Receiving a Texas License To Carry (LTC):
The State requires each applicant to complete a 4-6 hour class, this does not include the range time. You must pass a written exam and pass the range qualification. This training course is provided in person.
The classroom training will include all state-mandated topics such as: Basic Firearms Safety, Safe Handling and Storage, Resolution by De-escalation, Use of Force Laws, Texas Handgun Laws, Choosing a Firearm, Open Carry and College Campus Carry. We will also have a representative from Texas Law Shield present on Civil Liability and how to prepare yourself should the worst case scenario happen.
THIS CLASS IS NOT WHERE YOU LEARN TO SHOOT. The State requires that all participants know how to safely operate a handgun prior to attending this class. You must be able to load your own magazine and be familiar with your firearm to clear a jam should one occur. If you are not familiar with handling a firearm and would like to learn, you can schedule an Intro to Firearms course with our instructors. Contact us for more information.
