Should you renew your LTC?

[Charlie]

As said earlier, unless you're going to other states, it's not really necessary, IMO.

Guess I'm in the minority. Will not renew. Getting it was the single most emasculating thing I've ever done.

Renew it Online, I did.

I just remembered that both my DL and LTC are expiring very soon. Not sure if I need or want to renew my LTC since they made it permitless carry. I don't know if there are benefits to having it still. I kinda thought it used to make the buying process go way faster on the background check when purchasing a firearm but I don't know for sure. I'm also not sure if I have to retake a course to renew.

I will respond to you below, however it is recommended to renew for multiple reasons.

All you need is your birth certificate. A certified copy.

This is incorrect. I just took my son to the DMV to get his stuff. They required 3 forms of ID. I had to provide his social security card, birth certificate + 1 (in our case we used his Military Dependent ID, however they said his report card would do). Plus 2 proofs of residency (bills, etc). We used our Appraisal and my Voter Registration.

As said earlier, unless you're going to other states, it's not really necessary, IMO.

Aside from Reciprocity your LTC allows you to:

• Carry within 1000ft of a school (this is federal law). Must have an LTC to be within 1000ft of a public school while carrying a firearm.
• When coupled with a Letter from US Army Corps of Engineers, it allows you to carry at the recreational area/lakes controlled by USACE. 31 major lakes in Texas are covered under this Federal Law. (Note you need a LTC and Letter of Permission).
• Skip any waiting periods to buy a firearm.
• Concealed carry at the State Capital. (Cannot with permit-less).
• Concealed carry at the State Fair of Texas. (Cannot with permit-less).
• Counts as a legal form of ID. (Can also have your Veteran Status and count as a legal Veteran ID).

This is just a couple of the benefits.

Well I will put it this way, I spent a days time and $300.00 getting my permit. I can renew it over the internet for a $40.00, to me it would just be stupid not to renew. Maybe it's an ego thing but the hard work is done, just click, put in your card number and wait for USPS to bring it to you. look at the benefits mentioned already, Think about it. Geez!!

Why would you not? The benefits far outweigh the process. Renewal is a lot easier than the initial app.

I didn't have my glasses on and was picking up a TV I purchased at Best Buy. I got out my ID didn't realize it was my CHL (a few years ago) girl said she never saw one of those.

So she gave you the TV, right?

I think I've got one more time I can renew on line. The cut off is age 79.

Can you say "age discrimination" without saying age discrimination?

For $50.00, I'll keep mine just in case I decide to cross state lines. I want to be legal, I don't like jail.

My mother in law is 92, at 80 something they made her come in in person to renew her drivers license so they could be sure she was physically fit to drive. She can only get them for two years at the time.

As an instructor I have to renew every 2 years.

I can understand you have to keep up with all the rules and regulations.

If and when they come to take our weapons we will be the first in line. Since they know who we are and where we are. We get to be the front line.

Think it would be us or those with tax stamped suppressors, SBRs, etc?

But, do they know how many you have?

Yes.

Do it for reciprocity, NICS.

Go online and renew for $50.00. Keep it just in case you cross state lines and it does make buying a firearm a lot smoother.
