Not surprised, LTC permits drop a lot after permitless carry goes into effect

[Frank59]

I will keep renewing mine until I die. I have many reasons for doing so, but the reason at the top of my list is putting LEO at ease. I don't get stopped often (the last time was 5 or so years ago) but I like seeing the officer relax when I show my LTC.

I also like the fact that my bank and my employer allow me to carry if I have my LTC.

Good point. I'm curious to know if someone is carrying without a LTC can they be challenged in a public place by LE as to their eligibility to be exercising constitutional carry?

Depends on who's class you took....I agree many Instructors take short cuts, ect.....

But not "all" LTC classes are a joke.......

jmho....

Yep....Take TxInvestigators class and see if it's a joke.....LoL

You should ask my wife. And mother. And most of my family, except me. They all agree with you.

Personally, I find that if I only speed on highways, outside of city limits, and treat the officers with the utmost courtesy, while displaying genuine contrition and admitting my guilt, that I am ticketed less than 10% of the time I'm pulled over for speeding in places that any reasonable human being would find the posted speed limits laughable.

Are you a truck driver sir.....

I’ll keep my LTC up-to-date if for no other reason than “so far” getting a pass on traffic violations. And for the ease and speed in purchasing weapons at the store.

Each of these are good reasons to keep LTC valid.

Yes, and good when govt ID is needed (voting, TSA screening, check cashing).

I enjoy the look given when I use my passport card or other government ID instead of the usual DL they expect to see.

One week and website says ready for printing. Must be less applications.

Rec'd today 4/1

I'll renew my Texas CHL just in case I travel to other states.

 

[Mills]

Me too. I just did my umpteenth renewal since getting my CHL in 1996.

Me too

 

[frodo84]

I just renewed, it didn't take long so I suppose that is a benefit to lower applications.

 

[Bozz10mm]

Mine is due to expire in a few months. I will be renewing it.

 

[Here4TheChix]

I have, what, 37 other states I can currently carry in...
NOT letting that go!

 

[WhiteLightning]

Mine is in being renewed as we speak!

 

[Charlie]

My license to carry is good until Feb. of '27.

Mine and my driver's license both expire in December. IF I don't beat them to it..

The “permit” is instant proof that one is not criminal or “certifiably” nuts. We keep them for that reason.

Anyone can get a DL or ID, and any non-felon can get a passport.

So, we keep the “LTC’s & CHL’s” current.

Remember the “Monnefrio” debacle and that the lesson that permits do not authorize CC of large knives.

All felons can get a passport if they aren't still in jail as long as they are a citizen or national of the United States. I don't need a government issued card to prove I'm not a felon, because it's nobody's f---ing business. I'm not, but I don't have to prove it to anybody unless I want to. Now I keep my Texas LTC because it gets me carry in a few more places and some states with reciprocity where I don't already have a non-res permit. Location restricted ("large") knives are prohibited in the same places that handgun carry is restricted.
