Texans still getting LTC 2 yrs after constitutional carry law passed

[DougC]

According to Texas instructors like Cargill who teach license-to-carry classes, the There are still benefits to taking the class and receiving a permit: knowledge about the law, ability to carry a gun across state lines and peace of mind.

Phil Ryan, who teaches license-to-carry courses at Texas Concealed Carry Institute in McKinney, said the No. 1 reason people attend his classes is to learn the laws, adding that it’s “because they know in one second, they could become a criminal.” (From the Bearing Arms blog)

I’m keeping mine, and I tell others who ask me to get or keep theirs.

Just makes sense to me for lots of reasons…

I keep renewing mine for alot of good reasons.

 

[mmcbeat]

I recently renewed mine.

I know places that went from 30.06 to 30.05 or the old alcohol sold so people carrying unlicensed firearms are subject to 7 years in prison.

I recently renewed mine.

Ditto.
between learning the law and out of state reciprocity, that’s more than enough benefit to me.

I renew mine so buying guns isnt a hassle

 

[Hoji]

I just renewed my LTC/School Safety Instructors Certs.

I will be renewing my LTC as well next year.

We will be renewing ours also; primarily for the out-of-state travel we occasionally do.

I got my first license in Virginia in 1994. When I moved to South Carolina in 2001, I got my license there. When I moved to Texas in 2020, getting my license was one of the first things that I did. I plan on renewing it until I'm gone.

I plan on renewing mine and my buddy already made plans with me to practice to take his in class portion of the course. Worth it in lieu of a background check and reciprocity in other states alone for me.

I’ll always keep mine. The NICS bypass is nice for someone that always catches a delay. And gives you a few additional places to carry.

Agree

I'll continue to do so because our neighboring states do not have constitutional carry laws, but have reciprocity with Texas LTCs, fast and convenient buying of new guns, etc.

Plus, for what little flex it is, I can produce a card that proves a state government found me to have 0 convictions, and I passed a state test to prove the most basic of competency.

Though from what I remember of the state test, it was laughably easy.

Just renewed mine. NICS, reciprocity.

 

[mmcbeat]

I recently renewed mine.

I should have mentioned that I’ve had one since 1996. It’s hard to imagine not having one.

 

[Renegade]

NICS bypass
School Zone Carry
Reciprocity
More gun allowed places
Good Guy ID
Express lanes

Lots of reasons to keep getting it.

Texas doesn't have a lifetime license?

 

[BigRed]

State licenses are useful when going to other States that respect them.

There is little reason to give them up...but that's from the perspective where the king does not require a license to be renewed.

 

[BigRed]

What is often overlooked is how many States are finally respecting "Constitutional Carry" even towards folks that are not residents of the individual State.

MUCH better than the "national reciprocity" bullshit.
