A green and white target with a gun in it

In 2017, Texas officially changed the term “concealed handgun license” to “license to carry” (LTC) a handgun. This decision was made because open carry became legal in Texas in 2016. Since this license now applies to both concealed and open carry, it makes sense to simply refer to it as a license to carry. Therefore, the answer to what’s the difference between CHL and LTC is that there is no difference. These are terms that refer to the same exact thing in Texas.

No, a holster is not required for concealed carry in Texas. However, holsters are required for open carry. If you plan to open carry your weapon, it must be in a shoulder or belt holster. However, since there are no specifications as to what type of shoulder or belt holster you can use, you do have options. Their are multiple options for Holsters. What to know our favorite holsters, email us at [email protected]
