national reciprocity bill introduced in congress

if this can be forced through over the obvious objections of states like NJ,CA,MA,NY, this would make laws nation wide much more consistent, currently theres a great many more states supporting either constitutional carry or some form of concealed carry license reciprocity

New LTC Licenses​

You do not have to apply for your license before you take the class. It is a separate fee than the class/instructional fee. We will discuss the application process at the end of the class.

The state does not look at the application until you send in the paperwork that says you passed the class and shooting proficiency test.

You may complete the application for a new concealed handgun license online via the DPS website (click here). If you apply online with DPS you will automatically entered in the CHL database and can register for finger printing through IdentiGo. Fingerprints will only be handled and submitted through IdentiGo.

When you apply online at the end of the application process a BAR CODE receipt will be displayed. PRINT IT. Be sure and give the state your e-mail address otherwise once you close that window you can not get back to that receipt. The state will e-mail you a copy of the receipt. Even though you do not have to, we recommend you submit a copy of the receipt when you submit you licensing paperwork to the state.

Class Time​

Class start times vary by location and class type. Check homepage or your receipt for class schedule.

Notes:​

We encourage you to bring a hat to wear to prevent spent hot brass from potentially burning you. Please dress for the weather on the day of class. Thanks.

If you have hearing and eye protection please bring with you, if not, we can loan you these items (limited items available). Please let us know prior to class if you will need these items.

We currently use several different locations to conduct the classroom portion to accommodate all citizens from difference locations throughout the state. Please call to verify where the classroom portion for the particular course you signed up for.

If you do not have a handgun it is acceptable to borrow someone else’s. Big Kountry also rents handguns for an additional fee of $10 plus the ammo. You may not use your own ammo with a rental gun.

The handgun range is located outside at a different location about a 15 minute drive from the classroom. The class room portion is located inside. So please dress for the weather on the day of class.

A score of 70%, or 175 points of a possible 250, is required to pass. The target used is a B-27 which is a human-shaped silhouette target measuring 45 by 24 inches. All shooting is from the ready position, which means the gun is already in your hands and aimed in.

Shooting Test - Texas License To Carry/CHL

Number of Rounds Fired​

The shooting test requires 50 rounds of ammunition

License-To-Carry Shooting Proficiency Distances​

The LTC Shooting test is fired at three distances:

• 3 yards – 20 rounds fired
• 7 yards – 20 rounds fired
• 15 yards – 10 rounds fired

The majority of students pass the proficiency test when they have completed shooting at 3 and 7 yards. However, all 50 rounds must be shot.

LTC Passing Score​

The Texas LTC shooting test passing score is 175 points out of 250 points or a score of 70%. The state allows for three chances to pass the shooting test.

Remember, I have had students pass the shooting proficiency test with flying colors who fired a gun for the first time ever when they took the test.

LTC Shooting Proficiency Test Scoring​

• 
  
  5 points – shots fired in the X, 10, 9, & 8 rings
• 4 points – shots fired in the 7 ring
• 3 points – shots fired outside the 7 ring but on the silhouette
• 0 points – shots fired outside the silhouette or off the target paper
• Shots that hit just outside the ring but break the line count as the higher score
