Is Indiana Handgun Permit Valid, If I&#39;m no Longer a Resident?
<p>Indiana offers a lifetime handgun permit to Indiana residents, per <a href="http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2021/ic/titles/035#35-47-2-4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IC 35-47-2-4 (a)(2)</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Licenses to carry handguns shall be either qualified or unlimited, and are valid for ... the life of the individual receiving the license in the case of a lifetime license.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, I can not find any indication of the validity of the permit (and therefore its reciprocity with other states) if the resident relocates out of Indiana. The closest I can find is <a href="http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2021/ic/titles/035#35-47-2-3" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IC 35-47-2-3(g)(4)(B)</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>...a lifetime license is automatically revoked if the license holder does not remain a proper person.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, I do not believe that &quot;Indiana Residency&quot; is a requirement of being a proper person, as it is not mentioned in the definition of &quot;Proper Person&quot; at <a href="http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2021/ic/titles/035#35-47-1-7" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IC 35-47-1-7</a></p>
<p>...So that leaves me at a loss. <strong>Do those holding a Lifetime Indiana Handgun Permit retain said permit, even after Indiana Residency?</strong></p>

<p>There doesn't seem to be any indication I could find that your Indiana license would expire or be revoked. That said, that question is likely moot for your purposes per the comment you left. <strong>Your Indiana permit is no longer valid in Florida if you have been a Florida resident for 91 days or more.</strong></p>
<p>Florida handgun license reciprocity is covered by <a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;Search_String=&amp;URL=0700-0799/0790/Sections/0790.015.html" rel="noreferrer">S 790.015</a> and applies to non-residents. Individuals who establish residency in Florida and have a license from another state have 90 days to acquire a Florida license (emphasis mine):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(3) <strong>If the resident of another state who is the holder of a valid
license to carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm issued in
another state establishes legal residence in this state</strong> by:</p>
<p>(a) Registering to vote;</p>
<p>(b) Making a statement of domicile pursuant to s. 222.17; or</p>
<p>(c) Filing for homestead tax exemption on property in this state, <strong>the license shall remain in effect for 90 days following the date on which the holder of the license establishes legal state residence</strong></p>
