I figure I’ll be taught all the legalities and responsibilities associated with being granted an LTC.
.
The three most important things to learn - aren't really "taught" in the LTC course.
1.) Situational Awarness
2.) Threat Assessment
3.) Threat Avoidance
Of course, as always, this is my opinion, YMMV!(I hate that acronym)
Excellent wisdom!He also said that the best way to win is to not fight in the first place, and spent a lot of time focusing on avoidance, de-escalation, and training to stay familiar with your gear. And that unless someone is threatening direct harm to you or your family, the best way to handle a situation is to stay back, be a good witness, and call the police.

I reccomend people read that even if they are not getting a license.This has my 'go-to' recommendation for anyone preparing to take a LTC/CHL course for the past 15+ years!

If you think you have to poop, don’t fart.Hi. Registered for the LTC in a couple of weeks. I figure I’ll be taught all the legalities and responsibilities associated with being granted an LTC. With that said, from y’all’s personal experience, what are some items not taught in class that I should know about?
thanks in advance.

Plenty good advice here already.Hi. Registered for the LTC in a couple of weeks. I figure I’ll be taught all the legalities and responsibilities associated with being granted an LTC. With that said, from y’all’s personal experience, what are some items not taught in class that I should know about?

If you read the gun laws before you go to the class you will already know what you need to know. Then you have to know how to load your gun and shoot it.Plenty good advice here already.
Just bring a notepad to class, pay attention, write down important penal codes so that you can read them later. (there will be many, don't rely on memory, trust me)
One interesting things not mentioned in class I can think of right now (and many more that I cannot think of) is what they call "dress around the gun". Often, you need to pick attire that fits your EDC (Every Day Carry). But if your attire is the limiting factor, you gotta find the right gun, holster and ammo pouch.
Oh another thing (yay, I remembered) that they usually don't teach in class is the need for a spare magazine. Not always for extra bullets but because even a magazine can fail. Auto-loader pistols do not function well without a magazine feeding bullets under spring pressure.
And why wait two weeks? Why not take the class now? You can PM me if you would like to do it this weekend.
