Quote History Quoted:
I would like to think that a lifetime handgun license would be valid for life even if the need to have one in state is done away with.

This is my thought... I don't think the license would ever expire, you just wouldn't have to have one to carry in Indiana anymore.
That being said, how do we handle permitting of the next generation? If the other states don't follow suit and a permit is still required to carry in other states with reciprocity, will Indiana continue to issue permits on an optional basis?
If so, I would even say that it may benefit us to have the optional permit include some required training to gain more reciprocity with other states. I know that is a deeply emotional issue and I am currently on the side of the fence of no mandatory training, but after Constitutional Carry was enacted you would no longer need the permit to exercise your rights, you would only need it if you wanted reciprocity with most other states, and a training requirement would get you even more reciprocity...
