LTCH while in the military

[Duron219]

Can someone who is active duty in the military get a LTCH if they are from Indiana, I haven't seen any info about it?

When you are off duty you need a LTCH like any other civilian to carry a handgun.
So yes there is no reason why you cant get one if you are of legal age.

Are you living in Indiana still? If yes then yes. Otherwise if you had one its not valid until you move back or same with getting one, need to live here.
This is information I picked up from this site from someone.
I think if your home of record doesn't change you should still be able to hold a ltch but I'm not a lawmaker.

Thanks for the info everyone, I've been wondering about it for a while.

Someone mistated that to you.

A Servicemember that possesses an LTCH, and is an Indiana Resident, may continue to use the LTCH, as long the State he is Stationed in has Reciprocity with Indiana.

Just remember most installations you cant carry it if you live in the barracks...has to be stored in the armory. If you are in housing you are fine usually but still cant carry on post.

A servicemember isn't treated the same as a normal civilian.

As long as a service member's permanent residence is in IN and he pays state income taxes in IN then he is considered an IN resident no matter where his duty-station is.

Yes, as long as you maintain your residence in Indiana. Just because you are stationed in a state doesn't make you a resident. I kept an Indiana driver's license, license plates, and paid Indiana income taxes the entire time I was in the service. If you do the same, you are definitely still an Indiana resident and can get a LTCH same as if you still physically lived here.

Sorry guys was just going off what I had saw posted by someone on here.
I didn't have my ltch when I was in the service, which I why I said I think it should be how it actually turns out to be.

THIS^^^. question answered.

I had the pleasure of living in the barracks, thus my LTCH was useless on base. Can one get away with hiding a gun in the barracks or on base? I've never seen it but would say probably.... Just alot to risk if caught depending on your chain of command.
