Renew Lic. to Carry, or not?

[richg99]

Just received my notice from TDS that my LTC is coming up for renewal. I thought that TX, along with many other States, now recognizes Constitutional Carry, with no LTC necessary.

Other than making a donation to some politicians, what would I gain by renewing? I do carry in TN, which is a Constitutional Carry State, also.

thanks richg99

Beginning September 1, 2021, HB1927 made it legal in Texas for most people 21 or over to carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed. This law modified the previous open carry law from 2016 by eliminating the requirement to have a license to carry.

Easier to purchase weapons at your ffl ... And another ID to use for voting

I keep mine so I do not have to wait on the Feds to buy a new handgun, rifle or shot gun. Worth it to me.

Same reason I just renewed mine. I have had it for so many years why give it up.

this covers the differences pretty well: there’s a good bit more to it than just purchasing guns.. the chart on pages 24 and 25 covers a lot of it well. Also, there are different reciprocity agreements at work here, there’s some states that don’t have CC but recognize TX LTC.

Yes renew it, its cheap insurance if its ever needed.
You will see a jury regardless if your licensed or not but......... they say it does help.

I plan to keep mine. As example, I think federal law says no guns within 1,000 feet of a school. I think a Texas LTC allows you inside that zone (but not inside the building), while constitutional carry still doesn't allow it. Can a LEO who stopped you because you didn't signal a lane change while driving down the street in front of a school, well within the 1,000 feet, arrest you if you don't have a LTC? There are some gray areas I just don't want to worry about. Peace of mind is important to me. I took my first LTC class in late fall of 1995. I don't think the law actually went into effect until 1/1/96, but I may be wrong. Anyway, I will keep my LTC.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll pay the $40.00

I’ll always be renewing mine. It’s only 40 bucks. Worth that when buying guns. Is it not required to enter a liquor store?

Required

I'm don't know if it has made a difference or not, but I have been stopped for speeding twice and once for headlight out. All three times I have had the officer respond very positively when he sees the LTC and the fact that I am carrying. No tickets yet. Along with all the other reasons mentioned above, it makes sense to keep the license.

There is NO DOUBT my LTC got me out of a speeding ticket AND not having my DL with me. ....52 in a 40 no DL in the small town of Port Acres and a black cop. Told him I had a 380 on my hip and a 40 cal in the console and both ready to rock.

Renew the license.

I feel like a hypocrite on this topic.

I HATE the government being involved with anything firearms related, but I renew mine, because if I want to buy from a shop it's just easier.
