The good ole' LTCH rumor strikes again.

[PlinKing2392]

I heard it again today, that Indiana will stop issuing lifetime LTCH's. This time it was due to the fact that Gov. Daniels will be leaving office soon, and he was the reason for them in the first place. As I have my LTCH it doesn't effect me, but I just wanted to be sure to let everyone know to run out and get one while they still can! (should be purple).


Can anyone, if possible, confirm this? And if not, can we talk about, at least I think, the IN GOV is starting these rumors every few months to boost sales?

Whenever elections change the political landscape over time, there's no telling what the future can bring.

INGO should have a FAQ to address this type question.

Though I don't think he would actively persue it, the 'heir apparent' Pence would let it go away if it meant political points for him.

If a month goes by that I don't hear this rumor, I just mention it casually at the local gun shop.

Wait, INGO has FAQs?

Best I could confirm it was started by a clerk at Howard County Sheriff's Department who thought it would prevent people from seeking the LTCH upgrade early and limiting the work she had to do.

The rumor had an air of validity as people confused the admin rule of IDNR (lifetime hunting license) with a statute (lifetime carry license).

^^ I believe this is the definition of a "politician"

We need less career politicians, and more people with real world successes and business experience.

Could this person also tell me who will win the Super Bowl? As long as we've got access to someone who knows the future, we might make some money off of it!

Also, nothing against Gov. Daniels, but Sen. Jim Tomes might disagree about who was "the reason for them in the first place."

I talked to a buddy in the IN Gov, don't ask me what he does, all I know is he works very closely with the mayoral candidates. Either way, he confirmed, like I thought he would that the lifetime LTCH isn't going anywhere, in fact, he mentioned an addition to the state constitution that gives hoosiers the right to hunt and fish. Is there a need for it, probably not, but I like it either way.

What would Senator Tomes tell us?

Something about Senator Nugent?

Are you saying Senator Tomes introduced the lifetime license? We better alert the boys in the politics section because the Indiana Senate has access to Haliburton's Time Machine!!!

only change I COULD imagine coming...would be for them to issue a photo ID version of it...

Just curious, why is this?

For 75 years we've had no photo. Why now?

Because they can.

So people would no longer be confused over what "facially valid" means, of course!

This is why we can't have nice things.

While Sen. Tomes was not in the Senate at that time, as the voice of 2nd Amendment Patriots, he and his group were instrumental in getting the word out to the legislators to get it passed. This is the majority of the reason that representatives of his group were present when Gov. Daniels signed it.

I know you know all this, Kirk, but others might read your post and think that Jim was not due any credit at all, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Blessings,
Bill

Ah, Mr. Tomes then.

Because they're politicians, why else!!

In order for it to go away it would require a change in the laws. We would be able to see it a mile away, and we would be able to defeat it.
