1979, Thumbprint & letter. Wow, that was a long time ago...............

 

[dingodog]

Since 1990 here

 

[opus1776]

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

Does anyone know when the state started issuing carry permits?

I believe it was in the 1930's, but it was not until the 70's when it was easier to get.... Kirk would know the exact details, I'm going off memory...

Early 90's for me. I remember the large pink paper, (fold in half, twice) fingerprint in lower right corner I believe, and yes, the questions of "why" you need a LTCH.

How long have you had a LTCH?

I have been carrying since 1985 / 86.

Does anyone have a copy of one of the earliest licenses???
Just curious what they looked like.

I got mine in 1979 or 1980. I actually came across is a few years ago, and figured I might as well through it away. I wish I still had it though, as I seem to remember that it specified concealed carry.

1999. Age 23. Through IU-Bloomington Campus Police. In hindsight I'm not sure I would have had to do that, but the BPD person I spoke to informed me that because I was a student (it's what I stupidly revealed as my "occupation" when asked), I would have to get campus police to sign off on it.

The only significant difference between then and now is that a lifetime option wasn't available then and the question of mental health was far less intrusive and more on-point (adjudicated mentally ill instead of simply being in the care of an M.D. for mental/mood disorders).

The gal at the copy store wouldn't allow us to make copies either.

1999. Age 23.

Ooooh! I'm about to apply for mine and I'm 23 now. Although I think you've got me beat by about 13 years.
