The Texas License to Carry class fulfills the training requirements set by the Texas Department of Public Safety for an individual to apply for a receive a Texas LTC. Joel Kuchenski brings real world knowledge and understanding to this course through his experience as a police officers and trainer for a large municipal police department in Texas.

 

This course will provide students the legal knowledge and understanding to help prepare them for the realities of carrying a handgun in Texas for self-defense. Students will understand not just what the law says, but how it applies to everyday life.

 

Training Philosophy

 

Joel's law enforcement and real-world training experience shape how every lesson is taught, whether you're in the classroom or on the range. The goal is simple: make everything clear, practical, and easy to understand.

 

Too many LTC courses leave students confused, overwhelmed, or worse - walking away with bad or unsafe advice. That's not how this training works. Students don't just finish this course, they leave with real confidence, a solid understanding of the material, and a clear path to keep improving.
