Length of time in Indiana before applying for LTCH

[HD_darla]

I'm sure this has been answered before ( i think i've even asked before) and i did read through the facts (at least as much as my 18 year old mind could stay focused) and i just am still unclear on this... I'm moving from Ohio to Indiana and i want to know how long i need to live in Indiana before i can apply for LTCH. Thanks in advance for all the help and sorry to ask again.

While there may be some general statutory definition of residency (60 days came to mind, but I don't know why), it is not defined in the Indiana Code dealing with the regulation of handguns ( IC 35-47-2)

If there is such a definition codified, surely GunLawyer or one of the other Legal Eagles out there will be able to elucidate.

Residency is established when you take up permanent residence in Indiana as your primary place of residence. This can be as simple as buying your primary home or putting your children in school.

IC 9-13-2-78
Indiana resident
Sec. 78. "Indiana resident" refers to a person who is one (1) of the following:
(1) A person who has been living in Indiana for at least one hundred eighty-three (183) days during a calendar year and who has a legal residence in another state. However, the term does not include a person who has been living in Indiana for any of the following purposes:
(A) Attending a postsecondary educational institution.
(B) Serving on active duty in the armed forces of the United States.
(2) A person who is living in Indiana if the person has no other legal residence.
(3) A person who is registered to vote in Indiana.
(4) A person who has a child enrolled in an elementary or a secondary school located in Indiana.
(5) A person who has more than one-half (1/2) of the person's gross income (as defined in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code) derived from sources in Indiana using the provisions applicable to determining the source of adjusted gross income that are set forth in IC 6-3-2-2. However, a person who is considered a resident under this subdivision is not a resident if the person proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the person is not a resident under subdivisions (1) through (4).
(6) A person who:
(A) is enrolled as a student of a truck driver training school;
(B) has legal residence in another state but is living in Indiana temporarily for the express purpose of taking a course of study from the truck driver training school; and

Make sure to get your Indiana driver's license once you've settled in. You should be good to go after that.
