We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

In the great state of Indiana no permit is needed to purchase or keep a gun in your home. You do, however, need a permit to carry outside your residence and to exempt yourself from the state background check when purchasing a handgun.

You say you are old enough to get a LTCH so I assume you are 18-20 years of age.
If so you are old enough enough to own and purchase a handgun in the state of Indiana. However due to interstate commerece laws you cannot purchase a handgun from a federal firearms dealer until you turn 21.
Solution is to buy from a private person who is selling something they no longer want.
Your parents could buy you a handgun because straw purchase laws are directed at "buying a firearm for someone prohibited from owning it". Some gun dealers are uber parinoid and won't even let a wife buy a gun for a husband as a birthday present... but then again gun dealers tend to be like cops, ignornant of the laws they are required to know. YMMV.

On a slightly different note, are background checks in Indiana instant?
If I have an out-of-state dealer ship to a local FFL, what will I need to do for background?

I just did that. I ordered a Para Ordnance Warthog from Buds Gun Shop online and had it transferred to a local FFL holder. They have some listed that you can use, but I recommned you check with the FFL holder first to see what the cost is. You might find a better price if you shop around.
Once it arrived, I went in, filled out the form ACCURATELY, including city/state I was born in, which required a cell phone call to my mom. lol I also provided my SS number. He called it in and that was that.
The guy I was dealing with had a sense of humor though. He said, "well, you are wanted in 16 states but Indiana isn't one of them. The black choppers will be here soon". He then noticed an officer at the other end of the counter and said, "oh they're already here". haha
IIRC I filled out the same form when I purchased a used firearm some years ago from a gun shop.
