Renewing Permit Rant

[HamYankee]

I looked down and saw my 4 year permit had expired a few days ago. I am applying for the lifetime permit and all I need to do is pay more taxes/fees to the local PD. I really don't like that I had to pay $75 online, take 30 minutes off work early to drive and get finger printed, then I need to budget another $50 and time to pay at the PD. After all that, I cannot resume my normal lifestyle of carrying.

It just really bugs me. I think I can compare in my mind to the state licensing an individual to not talk about certain subject outside the home, unless they pay taxes to do so and, even then, have restrictions in place.

That's my rant...

Not a bad rant, bright side is you will have the lifetime
now and not have to go through this again!

 

[HamYankee]

Thanks. Yes, looking forward to the lifetime. Might also look in to ID non-resident in the future.

Think of in terms of lifetime to carry in Ohio and perhaps feel slightly better..or not.

 

[HamYankee]

I read they might be improving things there, but I'm not certain.
Oh yeah, there are much worse states by a long shot. I like IN, but would like a few barriers removed.

"IC 35-47-2-6*Granting or rejecting initial application; renewals
Sec. 6. ...
(b) The period during which an application for the renewal of an existing license may be filed begins three hundred sixty-five (365) days before the expiration of the existing license. If the application for renewal of an existing license is filed within thirty (30) days of its expiration, the existing license is automatically extended until the application for renewal is passed upon.

Just to be clear, you can still carry on your expired permit if you've sent the renewal in within 30 days of the expiration date.

What is this "permit" thing you speak of? Indiana has a License to Carry a Handgun or LTCH.

People need to stop being so sensitive to people for saying permit/license. Yes license is the correct term but the definition of license is to permit or give permission so technically permit is still correct at least in describing it.

From google:

Permit:
1. give authorization or consent to (someone) to do something.

License:
1. a permit from an authority to own or use something, do a particular thing, or carry on a trade


Anyways, as stated earlier the OP is still legal to carry since the renewal process has begun. However, I would not carry out of state while expired.

I guess I don't see the difference in terminology. I am paying a tax and have to apply to exercise my right.

Good post. I am carrying again.

Make sure and top off your clips.

Mine won't expire for a few months so I only had to pay $60 to the state and $40 locally. Still sucks though.

Make sure and top off your clips.

Instigator!

Make sure and top off your clips.

I see what you did there. +1.

Now I'm pissed. Noblesville PD won't accept my cashiers check for 7-10 days (I'll just have to call back) until a background check is done. Then I can find the time to go back, pay, and wait some more.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

There's a bill that was introduced in the house this year that would have eliminated the need for all of this consternation. (at least if you wanted to carry in Indiana). Too bad it never got the traction it needed to be heard in committee. I don't know if it's too late to breath life into it for this session or not.

Is the 30 day period BEFORE your license exprires or AFTER? OP stated his was already expired when he started the application process for the lifetime. Luckily I opted for the Lifer license and won't have to worry about it again.

I didn't even have to go to my local PD, I just paid it all at the sheriffs office where I got my e prints done. Is that an option OP?

For me PERSONALLY...no one else's usage, but for my own personal determination for MY OWN license (understood? I'm not giving legal advice.)

I would read that as "within 30 days of its expiration", which, without more, means to ME, that it is 30 days before or after the expiration.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

UT Non-res CFP Renewal Comparison:
1. Fill out online form and upload a new picture.
2. Pay with credit card.
3. Get new permit (that's what UT calls it) in mail 7 days later.

The sheriffs office does it easy and fast, but they said I'm in Noblesville jurisdiction, so I must go through the PD and wait up to 10 days before I can leave work early to pay my fee.
