Indiana Handgun permit

[ArevaloSocom]

Why do some people take it upon themsleves to insist on seeing yours for a FTF transaction regardless if it is a handgun or long gun?

To make sure your a proper person. License, not permit.

Because it's their choice to do so. It helps give some who don't know you piece of mind that you are a "proper person".

^^^ Bingo.

 

[ModernGunner]

I dunno. Maybe to insure themself that you've at least been 'vetted' in some form or fashion?

Just me, but I don't sell firearms to anyone I've not personally known for years, and not even to some of them!

Just curious, but why would this ever be a problem? Maybe I'm not fully understanding the issue (?). -Hex

Because you aren't require to do so.....so why bother? I have bought and sold plenty of guns FTF and I have only seen it on the forum so I was wondering if it was a rule here but then noticed not all people do it, so just trying to understand the mindset.

ETA: I had multiple felonies pending on me and had my permit for about a year during the course of it.........could have bought anything I wanted FTF from people that "check" and it wouldn't have prevented any transaction, except from a FFL. I remmber LOL'ing when all charged were dropped and a few months after that Indiana State Police sent a letter asking for the permit back.....

Because a LTCH isn't required to purchase or own firearms, whether pistol or rifle.

I would suggest that if you aren't comfortable with the requirements of the seller (be it price, bill-of-sale, LTCH, etc.) simply make your purchase elsewhere.

Agreed. This is what I do.

I see. I just recently got my LTCH, but can't recall anyone asking if I had one at the time of purchase before; they just ran my info. I guess if they asked to see it, I wouldn't mind if it made for a smoother transaction. Do you think the LGS folks attitude changes regarding license holders vs non-license holders?

They're referring to F-T-F (Face-To-Face) transactions. Private sales.

As far as I can tell it makes no difference.

He's talking about private sales, not FFL transactions.

Because they are trying to be good citizens and not arm prohibited persons and stay out of BoP and IDoC at the same time.

Oh, well, obviously there was something I wasn't getting. My mistake. If I were selling a firearm, seeing a LTCH would certainly put my mind at ease as the seller.
(and thanks for clarifying for me, Chezuki.)
