1989 0r 1990 for me.
Had to write 3 reasons why you needed a LTCH on the back of the App. if I remember correctly.

88 or 89 for me and like you had to write 3 reasons why you thought you needed a license. Thought it was a bunch of rubbish.

Late sixties. I remember I had to write a letter to ISP and tell them why I thought I needed to carry a handgun.

Do you guys remember what the reasons you gave? (Just curious as to what they considered to be "good enough" reason).

1980 Had to do the letter thing all so. To protect my self and family in my daily routine.

1988. I guess I am just a young pup!

Probably ATM, he's like 800+ years.
I think back then you didn't needed one to carry.

 

[Cowboy1629]

I've had one since 1982 when I got out of the military.

Have had mine for about 10 days over a year.

Since I was born

 

[Dave Doehrman]

Got out of the service in 1969 and started working part time in a small gun shop up in LaOtto. Got my LTCH back then. Had to write a letter stating why I wanted one, but the local Chief of Police in Churubusco knew me and there wasn't any problem. I've kept mine ever since.

 

[Sylvain]

Since I was born

Yeah that should be all it's needed.
Too bad you need a note from the State saying you're allowed.

 

[NHT3]

I believe I've had one since 72 or 73 when I had an FFL out of my home.

Or hope it stands up in court if you are ever caught.

82-83 era.

 

[DanVoils]

Got my first one in July of 1978. One month after my 18th birthday. It was a carry permit not a hunting one.

 

[sharpetop]

85' when I moved back to Indiana. I've been carrying since '75.

[I thought I was old until I started reading these posts. Some of you ARE old farts.] I was actually surprised at the number of older members. [That's a good thing!]

As per the C.O.P.-
#1 was for the protection of myself and family
#2 (I believe) was carrying large amounts of money
#3 (I believe) was either traveling or traveling at night For work
#1 I know for sure, but the other two I can't remember for sure.

I would guess 85 or so. I remember the thumbprint on the license. I also remember having to explain why i needed one. I always put that my job kept me out after dark, sometimes in bad areas, and carried large sums of money. Then I always added, to exercise my second amendment right to keep and bear arms.

You could also have said "Reason: see address (USA).

 

[Lagrange]

Yeah...I remember the thumb print and the letter of explaination.

Does anyone know when the state started issuing carry permits?
