Bill, dont forget other hoops that we had to jump through, it wasnt just Evansville and Terrible Haute. Back in the 90s, Sheriff Anderson (thank God he's gone) would require that all applications in Marion County be typewritten. His office attached a special instruction sheet giving details on exactly how to fill out the forms, and his workers would take a sharpie and black out "or neatly printed" everywhere on the form. So it only said "typewritten".
Apparently if you werent smart enough to locate a typewriter, you werent smart enough to ask permission to carry a gun in Marion County. During a visit to the ISP office in the State office building to change my address one day, I asked the ISP lady why they (ISP) did that. Her response was "Ask Sheriff Anderson. Marion county is the only county with that requirement, see!" (as she held up an obviously handwritten multipart app from her desk across the room)
But Thats not a dig on any current LEOs here. That was a jackwagon that really didnt want just anyone carrying.
