Just one advantage, It allows you to carry within a 1000 yards of a school. You can be arrested if you drive by a school and you don't have an LTC an your fire arm isn't locked up and inaccessible within your vehicle.Was in the process of getting my LTC when the constitutional carry law passed, so didn't end up getting it. Of you already have one though I would renew it.
OK, this is hilarious:It says nothing other than allow sufficient time for processing I hope that means it's been mailed out - I guess the fact that I'm not a US citizen might make things slower...
Yep good for travel to other states that have reciprocity. 29 permitless states make it easier now for those who don't have a permit tooWhen I lived in AL I still got their permit despite not needing one since they have constitutional carry. The main reason was for reciprocity with TN and GA, which I traveled to frequently. Better to have and not need, as the saying goes...
And our LTCs also have the NICS benefit. AL's permit doesn't count for NICS, but at least is cheap and easy to get.Yep good for travel to other states that have reciprocity. 29 permitless states make it easier now for those who don't have a permit too
Renewed mine about two months ago. Got it in about three weeks.Aside from Reciprocity your LTC allows you to:
This is just a couple of the benefits.
- 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).
I will respond to you below, however it is recommended to renew for multiple reasons.
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.

That isn't going to hold up.Not any more. After 26 years of allowing it, you can't carry at the State Fair anymore.
- Concealed carry at the State Capital. (Cannot with permit-less.
Who is going to do something about it? It will be handled the same way as Cowboys Stadium for non-school/professional sporting events or the AA center for non-professional, non-sporting events. You will not be able to carry.That isn't going to hold up.
I guess you didn't see the letter sent by the AG, he told them they have 15 days to respond or face a 1500 dollar a day fine. And he says they cannot ban firearms.Who is going to do something about it?

What are you going to do with that letter when you get to the gate and the security guard won't let you in?I guess you didn't see the letter sent by the AG, he told them they have 15 days to respond or face a 1500 dollar a day fine. And he says they cannot ban firearms.
It is 1000 feet, not yards. Where did you find the firearm locked up and inaccessible? Did I miss that in the law? I didn't think that was a get home free card. I don't think people get arrested for this unless they are violating some other law but who knows.Just one advantage, It allows you to carry within a 1000 yards of a school.

If they have a problem with either they will let you know.Received my renewal today. Yay, first time to renew with the senior discount as an old fart. They always have the caveat about reusing your DL picture and fingerprints...if possible. I'd assume the fingerprints wouldn't be an issue since they went all digital about a dozen years ago.
Did anything come of this? They announced the fair on the news this morning and I thought, "Not going this year."I guess you didn't see the letter sent by the AG, he told them they have 15 days to respond or face a 1500 dollar a day fine. And he says they cannot ban firearms.
