Current LTCH Wait

[jlin]

I filed my online application on 10/7, got fingerprinted at L-1 off of Keystone Ave on 10/9, and finished up my local paperwork/payment downtown on 10/11 (Columbus Day). My LTCH (lifetime personal protect, no prior license) was issued 10/18 and arrived in the mail today, 10/20. L-1 is definitely worth it for the minimal additional cost ($11).

While completing my application downtown, the officer who took my paperwork (and thumb/index fingerprints) told me L-1 had filed my application as priority rush.

Applied online and did the L1 thing on the 14th and visited the county sheriff on the 15th and the pink LTCH arrived today the 21st. It was issued on the 19th.
As others have said it was worth the extra few dollars going the L1 route.

I applied on October 20th the old-fashioned way down at my city police station, they told me 12-14 weeks, so we'll see!

Hello,

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW!!! Use the L1 Method. It took me 8 days to get my lifetime permit. I filed last Monday and just got it today (Tuesday). Easy process! Filled out online application, went to L1 paid some money, then went to the City County building with a blank check filled out some paperwork saying I am sane, and now I am legal. Carried my gun in my car to get the thing laminated at the local UPS store!


Thanks,
Matthew

Phew!!! 11 weeks!

Got it!

Applied online on/about July 14th, I think, but didn't get downtown to pay the bribe and do the prints until August 11th. The gal who did my prints (a cheerful, uber-competent, slight-of-build gal maybe 55-60 y.o.) said 12 weeks.

Yesterday was the 11th week.

Would've been nice to have before the gun show, but too, it probably saved me a boatload of money.

Oh, and I didn't mention -- I'd been up at my sweetie's place NE of Fortville for most of the colder months, and only recently moved back to Irvington (Indy's east side), to rehab the ol' place for the two of us..... Not being able to carry legally was a huge weight -- I have had "reason to show" three times in the past 5 years, and two were in my own driveway. I feel a lot better, and a lot less irresponsible, now that security is "in hand."

Applied Madison County (Not a L1 county ) Aug 6 recieved in mail today Oct 28.

Off to staples tomarrow to photocopy with 93% reduction and then to TSG to laminate them all.

I applied on 9-24 in clay county, I guess I have a while before I will recieve it. Seems like a long time to me.

 

[wabash]

My girlfriend applied for her Lifetime LTCH on Monday, Oct. 25th.
She used the L1 fingerprinting and filed online. Visited local PD on same day (Marion County). She said the process couldn't have been any easier.
Applied: 10/25/10
Issued: 10/27/10
Received: 10/29/10

Exactly 4 days!!! I swear by this new L1 thing they got goin' on. Well worth the extra 10 bucks and some change.

 

[coda80]

l1 is great. just got mine yesterday and it took exactly 5 days.

 

[Irish1218]

Just completed the online app and scheduled an appointment at L-1 for tomorrow morning then on to the City County building. Will let you all know how long it takes for the paper to arrive.

Applied for mine in mid August and have yet to recieve it by November so it can take awhile.

[woowoo2]

Eight days for me using L-1

 

[Irish1218]

Did L1 and IMPD on Monday and the pink paper arrived here today on Saturday!! The driving and the $10.95 for L1 was definitely worth it to speed up the process.
