemeanor that would be very easy to slip your mind, but you never know. I'm not completely sure of the appeals process itself, but I had a friend in a similar situation a couple years ago and he was issued a license after the appeal (the process took a while longer though, about 3 months if I recall correctly).

If the appeal doesn't work (or maybe even before you appeal), you may want to consult an attorney that has experience in this area. I'm not really in any position to give legal advice, but I know the state has been cracking down big time on accuracy of the information provided in these applications and I wouldn't want to be the one to "be made an example of", if you know what I mean...

Did you mark this on your application?

Did I mark what on my application?

 

[Twr11]

Did I mark what on my application?

Did u mark yes or no on your charges on your app

 

[egaunnac]

Did u mark yes or no on your charges on your app

I did mark that I had a misdemeanor. I noted it as being a misdemeanor for theft.
I did not mention anything about the clerical error, but I am sure that they can see that.

No point in hiding anything, they see it all anyways.
