  • Is the online LTC class easy?
  • Yes. Our online Texas LTC class is comprehensive and easy to follow. We have a 100% pass rate.
  • How hard is the shooting qualification?
  • The course of fire for the shooting qualification is easy but you need to be moderately proficient with your handgun. If you can independantly load and prepare your pistol to fire, clear a jam or malfunction, and operate your hangun safely in a range setting you are good to go.
  • How can I get confidence handling my handgun before I take the shooting qualification?
  • DPS does not allow us to offer instruction during the shooting qualification. If you are not 100% comfortable with your firearm, we highly recommend that you take our Handgun and Shooting Fundamentals classes before taking the range portion of the LTC course. This is a great way to prepare and learn how to safely handle your firearm.
