FOID Papers

[Tinner666]

It'll be great when, and if, Ind. gets rid of those things entirely. Is it a northern thing only?
Around here and in many states, once you hit 18 on your DL, you are preumed to have permit, based on age, and preumed armed from that moment on.
Is there any effort underway to get rid of that 'formality?'
Oh, we need to get a permit to conceal, thought there is little limit on what you're carrying.

 

[The Keymaster]

Indiana does not have a FOID. That is Illinois, and that only allows one to purchase and own a firearm, not carry it. In Indiana we have a License To Carry Handgun (LTCH). As far as being able to carry without the LTCH in Indiana, I do not see that happening anytime soon.

Illinois has a FOID (Firearm Owner IDentification card).
Indiana does not have a FOID.

Indiana does have an LTCH (License To Carry Handgun). The LTCH does not specify "concealed" or "open" carry. You can own a handgun in Indiana without an LTCH but there are rules on how it can be transported. The LTCH makes it much easier to transport the handgun and allows concealed carry

Are you kidding? Is someone else posting using your username and playing a prank? Where did you get this information?

Que is in Virginia now,

 

[Tinner666]

Yeah, I got the definitions wrong for sure. I haven't met Q yet, but I expect I will one day. I have jobs lined up in Lynchburg and Harrisonburg.
Or, he'll probably call if he hits RIchmond.

Thank you. I've had a pistol since about 9, so some things I read here and elsewhere are odd/new to me.

I heard at a gunshop that Indiana is discontinuing the Lifetime FOID and you're going to have to start paying an annual fee.

Once again, it's a LICENSE to CARRY a HANDGUN. The lifetime (vs. annual) licenses are still here and not going anywhere.

Something tells me you're new around here.

rosejm,

That tugging sensation you feel is someone yanking your chain.
It takes awhile to sort out when someone is being serious or kidding around here (you'll figure it out).

 

[The Keymaster]

Well...he is right.

Says you. The guys down a the gun show KNOW differently.

 

[Frosty]

Great, another unconstitutional piece of paper to shove in my wallet! I'm suing the state for back problems!


THAT is how you use purple
