What to do while waiting on the mail carrier

[rbane3]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I applied for my Indiana ltch and the application has been approved. This approval happened a short time ago, but I have yet to receive my card via mail. I'm guessing the holidays have it delayed a bit.

Since my approval form has the license number, etc is it acceptable to carry with that printed out in the interim?

Thank you for any advice you can offer!

My guess would be no carrying until your license is in hand. At least that is what it always was in the past. The only way to be sure would be asking the ISP Firearms section.

Kinda what I figured but thought I'd check. Haven't found much on this googling. Thank you for your response!

In your situation, you're legally fine to carry. You have a license number to reference, and you are licensed. You aren't required to have it on your person anymore.

Thank you both for your input. I am officially a proper person. The card arrived today (finally). I know things don't end here. More training and listening to the experts needed

Well, since you're in Richmond, IN....what to do while waiting....buy a car at one of the many car lots, go see a movie, or go eat at one of the many franchised restaurants....other than that...there's not much to do there!

They changed the Indiana code a few years ago, it used to state "with LTCH in possession" or similar, now it says without being licensed.

Yep.
