I vaguely recall the City of Gary once doing shenanigans of making the permits difficult-to-impossible to obtain and it caught the attention of the NRA and the state. Could it be Sheriff Frankie's minions are letting the permits languish before forwarding them to the State? What county did you apply for your permit?

I applied recently for a lifetime license. I called this past Friday (roughly 76 days after the fact), and was told the backlog on permits was 8-10 weeks. This is ridiculous. Per the Indiana statute, an answer on applications is to be recieved within 60 days. I assume it it designed this way to both promote efficiency and to give citizens of the State a relatively quick answer. Agree with the law or not, it is still the law, and it should be followed accordingly. Perhaps if someone could dig, we could get answers as to why the Sheriff's department or IPD is allowed to ignore a state mandated law? Since Indiana was the first state in the Union to allow for such permits, this story could be of at least local interest - especially with the apparent increase in the amount of violent crimes being committed in Indianapolis/Marion County. Abdul,
