WHAT IS THE LTC CLASS?

Our License To Carry (LTC) exceeds the training requirements to get your Texas LTC. This class covers the Texas Penal Code on Force and Deadly Force as well as where you can and can not carry. It is a 5 hour class conducted at our facilities in San Antonio and we teach every Saturday from 8-1pm. We are the only 1 stop shop in the area with fingerprints, range and classroom all done at the same location.

Constitutional Carry goes into effect on 1 September 2021, which means you will be able to carry your handgun without a license in most places. There are eligibility requirements, places that are still restricted and business owners can still prevent you from carrying. If you are wanting information on the Texas laws on the use of force and deadly force as well as where you can and can not carry we encourage you to attend our License To Carry class for that knowledge. The cost is reduced for those not getting an LTC but the information and class are the same. If at the end of the class you decide that you want to get your LTC you will just need to pay the difference for your State Certificate of Training LTC-100 form.

Online LTC Instruction & Range Qualification

The online class can be done at your pace from either a computer or from your smart phone. Once completed you will be issued a LTC-101 training certificate from your training school that you will bring with you for the range portion of the class. The state mandates 1-2 hours of classroom time along with the range qualification. You will start the class along with the other students at 8am and you should be finished around 9:30am after the qualification. If you would like, you can sit in on the rest of the class that covers the Texas Penal code, signage and where you can carry which generally concludes by 1pm.

Nope! If you don't have a handgun we have plenty of rentals to choose from. We even sell firearms & ammunition.

I don't have much experience with a handgun?

Great, that means you haven't developed bad habits! We offer beginner classes or private training classes to help you. Or sign up for the Ultimate LTC class that will have additional handgun training.

Where is the class held?

Class is at our range facility, LoneStar Handgun Shooting Range, near the intersection of I-10 & 1604 in San Antonio.

Why take a class with Constitutional Carry?

Constitutional carry allows you to carry a handgun without a license, which is great! But knowledge on the Texas Penal Code and where you can carry is necessary to remain legal. Nothing beats interacting with a Subject Matter Expert on these laws versus what you might get in a internet forum.
