The Texas LTC gives legal protections and multiple benefits when carrying a gun in Texas. Not only are there advantages within Texas law for having an LTC, the online class also covers material that every gun owner is responsible to know and is crucial to be aware of.

Permitless Carry, or Constitutional Carry, does not effect the LTC in Texas. Every responsible gun owner should still have an LTC for the reasons listed above. The LTC class covers Texas laws and regulations surrounding guns and carrying a handgun. 

This class does not teach how to carry a gun, what equipment to select, or how to draw the gun from a concealed holster.
