Why Should I get a permit to carry a handgun in Amarillo, Tx

Joe M. Salinas • January 1, 2022

Getting a LTC (License to Carry) has lots of benefits in getting, not only for protection but Legal protection for having it as well. 

How to get an LTC to protect yourself both physically and legally


Reasons to get a license as compared to permit less carrying (Constitutional Carry). The new law paves the way for Texans 21 years of age and older to carry handguns without a permit. No longer will state background checks or training be required. That statement alone makes me very concerned as a Licensed Texan that anyone without any knowledge of the laws pertaining to being able to carry a firearm without a background check. Lots of concerns are there with Constitutional carry to the point where we instructors are raising awareness about the downsides of carrying without a license and not knowing the law, or what to do when you get pulled over by the Police, DPS, or The Sherriff's Department. What zones you can and can't carry in without a license.
