Constitutional Carry

License to Carry Information

Owning, operating and carrying a firearm in public is a big responsibility. Most gun owners understand this and make the effort to educate themselves on the safe operation and handling of their firearms. For those that need training, there are many options available.

“Constitutional Carry” does not change many of our Texas Gun Laws including Use of Force laws. It’s incumbent upon the gun owner to know the laws that affect them.

There are still many good reasons to pursue a Texas License to Carry a Handgun:

Interstate Travel: There are currently 36 states that recognize the Texas LTC. Our Texas “Constitutional Carry” ends at our State border. If you do any traveling outside the Great State of Texas, you’ll need a Texas LTC for reciprocal states to recognize your decision to carry a handgun in their state.

Gun Laws: The burden is on you to know the laws that affect you when carrying a handgun in public. The LTC class covers the laws and regulations related to carrying a gun. Plus, the LTC class provides for questions and answers with the instructor and other students and this dialogue offers an improved understanding of these laws.

Firearm Purchases: Because you go through a State and Federal background check to get a Texas LTC, you are not required to undergo the NICS (National Instant Check System) process when buying a gun from a licensed dealer. During the Virus in 2020, the FBI, who oversees NICS, experienced delays of more than 30 days. With a LTC, there is no delay because there is no NICS requirement. When you buy a gun, your LTC allows for an immediate purchase with no additional waiting. For private firearms sales, the LTC is considered the “Gold Standard” for transacting a deal between the gun seller and the gun buyer.

Contact with Law Enforcement: If you have an encounter with a Police Officer, how does he know you can legally carry your handgun? With a LTC, there is no question – you have the License and you have the gun – it’s self-evident you’re in legal possession of a firearm. With no LTC and depending on why law enforcement has made contact with you, you may be detained while the police determine your eligibility status to own and carry the gun.

A simple solution ...

If you have questions or need further assistance, please contact me and let me know how I may serve you.

If you reside in the Bay Area/Clear Lake, Texas area and are interested in obtaining your License to Carry (LTC) a Handgun you can contact me. I have a certificate from the Texas Department of Public Safety to instruct the LTC classes. I've been conducting these classes for 20 + years.

If you put together a class of five or more at your home or place of business I'll provide your instruction, then we'll go to a local indoor gun range for the Proficiency Portion of the class.

I charge $90 for the in-house class and for that I provide the handouts for the lecture, the testing materials, and the LTC-100 Certificate to be sent to the DPS. The only other thing you will need to bring will be your handgun and 50 rounds of ammunition.
