I really didn't think I was that unclear. I simply asked why you asked if he skirted the requirement to take a TX handgun course. As far as I know there is no such thing. There is a requirement to take the LTC course and there are only a few ways to skirt that and being in the military is not one of them. It was that comment of yours that made me wonder what kind of handgun classes you were talking about. After reading your response to my post, I am fairly certain that you are just using terms differently than I have heard them used in the past. As I stated, I took the CHL class and have since renewed twice. In the CHL class and in the renewal class I had to take for the first renewal, there is a lot of information regarding Texas laws. I have also taken numerous handgun/shooting classes in which we talked a lot about tactics and strategies but not much about laws.Bodeneth wrote:The skirting the requirement comment....yes, in tx you are required to take the 4-6 hr tx LTC course before you can get a tx LTC. Unless he somehow got around that required course by being qualified in the military or because he had a license in another state etc, ya gotta take an approved TX LTC course. (Hence the skirting comment) . So basically, IF he didnt have to take the tx LTC course because of courses or qualifications he had in the past, he missed out on important info regarding tx laws.3dfxMM wrote:I am curious about some things you say in the above paragraphs.

I have seen LTC courses and handgun courses, and I have taken both, but the handgun courses focused solely on safety and correct operation of the handgun. There was no discussion of Texas laws in that class. Can you clarify what it is you are talking about?

I guess i asked because i know other states define in more detail whether or not youre carrying legally, those other states also define laws while carrying you cannot have the firearm loaded. Some states even require the magazine to be out of the firearm when its in the vehicle with you.
I couldn't find a texas law to answer my question, maybe that should have been my answer. Figured id ask the pros is all.
Cheers everyone
This makes me wonder if you took a handgun training course when you got your tx ltc. If not, were you able to skirt that requirement since you had an alaska chl? If yes, I STRONGLY encourage you to spend $40 and take a tx handgun course, since during that 4 hr course it would be made crystal clear that tx has no laws that mention or delineate betwixt chambered or unchambered carry in any situation that I am aware of. Additionally, all the details of 30.06 and .07 laws would be clearly laid out for you. At no time in any of your posts do you mention anything taught in the tx ltc course regarding the chambered/unchambered issue. Thats why I am asking.
Once again I apologize if my last question/post to you seemed mean-hearted or insulting. I was truly confused, as I kinda still am lol.
I believe you are saying you took the tx Ltc course but you werent taught anything about tx laws. Thats strange indeed, for part of the required curriculum is in regards to tx handgun laws. In the course I took, we discussed all that stuff in detail....And I suspect that anyone taking that course would notice that at no time did anyone mention anything about carrying with a chamber that was empty or loaded. Thats why I asked him if he took a tx course, and suggested he do so if he didnt. Who knows what other misconceptions about carrying in tx he may have beyond the chamber open or loaded issue.
This leaves me wondering if when you took the tx LTC course, that the part about the laws may not have been a requirement. As far as I can tell, It is certainly a requirement now brother.
