Should you renew your LTC?

[Vaquero]

If you've already jumped through the hoops and gotten on the list.
You might as well renew. It's pretty cheap and easy to cross a few borders and stay "legal".

 

[jwales]

Yes to renew. Bypassing background checks is biggest benefit to me.

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

Passport is the easy way to renew drivers license. At my age you don't renew on line. Damn.

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

I'm mainly keeping mine for buying more weapom=ns.

You should have seen the ladies face when I presented mine when I went to Vote. She says I can't use this, I says it's and offical ID issued to me by the state of Texas, she asked another lady and she told her the same thing.
I love confusing people like that.

At what age is that?
My mother in law is 92, she has to renew her Drivers License every 2 years in person.

If you will be 80 when it expires you have to go in and have eye exam to renew. Mine was renewed for 8 years.

Do you really need a LTC as long as you get a bill of sale when buying or selling a gun in a private transaction?

All jokes aside ...
For those who genuinely do not know and would like an answer (like recent transplants from oppressive dictatorial states), no, you do not need an LTC or a BoS in this state.

Don't let it lapse.....for all the above reasons..........

I agree.

As a teacher at a college, I am required to have an LTC while carrying on campus. So I can attest that there are places where it's needed if you want to carry legally.

While I may not go through with all I had to go through to get the LTC had I not needed it on campus, I certainly like the fact that I don't need to stand around waiting on a background check at my FFL.

I support Constitutional Carry, so if you want an LTC for whatever reason, get it. If not, that is your right.

LTC renewal is almost a slam dunk decision- you went through the red tape already, now it is just basically paying the 40 bucks online. In addition to the bypass of a background check in gun stores, it is basically a certified stamp of "good guy" to law enforcement.

While I agree that renewing a LTC is a slam dunk in my case for $20 since I'm former military, I'm not sure why the police would ever have any reason to know I'm a "certified good guy" nor why I would care to let them know. I don't interact with law enforcement unless I have to or they are a friend of mine and when I do I have no desire to share extraneous information. In fact, yesterday I was at the range and I brought a machinegun to shoot. I showed the range check in guy the ATF Form 4. The manager came over and said, we don't need to see that, we're not the cops or ATF, so it's none of our business.

As others have said previously, the LTC allows you to carry in more places - the Texas State Fair being one of them.

When they run your drivers license, it automatically shows you have a license to carry without them asking you.
