Yes, You Still Want a Texas LTC: Here's Why

www.uslawshield.com/gettheguide
The Firearms Carry Act of 2021-HB 1927, also known as Texas Constitutional Carry-has been the law of the land since September, so carrying guns without a Texas License to Carry ("LTC") is now possible for most people. If you’re wondering if you should keep your existing LTC, or if you should bother getting an LTC at all, the short answer is yes, an LTC is good to have.
Do you really need an LTC?
Whether you have questions about what an LTC allows you to do or you want to know if there's a reason to even have one anymore, we’re here to help. Join us LIVE Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 11:00 AM CT to watch "Yes, You Still Want a Texas LTC: Here's Why" and have your questions answered by experienced U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorneys.
This live event will answer questions like:
What is a Texas LTC?
What is a Texas LTC used for now that permitless carry is in effect?
Can I carry wherever I want without an LTC?
Can I carry in other states without an LTC since Texas has permitless carry and I'm a resident?
Do I need an LTC to conceal carry?
Have the LTC requirements changed?
Are there new penalties for carry violations with an LTC and without an LTC?
How do I get an LTC?
Where can I carry if I have an LTC?
Are there fewer, or different, “no guns” signs for LTC holders?
It's important to be a well-educated gun owner, and we are here to further your firearms education.

Main reasons to get the LTC: 1) multi state reciprocal agreements 2) education about Texas law regarding use of force in different situations. This can help you stay out of jail by preventing you from doing something foolish.

[@seaphor665]

Might also add 3) Don't have to wait for that (sometimes) lengthy BG check

[@Me2Lancer]

Well said, my thoughts exactly.

[@mrad7586]

4. Trespass protection - when you find yourself carrying in a no-carry zone.

[@waynehajek6346]

@@kylemarsun In reference to "your God given right", Jesus Himself said "render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's". If you believe in and follow Christ then His words should be be obeyed in civil matters. The individual state limitations are the "render unto Caesar" examples that Christ instructs us to follow. Like it or not, it is what it is. I also believe that our right to own and "bear" arms is a God given right, however I will comply with whatever limitations are imposed as those limitations may have been made for legitimate reasons.

Hey there didnt god create earth, and didnt god create man, in his image, and didnt god give man dominion over earth that he created? And does god have higher authority than anyone? And doesnt anything used from earth to create anything at all be subservant to gods creation thru gods creations dominion? So isnt ceasar a ruler and not a government? And doesnt things absolutely mean what they say in the bible?

After listening to all this and hearing just how muddled-up everything is regarding THIS law, THAT law..the ‘difference between being allowed to carry with an LTC vs “ONLY” Constitutional Carry, all these differences do nothing but serve THE LAWYERS, the judicial system as a whole. Just like most everything in life, instructions for virtually all in life has come down to being written BY lawyers using legal “jargon” making life more confusing and making it HARDER for the average person to defend themselves without having to worry about “what law is this, which law is THAT..can I do this or that”. The ONLY ‘law’ there SHOULD be is the one that says “iF you’re not a menace to society, if you’re a decent, honorable and have shown NOT to be a threat to others, etc, etc then THE Constitution AND our Bill of Rights should be ALL that’s required because it worked for so long BEFORE lawyers and the “legal system” decided there’s something more in it for them. Read virtually ANYTHING these days, there are disclosures, legal disclaimers and even the ads ON THE TV/RADIO include the “fine print”. It’s a messed-up situation that could be a lot better. ‘Simpler’ is almost ALWAYS better. Y’all KNOW what I mean..whether or not you’re willing to admit it is another story.

Main takeaway: Constitutional carry in TX isn’t nearly as constitutional as it should be due to all the laws that still "infringe" on one’s constitutional right…. that "shall not be" infringed on.

No constitutional carry state is really constitutional carry. It just means no additional permission is necessary to carry a firearm. There are still many infringements.

Too many benefits of having the LTC to let it lapse. Right now, it costs me $25 every 5 years to renew. No NCIC check delays is the best reason. WIth a LTC, you still have to fill out the 4473, however the FFL does NOT have to call or go online to get the background check approved.

Last year FBI was invoking 23 and 30 day delays on NICS checks, claiming that the Texas government was closed. It was dissembling. DPS, which participated in data input to the NICS system, was never closed. Certain agencies or portions of agencies which had nothing to do with the NICS system and were deemed “nonessential” were closed for some period of time. Many gun stores declined to make sales to non-Texas LTC because of the hassle.

There is some inaccurate information here. Under 30.05, a gun buster sign won't work. The sign needs to have exact or similar language to the statute and in both English and Spanish. The sign can't be a sharpie on 8x5 piece of paper unless the wording "appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height." It must also be in a conspicuous place like 30.06 and .07. I love you guys, but wanted to correct the record so property owners don't get the wrong idea.

One aspect that was not mentioned and I believe it still applies is federal GFSZA. Federal law prohibits gun possession in school zones (not just schools themselves, but also areas outside) unless one is licensed to carry in that jurisdiction (state). While the state such as Texas is not likely to push that issue in a good defensive shooting in such area for somebody who is not licensed, Feds can still choose to prosecute.

Also the good thing about a Florida CCW is that it also applies to other non-gun weapons. So for example if you have a knife with a blade 4 inches or longer you can carry that knife concealed. With out a CCW you'd be arrested for a concealed knife with a blade that long.

Is there a difference between constitutional carry and permit-less carry or are they the same thing?

In reality, this happens a LOT... you should only make this defensive move if you are indeed prepared to move to drawing and firing if needed. If merely presenting the fact that you have a gun stops the criminal, then that is great. Be aware that hardened criminals, especially ones that learned in prison, will not be intimidated by your gun. The prison tactic taught here is CHARGE THE GUN... so you better be prepared to take it to the next step.

What is the law regarding showing your licence? And, the law regarding "presenting" your licence vs surrendering your licence? do I have to physically give them my licence? Because as far as I can read it only says to "present" or "dis[play", not "surrender". Thank you for the clarity on this.

My education has been to present your carry license with your drivers license when asked for your driver’s license. It’s considered the ‘good guy card’ by most officers. You’ve been vetted by the authorities already.
