Gun permits

[jeremyc46158]

I am a little confused on this subject. I was told that in 2011, that if you are obtaining or going to obtain a carry permit that you have to take classes no matter what age you are. Now this is where i get confused. One of my buddies just got his carry permit on March 31st of 2012 of this year and he told me that he did not have to take classes. Can anybody help me with this.

I don't believe any classes or training are required in Indiana.
Check the code to be sure though.
This is the best simple explantion I've found

Depends on the state of residence. Where does the person live who told you that? Where do you live? Where does your buddy live? In IN, no classes are required.

He lives in Beach Grove, Indiana, and i live in Mooresville, Indiana. Thanks guys.

In Indiana its as simple as a finger print check, backround check, pay your money and if you pass its yours. If do electronically you can have yours in as few as 4 days. The wife and I did ours the Monday of Thanksgiving week 2011 and had it that Friday, not bad service considering the holiday. I would also recommend getting the life time permit, only a little more and well worth the money.

P>S> if you get one find someone with a color copier ( the liscense is pink ) and make several copies to lamanate so you have an exytra in case you loose it , and can keep a copy in all you cars.

Good idea thanks

I think you are confusing a hunting license with a License to Carry Handguns. You do require a safety course if you were born after 1986, in order to get a hunting license. Nothing is required except the application and fee to get a LTCH.

Jeremyc46158... No "training" required for obtaining you LTCH.

Yep, as mentioned already no classes. I have heard of some police chiefs and sheriffs wanting to do a face to face and they recommend getting training but once again, not required.

I hate it when a license gets "loose" as they are very hard to catch !
Also, where can I get this "exytra liscence" you speak of?

Then if you want a hunting license, you must first take Hunters Safety course. If you don't hunt then you don't ever need to take it. I took it when I was 12, because it is also accepted for out of state hunts.

We're an odd-ball state. To carry a long-gun in the woods a couple of months out of the year takes a safety course. To carry a handgun nearly everywhere you go year round takes almost nothing.

Not complaining. Just saying.

I used to go hunting all the time but it was on private property i would like to get back into it. Im used to a 12 gauge but i would like to switch it up and start using a rifle.

Here is a website where you can get a conceal carry permit which is good in some 20 odd states, and you have to do no shooting. They even have a video where a lawyer tells how it works.

The website won't post so contact me.

Do scope it out.
