This class presents the fundamentals which the Texas Legislature considers necessary for anyone who is going to carry a firearm. You do not need to be applying for an LTC to benefit from this class.
The Texas Legislature and Texas Department of Public Safety require that all License to Carry Applicants complete an official LTC classroom education course delivered by a licensed Texas LTC Instructor. The course may be no less than four (4) hours, no more than six (6) hours, and includes the required categories of education.
Upon successful completion Student will receive (if desired) the LTC-100 Classroom form required for applying for the Texas LTC.
NOTE: There is no shooting in this course; it is lecture only. The LTC shooting qualification is offered separately (see below).
