Why get licensed

Benefits of a Texas LTC

01

Reciprocity

This is a big one. An LTC allows you to carry in many more states. Texas has reciprocity agreements with a significant number of other states, meaning your LTC is recognized as a carry permit in those places.

02

Carry in more places

School zones, school parking lots, college campuses “including in buildings”, past no carry “gun buster” signs, hospitals, nursing homes and more.

03

Potential legal advantages

An LTC might offer some additional legal protection in self-defense situations. Having an LTC demonstrates you’ve received training on firearms safety and Texas law.

04

Faster firearm purchases

LTC holders are exempt from background checks when buying guns from a dealer.

05

Responsible gun ownership

An LTC shows you’ve gone through the process of education and background checks. This can be a positive if you’re ever questioned by law enforcement.

06

Trespass protection

If you carry past a no carry sign they must give you an opportunity to leave the building before you can be charged.
