My wife is in residence in Indiana, she is a permenant resident alien w/green card. And no convictions. If I understand the guidelines that are listed she should be able to recieve a license.
Thank you for the help!
First of all, there is no "permit" or "CCW" in Indiana.
We have an Indiana License to Carry Handgun. Anyone who is a legal resident of Indiana, 18 or older, and who is not disqualified because of a criminal record or adjudication of mental illness can get one.
If you have a license or permit from your home state or country, it is valid here in Indiana until you establish residency. Then you can get your Indiana License.
You just have to be a resident of Indiana who is legally in the country (as the previous poster noted). US citizenship is not a requirement.

You do not have to be a resident either. If you are here on business, perhaps for a sales territory postion, you can apply in the area or region of your choosing, and recieve a LTCH. The 4 year is available, the lifetime is not. My father recieved his last year specifically for this purpose.

(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.
The superintendent and local law enforcement agencies shall allow an applicant desiring to obtain or renew a license to carry a handgun to submit an application electronically under this chapter if funds are available to establish and maintain an electronic application system.
Not quite, according to the IN code you must have a regular place of employment in IN. And you have to apply at the sheriff of the county where the regular place of employment is located. So if the place your a sales rep for has a place of business here in IN you would probably qualify, but you would have to apply at the sheriff in the county it is located at.
Nope, not an actual address needed. He turned in 3 letters from the manufacturers of product he reps and sells. No place of business in Hamilton county, he applied here becaus it was convenient. The nice lady that fingerprinted him attached the letters as proof that he has business within state lines. 9 weeks later, the slip was in the mail.

It states a regular place of business or employment, and that they must apply in the county where it is at. I don't agree with IC on this because I don't think you should need a ltch to carry, but the law is the law.IC 35-47-2-3

Perhaps you should be quiet about your dad slipping through the cracks before he gets noticed? Or at least talk to him about it first.
