LTCH Interview Questions?

[dominicandemon]

What kind of questions do they ask? I guess they randomly pick people?

I am getting my fingerprints taken tomorrow. Thanks for any input.

I have no idea what you are talking about. There are no standardized LTCH interviews. Maybe your local PD or SO has questions they ask folks, but that is not an official part of the process. Where are you located?

According to the Indiana Code, there should be no interview for the process of applying for an LTCH.

Might want to remind them of that.

There is no interview required for the LTCH in Indiana.

There is no provision in the law that allows them to question you prior to issuing an LTCH. At best, it comes under the CLEO sign-off for "a proper person", but that really means "has no record".

 

[dominicandemon]

Cool, thanks for the quick answers. Maybe I read something about it.

Thanks.

i just interviewed with the police chief and he just verified the info on my app and took my 10.00 and my fingerprints no fuss at all

A bit of history.
When I got my first CCW permit back in 1984, there was a place on the application that asked you to list your reason for applying.

A lot of people in those days made the mistake of going into a long winded line of excuses, when all they had to say was "I require it for personal protection", and just leaving it at that.

There was an Indiana Court case, Schubert vs DeBard from about 1980 or so that concluded asking for more of a reason than simply for personal protection was unconstitutional.

That's all ancient history, and in the years since, I've never been interviewed or asked questions about why I need it.

The only thing my local PD did was go over the app and make sure all the answers were done correctly.

Interview???

When our Town first incorporated, I had to start going to the Police Chief(Instead of the Sheriff's Dept.) and our only discussion was to degrade the caliber/make of weapon that he was carrying-Glock 17!! Well--they HAVE upgraded-Glock 21's now....

 

[mcolford]

Yeah... No interview here either. Granted Im joining the Reserve program, so they encouraged my LTCH, but at any rate it doesnt matter. You pay money, they submit paperwork, you get LTCH, everyone wins.

"Because a BS and unconstitutional law requires me to apply for a permit."

 

[red_zr24x4]

They run your name to make sure you're a proper person. If anything comes back they will ask you what it involved, that's about it

No interview here. Actually never even saw the CLEO. Went in, paid got fingerprinted, came back, picked up paperwork, went to post office mailed to ISP, 8 weeks later pink paper arrived....

Same here.

I had read on another site that we would get interviewed by the town sheriff when applying, so I was ready. But it never happened. In & out maybe 10 min.

 

[dominicandemon]

Thanks for all the feedback. I get the L-1 fingerprints today and hopefully I can make it to downtown on Friday.

I was interviewed when I got my LTCH. Had a meeting with the Police chief. I went in got my prints taken and we sat down and he said that it was my right to have a carry permit and he just wanted to make sure that I knew how to be safe with a firearm since he would be putting his signature on the application. I told him that I was a hunter and continued to explain that I had been around guns all my life but he stopped me before I could even finish and that was that. Not too much trouble really, I didn't mind.

I was interviewed by the Carmel Chief of Police when applying for my LTCH. It was actually a very enjoyable experience. He really just asked me about my knowledge and familiarity with guns.

"Reason for Applying: Zombie attack prevention and response"?

That's who mine was with as well.
