Used to have a personal protection permit, but let it expire. Haven't owned a handgun in several yrs. My question, if I just want to get a handgun for hunting/plinking/home protection, do you now have to get a CCW or do they stillissue hunting/target permits? I have no interest for carrying concealed, but would like to be able to carry one while hunting. Do they still issue H&T permits, or is it restrictive enough that you might as well get the CC permit? Not really up on the handgun stuff, so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

You might as well get the CCW Lifetime Permit, before they quit offering those as well! Plus, if you have the desire/need to carry a handgun for self protection while bowhunting, you'll need the CCW Permit to do so.

You can still get hunting permits, but you have to go through a lot of the same BS red tape to get either one, so IMO you might as well get the lifetime. It costs more, but as it took four trips to the courthouse and many hours to get mine, I'm glad I don't have to mess with it again.
Also, with a carry permit, you can get in your car and go in the event of a disaster without worrying about the local gestapo arresting you while letting the looters run rampant. Unlikely perhaps, but possible.

The H&T is worthless. Get a Lifetime CCW while you still are "allowed".

Indiana issues a "License to Carry a Handgun" Concealment is not required (not trying to start an OC flame war here). So with a Lifetime Handgun Permit you can just use it for hunting and plinker and not have to CC. As others stated why not get your Lifetime Permit. I wish I would have gotten the Lifetime Hunting License.

I originally got my CCW for hunting back in '03 I think it was. I was just going to get H&T but like OI said, it's worthless so I went ahead with CCW. I've got my lifetime now.
