Indiana goes to lifetime gun carry permits

Indiana requires permits for handgun carry, and has just created a lifetime permit.

As the article notes, police continue to track conviction records and compare them to the list of permit holders, and can revoke them if a holder is convicted (just as they do now--they don't let the permit run on for the full four years if a disabling conviction is found.) So you'd think the promoters of gun laws would ignore the change

But with its knee jerk reflex to anything resembling making gun laws easier on the gun owner, Brady Campaign complains that it is "ludicrous" and that "some gun owners ought to be checked out every four years."
