Why Texans Are Choosing Online LTC:
From bustling downtown Dallas and Fort Worth to the fast-growing suburbs of McKinney and Plano, responsible gun ownership begins with legal awareness and practical preparation. With online License to Carry (LTC) training, residents across North Central Texas can complete the classroom portion on their schedule—and qualify locally.
“I finished the course after the kids went to bed and qualified at a range three blocks away. Easy, compliant, and thorough.” — McKinney LTC graduate
