You have to be a resident or have a business/employment in the state to be eligible for a permission slip.
IC-35-47-2-3
Sec. 3. (a) A person desiring a license to carry a handgun shall apply:
(1) to the chief of police or corresponding law enforcement officer of the municipality in which the applicant resides;
(2) if that municipality has no such officer, or if the applicant does not reside in a municipality, to the sheriff of the county in which the applicant resides after the applicant has obtained an application form prescribed by the superintendent; or
(3) if the applicant is a resident of another state and has a regular place of business or employment in Indiana, to the sheriff of the county in which the applicant has a regular place of business or employment.
Now, that covers application only, but I understand that to mean a person must be a resident, or have a business in Indiana, or be employed in Indiana.
