LTC and CHL in Texas – Can an 18 year old Carry a Handgun in Texas? – In a surprising ruling, the Texas Department of Safety (DPS) must reduce the age for a license to carry permit from 21 to 18. The ruling came from Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc. et. al., v. Steven McCraw
On Feb. 7, the DPS website released information that said, “A Federal district court has ruled the Department can no longer apply the License to Carry Statutory eligibility criteria that prohibit otherwise eligible 18- to 20-year-olds from obtaining the license.”
