Need help and information for a pretty specific situation

[kwood]

Here is my scenario...
i am in the Indiana National Guard and am currently PCS'ed to Ft Rucker for the next year or so for training.
Now the house my wife and I lived in prior to PCS'ing was a rental and we no longer maintain a lease to that property.
My question is this, while I am down here at Ft Rucker, How do I maintain my Indiana LTCH without an address back home in Indy so I can carry legally down here?

p.s. I have a Utah license as well

What is your home of record?

You don't need to do anything to maintain your lifetime LTCH. I mean, don't die or get convicted of a felony, those might be problems.

well i guess it would be my on post housing for the time being, but all my licensing is addressed to my old house in indiana that we used to rent

IANAL but without an indiana residence that you officially call home (even when deployed) your licence is inactive since you are no longer a resident. Its not revoked, just not valid for you to carry (and therefore get reciprocity) since you are no longer a resident of the state and therefore a resident permit doesnt apply to you. Notify the ISP of your address change to Ft Rucker ASAP. Indiana law requires this notice. They will "inactivate" your license. As soon as you get an address back here in IN, Notify them of the new IN address and it is active again.

ETA: And without an Indiana LTCH your Utah is no longer valid either.

awesome this is what i needed to know.
also in regards to Utah, I took the class and everything for that, can i not just call them and change the address?

In order for the Utah permit to be valid you first have to possess a valid license from your state of legal residence I believe. You should call them and ask.

Military duty station never used to impact one's home state of residence, unless something has changed.

since i dont have a home any longer back in Indiana (until i return and purchase a house), I was worried that I may not be considered a resident any longer in the terms of my LTCH

This. You are not a permanent resident of the state you are stationed in. Indiana would stay your home of record. My whole time in the Navy my home of record was Indiana. Even while stationed overseas for 2 years I still voted in Indiana.

would i still use my previous rental address?

If that's the last place you lived before being assigned an out of state duty station, sure. When you return and get a new place, make sure to inform ISP of your new Indiana address.

I wouldn't think so. When I was in my home of record was my parents address since that's where I lived when I joined. Do you have family in Indiana that you could use a stout home of record in Indiana?

 

[kwood]

Nope, my wife and I moved out here when we got married

It's not like they're gonna send you any new mail, you already got the LTCH.

 

[Hogwylde]

Do you pay Indiana state taxes? Do you still have an Indiana drivers license? Is your vehicle still registered in Indiana and you pay state excise taxes on it when you register your vehicle? If so, then you are still an Indiana resident. Just because you PCS'd to an out of state duty station has doesn't mean your not an Indiana resident anymore.

That being said.....I have no idea what happens when you notify the State Police of your new address as required for your LTCH.

Is it two disqualification for the price of one if you are convicted of being dead?

True, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything i can to make sure I don't carry illegally down here

You can in some way apply this to your situation... With college students who may infect live 9 months of the year out of Indiana but still possess an Indiana drivers license and call Indiana home are good to go even if they are living in another state for school. The catch to that is that they can still/ are still receiving their mail at mom and dad's house. You may make a call to ISP. Or something and ask, but if you are still a Indiana resident living out of the state you should be ok. However you may or may not need to find a residence you may claim/be able to receive mail at... Again like CameraMonkey IANAL but seems to be about the same and it works this way for a friend of mine who works out of state at the moment and is in Indiana maybe once a month or so.
