And if you license expires before you get the renewal back, your copy of the renewal acts as license.
Is this true if your license did expire before you went in for the renewal?
And if you license expires before you get the renewal back, your copy of the renewal acts as license.
I hear this alot, but as far as I know, there is no state statute that says this.
Indiana Handgun Law says if you submit your application for renewal within 30 days of expiration, your License is automatically extended until application is decided by the Superintendent. There is no footnote, but I'm trying to determine where he got that information.
edit: found it.
IC 35-47-2-6
Granting or rejecting initial application; renewals
Sec. 6. (a) Every initial application for any license under this chapter shall be granted or rejected within sixty (60) days after the application is filed.
(b) The period during which an application for the renewal of an existing license may be filed begins one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the existing license. If the application for renewal of an existing license is filed within thirty (30) days of its expiration, the existing license is automatically extended until the application for renewal is passed upon.
As added by P.L.311-1983, SEC.32. Amended by P.L.190-2006, SEC.4.
That is odd within 30 days only, when the request is taking over 30 days. So if you submit 45 days early, you could be 8-9 weeks to get the renewal or half a month without an LTCH.
