...[FONT=&]Effective July 1, 2020 the five year license to carry a handgun (LTCH) will become fee exempt, per IC 35-47-2-4. The five year and lifetime LTCH may be applied for and held concurrently.[/FONT]

This confuses me; if one holds a lifetime LTCH, why would they desire to hold the free 5 year LTCH concurrently? Or am I misinterpreting ?
While it is not currently a NICS-exempt license, it is set up to be (so whenever ATF figures it out...)...
...is it also thought that it would only be the new 5 year free LTCH?

It is also FREE, as in those licensed to carry handguns (the most law-abiding of folks, per Dr John Lott) are no longer subsidizing Police Departments.
For those of us new to Indiana (just moved here last week) - is this carry licenses the same as the concealed permit, or are those two separate things?
We don't have "concealed carry permits". We have a License To Carry a Handgun. Carry how you want, but you need one no matter what.
5 year is the free one. It was flipped (free lifetime) but coming out of Ways and Means stuff happened.That's kinda the answer I was looking for, I haven't kept up on legislation regarding this, so I now ask. Is it believed if Indiana does finally have at some point a LTCH that is NICS-exempt, is it also thought that it would only be the new 5 year free LTCH?
Duct-taped to the forehead, let’s not get crazy with Scotch or blue painters tape.rhrlaw,
Welcome to the forum!
Here in the Hoosier State at the top of our permission slip is "License to Carry Handgun".
Neither Indiana law nor the license itself makes any delineation as to how you can carry.
Open, concealed, taped to your forehead, it doesn't matter.
The license allows any kind of handgun carry, open or concealed.
Welcome to the great state of Indiana!Ty! I still have to get my driver's license, so by the time I get around the the permit it should be fee free.

The only fee for the five year licence is the fingerprints. https://www.in.gov/isp/3065.htmDoes free really mean free? IIRC, when I got my lifetime license, I had to pay the local Sherriff's office for their part, and the state for their part. Is it just the state that is not charging for this? If so, you will still have to pay the local sherriff whatever they charge.
