I have bought a lot of guns I have never showed my LTCH

 

[Walt_Jabsco]

No, not exactly part of the LTCH screening process. The NICS check is a federal entity, LTCH is all state. Moreover, it's entirely possible you've gone on, say, a string of bank robberies since acquiring your LTCH and are a wanted fugitive.

Here. I found these. I think you lost them.

Also, you don't need a LTCH to purchase a gun, so you don't need to show it.

Yep, nothing but a drivers license....

I am never asked for my LTCH when purchasing firearms. You do not need a LTCH to purchase a firearm just to carry it. They have to call in a NICS check every time though.

Feds do not think that ISP check is good enough, so you have to do the NICS check.

I think (could be wrong) 20 years ago or so, if you had your ltch, they didn't need to run a check when you bought a gun.

Your piece of paper (LTCH) could still exist physically, and yet you may have committed a felony or that LTCH could have been revoked for some reason. No way for a retailer to know that, so you are checked out.

As others have also pointed out, it's possible to purchase w/o a LTCH. I think you're saying that your LTCH should make so that you don't have to go through the check. But all it is a piece of paper that says, at one time, the state of Indiana checked you out.
