License to CARRY PERMIT for texas.
If you can afford to get your license to carry, get it now. Here are just a few reasons why it's beneficial to get your license to carry whether you plan to carry openly or concealed.
You can legally carry way more places including into most small businesses.
You can instantly prove to law enforcement you are not a criminal carrying a firearm with malicious intent.
You will know you are carrying legally if you were approved for an LTC. Many people carrying without a license don't even realize they are breaking the law as they are not eligible to carry without a license. Even though you don't technically have to have a license, the law is still very strict on who can carry their firearm legally without a license. You can face up to 5 years in prison for carrying without a license just for having as little as a misdemeanor on your record. Don't risk it. Just get the license.
You will be knowledgeable regarding all gun laws after taking the LTC class. Knowledge is power. Would you let your kids jump in the car at 16 without knowing what a stop sign was, or what the speed limit means? The same goes with firearms, claiming ignorance of the laws will not get you out of a felony gun violation. Getting your license to carry will ensure you know all the laws to keep you legal and out of jail.
