About a thousand people die a week in Indiana. I wonder how many of those 4000 a week are renewals.

6.5 million people in Indiana, 56k die a year.

Not to take away from it, I think more people should be armed, just a slow rise over normal.

Let's take a conservative 2000 new licenses issued a week, or 100k/year. At that rate it would take 60 years to have the entire state population (as it exists) have a license.

No real point to this post, I just tend to analyze numbers to put them in context.

It would take as longas you figured since there are so many people that can't stay out of trouble lol. Thank The Lord they are not a loud to have a LEGAL gun

So, um what was it before? 42? 1,000? 3, 999?

Wouldn't the percentage of increase be more important than raw numbers?

Ha, I'll pass this on to my good buddy that is anxiously awaiting for his in the mail.

He used L1 and it's been over 2 weeks now...He was starting to get worried.

I got mine back in 2007 or something like that and I had to wait 6 weeks then, so 7 weeks is that bad of an increase. Look at FFA's its gone from 6 to min 8 months.

I got mine in just under 7 weeks just last fall. I thought it would have taken longer.

My wife applied for hers on Dec. 12 and did L1 on Dec. 19, still haven't gotten it...

I do believe that this is well beyond the 60 day limit required by law.

"State Police are seeing as many as 4,000 permit requests each week, about three times the number they handled this time last year."

I did L1 a couple of years ago and it took a couple of weeks.
