They have their application for LTCH, good enough????
Actually, yes, they do. So do people still on probation, convicted of domestic violence, etc. The number one reason for doing so (that I hear) is "my cop buddy said it shouldn't make a difference."Think about it. Would a known felon take the time to fill out the paperwork for an Indiana LTCH? If they have already applied, but do not yet have the LTCH in their hands, I think you would have reason to believe that they are not a prohibited person. Just ask them "Have you ever been convicted of a felony crime?" If they say "NO" then you have done your due diligence, and can sell them the gun.
Ask if you can legally own a gun. Even if they show their LTCH, they may have legally lost the right to carry. If you're like most people you have made copies or scanned your LTCH, and can reproduce them.
I just purchased a Handgun from Midwest and was never asked if I had a LTCH. If fact I did not at that time. I haven't even filed yet. All they did was look at my licenses and made a quick call, $$$ out the door. Gun, Ammo and all.
