It finally arrived! I applied back on April 1st and I received it on October 22nd. I did the lifetime license and had the electronic fingerprinting done. I went to Staples this evening and had two pink copies made and laminated. It was a long wait but I'm so glad it's over!
according to the indiana state police website fire arms division ( ISP: Contact Us ) it is taking up to 14 weeks if you filed electronically, and 22 weeks if you filed paper. It has been 38 weeks for me. when i called western union they said my money order had been cashed on nov 28th, 2012. still nothing. they wont help or give any info at my local law enforcement office, or at the local state police post. when i call the main office at indy, no one ever answers the phone most of the time. when they do, the just give me a run around, and transfer me from office to office till the call gets disconnected. I tried the email address they posted on the website for getting a status check 3 times, never got an answer back. now if you look at the website the email address is gone and it says DO NOT ask for status checks. when i did manage to talk to some one on the phone, they never even asked who i was, just told me if i had any criminal history it could take an additional 6 to 8 weeks (way passed time for that as well). I do have a history but minor misdemeanors. 2 accounts of bad checks from when i was a teenager. i know people that had applied a couple months after i did that also had a criminal background, that have received there license 2 and 3 months ago. so what gives here? does anyone have any clue who i can contact, what i can do to find out what the hell is going on here? im getting to the point i dont even want the thing any more. i just want my money back. Hell, i even tried writing a letter to the state governor (not that i figured it would do any good, just thought i would try every thing) and never heard back from him. Any helpful suggestions here would be appreciated.
*** EDIT ***
I was reading some more of hte MANY posts in this thread and saw someone recommended contacting local senators and reps, because people who do this supposedly get there LTCH issued shortly there after, so just emailed the sennetor from my district (thank god hes a republican) so lets see if this does any thing. Any other advice would still be much appriciated.
Dont I get some kind of reward for having the state record for the longest wait ?
I had one other question, when i was on the phone with her, she gave me the number off my license - can i carry as long as i have that number to give to an officer , or do I have to have the physical document on me?
What is the longest wait?
I went out to the mailbox this afternoon after work expecting to find an Indystar sized clump of junk ads and some bills, but there it was..... A white envelope with pink paper inside!
Local fee paid on 5/6
Received license 10/25

I applied in mid August for lifetime with L1 via credit card. Haven't see it yet. Anyone have a number to call?
I'm totally shocked at how quickly I got my LTCH. I did all of my app stuff on 10/21 afternoon (~4pm) and I got my license today, 10/25. The actual license says it was issued on 10/23, and the envelope was postmarked on 10/24. If I did everything on 10/21 morning I probably would have gotten it yesterday. That is crazy compared to my old licensing process.
I moved here from MI a few months back. I had a concealed pistol license there which cost $105/4 years and I had to take an 8-hour course ($140) + 1 hour range time to get the completion certificate. To add to that, it took a full 90 days to get my permit. I had to renew it last summer and that cost me another $130 I think, but the wait was slightly shorter (~60 days).
I paid the fees and got finger printed for my LTCH on Monday and was thrilled to find it in my mailbox today!
