    Well I can't find anything that tells the distinction, I just wanted to be correct.
    If we had true Constitutional Carry, an LTC wouldn't be necessary at all........both LTC and Non LTC would be treated the same.....

    Currently, people carrying without an LTC are subject to more restrictions than an LTC........i.e......permitless carry.....

    Exactly. Calling it Constitutional Carry when CC has more restrictions than LTC is Newspeak

    I guess I really don't think that is correct. Can you please explain it ?

    In Texas, you absolutely do not need any kind of permit to carry....open or concealed.

    You can't explain it more clearly? hahaha You didn't explain it at all and I don't think you have any idea now do you ? Why not just say that ? I've done my homework and there is no difference. Kind of seems like you don't know what you are talking about.

    There are a number of differences. Having an LTC allows you to bypass 30.05 signs for one and there are others. That's why you should actually read up on what an LTC allows over permitless carry. Coming in as a Newby you had better make sure you know what you are talking about before posting.

    "Constitutional carry" isn't a legal term. So there is no specific legal definition. The premise is that because the 2nd amendment provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and the14th amendment prohibits the States from infringing it, then anyone should be able to carry (bear) arms, without that right being infringed. Requiring a license is arguably an infringement. Setting other limitations on carry may or may not be. I guess one could argue Vermont has the closest thing to "Constitutional Carry" as there is no law generally prohibiting it. I think the term permitless carry is more descriptive and accurate for Texas, but neither is a legal term.
