New to Indiana, looking to get permit

[softail08]

I just moved to Indiana from Illinois, and am looking to get my concealed carry permit. I am aware of all of the steps involved, but on the application it says that you need to state if you have ever been convicted of a DUI. About 6 years ago in Illinois I was, paid my fees, completed all of the courses, and should technically be off my records (stupid college mistake that I am obviously still regretting). My question is should I not even bother trying to get a permit with this conviction? I got my Illinois FOID card after my conviction without any problem. I have looked through the laws for concealed carry in Indiana and nothing is specifically called out for previous DUI convictions except having to state them on the application form. Anyone have some inside information or previous experience that can help me out?

If it wasn't a felony, you're fine, and it looks like it wasn't.

BTW, Indiana does not offer a Concealed Carry Permit they offer a License to Carry A Handgun. The state does not regulate whether you carry openly or concealed. This is a widely discussed topic and I am sure you will find plenty to read on the issue.

Welcome to INGO.

Welcome to the forum. I too had a DUI in the past. I had a LTCH at the time but was not carrying.

It has never affected my LTCH, go ahead and apply. One DUI will not disqualify you.

Like others have said, the DUI shouldn't be a problem as long as it wasn't a felony just expect a 10-12 week wait before receiving your LTCH. Welcome to Indiana and INGO.

If it was your 1st DUI, you paid for classes, completed everything, it was likely reduced to a misdemeanor.

Holy crap-I wonder why it popped up for me in the new posts feed? I didn't check the date, and to be honest, I don't check. I was just killing time before a meeting.

Wonder if he got his license maybe he waited for constitutional carry

Jeez… I thought I’d had a stroke or something.
Then I thought wait… has this just been a bad dream and I’m finally waking up?
I then realized that I was staring at my iPhone 13… hey… wait a minute! I didn’t have an iPhone in 2009! I started looking for my old flip phone!!!
Then I realized… oh, just some goofball necroposted.

Dude!!! Don’t do that… you’ll give me a myocardial infarction!
A “Heart attack” for those of you in Reo Linda!

Congratulations on moving from the loser of a State Illinois to the enlightened State of Indiana regarding the 2nd Amendment. Go ahead and get the Lifetime LTCH and enjoy the freedom. Hell, I moved here from the draconian State of New Jersey over 17 years ago and never looked back. I am still amazed after all these years that I got an LTCH shortly after moving here after a lifetime in NJ.
