Who has had a LTCH license the longest

[Lagrange]

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.

Got you beat by a year or so, 1984. I've met a few members who beat that by many years.

Don't have a copy, but it was a very thin piece of paper, a little thicker than tissue paper. It also had a space for you thumbprint.

Ha! I've had a LTCH for almost four years now. Started carrying in July of 2009.

You guys have had yours as long as I have been alive

Don't need you to make me feel old. Grey hair and sore joints provide that reminder daily

I think around 1980. I would have to check my files.

I had to reference the DeBard decision on the form and had to take my attorney to the gun desk to get the LEO there even give me the application.

Nice!

Wow. I had the Highland police chief suggest to me to come in to get mine. I was in business and he told me I needed one, set up an appointment for me and took care of everything.

I first got mine in 1980, when I moved back to Indiana from Louisiana.

My how things have changed. At least for the better this time.

Got mine for the first time in 1993. The sheriff took care of it personally. I remember needing to give a reason for having the license. Called a personal protection permit if I remember correctly.

November of 1981. My dad drove me to the sheriffs office on my birthday.

Hmm probably '79.
Although I didn't carry full time then.
I have had my license off and on since I moved out of state for a 3 years or so, but pretty much continuous while I lived here.
Come to think of it I was only gone for 3 years and it probably didn't lapse long before I moved back and renewed it again.

Don't remember when I got my first one - I had almost forget about the thumbprint - think I went to the local police station to "apply" my print on my first one, after that just spread some ink at home.

Started carrying in 1979. Found it a couple of years ago in an old wallet photo holder. It was pretty beat up because I did not get it laminated. I had to pull it out and show it to LEO quite a few times so the in / out process took it's toll on it. I guess I should have kept it.

Late sixties. I remember I had to write a letter to ISP and tell them why I thought I needed to carry a handgun.
