For what it's worth and for all the good it will do, I sent this letter to the ISP this morning. Waiting for a response. Something tells me that my application may fall behind a desk and not be found for quite some time.
I applied for a personal protection License To Carry a Handgun on 04/13/2010 through the offices of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. Your office cashed my money order in the amount of $75.00 on 05/04/2010. What possible explanation is there for the excessive amount of time that it is taking to perform a simple background check and issue the license? I am a U.S.Army veteran and former commissioned officer, so I know my history and that numerous background checks have been done previously. This delay is very detrimental to the credibility of your office and speaks volumes to the lack of efficiency existing within the Indiana State Police organization. I have made several telephone calls to the firearms section and have not received any useful or credible information as to the reason for the delay.My application number is:0129172291 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
