Thank you for contacting the Indiana State Police Firearms Section. Please see the below information regarding your application for a handgun license.
The ISP Firearms Licensing Section is currently experiencing a higher-than-normal volume of applications. Therefore, applicants should anticipate the following timelines:
If you have any criminal history, your application process will take significantly longer while we verify the disposition of those criminal events. If you do not have a criminal history and our criminal history check indicates that you may have a criminal record, the process will take longer while the Firearms Section Staff verifies that the criminal history does not belong to you.
