In ft Wayne after you were approved you had to take in 2 first class Stamps to mail the App to ISP.
Yup, for many years the government kept it a secret that the ONLY valid reason to obtain a carry permit was for personal protection. They did not consider protecting property a valid reason. (can't shoot anyone unless you or another person is in eminent danger). I have never put anything on my application except "for personal protection) and have never had any issue.
I resided in Northern Indiana when the lawsuits were filed by businessmen (two as I remember) that sued the county due to being rejected by the county for their permits and then being robbed and injured. They won the lawsuit and the media made it clear that any other rejections in other areas of Indiana were open to lawsuits if they denied a carry license to eligible citizens. That was the beginning of the rush to obtain LTCH's in Indiana. Many were rejected due to statements as to the cause they desired the permits being that they carried large sums of money in "dangerous" areas. Then the newspapers carried the information that the only valid reason was for personal protection of yourself or others.
I got mine in Indy back in the early 2000s. I'm not nearly as old as a lot of y'all.
But mine still had to be typed. I had a bail bond office type mine up. They actually stepped outside and asked "need that typed?" based on the tell-tale colors of the applications. I gladly paid them the $2/page to do it.
They told me to be sure to keep them in mind should I ever need their services in the future. I said "Respectfully, I hope I never see you again".

My first app was mid 90s, maybe early 90s.
I had to buy a typewriter.
If I recall, at that time, Kinkos had type writers still in some locations, as did some of the public libraries. Still, I'm very glad they got over that nonsense.
