Enhanced License To Carry

Why Us?

We can make it real simple. The state gives every instructor a bare minimum standard to teach you. This means you are getting the bare minimum state required training from others and we feel it is not enough if you are going to be carrying a firearm and possibly using it for self-defense. As one student told us, “River City Tactical’s LTC class is like LTC on steroids”. We train you better, we educated you better and we explain it better when it comes to getting your LTC. We have 5-star reviews and our students as well as the whole internet find us to be professional, patient and well organized when it comes to training. We have had other students take our course because they felt “under educated” taking other courses.

This is a 1-day course. You will spend 4.5 hours in a classroom environment learning the mandated requirements as provided by the state as well as our enhanced instruction with current scenarios, situations, laws and modernized crime data.

The Class Portion

You will be learning in a classroom setting. Our classes are enhanced to help the student understand the LTC (Licensed To Carry) requirements by the state as well as understand the laws associated with the course. We offer a tremendous class loaded and packed with information to help you the student understand MORE than the basics others teach. You will leave our class with confidence in our training.

Once the classroom portion has concluded, you will take a multiple-choice exam. After the exam is finished all the students will follow the instructors as we travel to a firing range located in West Bexar County where you will shoot to qualify.

You do not need to own a firearm as we can rent you one. Please look under our Gun Rental & Fees.

You will be allowed to fire some practice rounds if you feel that you might be rusty, just remember to bring extra ammunition because you will need at least 50 rounds to qualify. This is completely legal and within our right as well as discretion to aid you in the confidence in the shooting portion of the course.

* NEW SHOOTERS: We offer a Basic Firearm Education Course/Enhanced Licensed To Carry Combo package.

We offer a tried and proven Basic Firearm Education Course added to the LTC Class. We will train you on the analytics of your firearm, show you how to load, unload, grip, position and aim the firearm to aid in your qualification as well as firearm experience. We offer both Semi-Automatic and Revolver training. Your firearm is also used in qualification in the LTC Class. This combo saves the shooter money! Combo package fee: $250 per person.

The Shooting Portion

The shooting portion will consist of firing 50 rounds from the 3, 7 and 15 yard lines. You will be properly instructed prior to positioning and qualification. You must score a minimum of 175 to pass the shooting exam.

You must be proficient to qualify. We are not allowed to help you with your loading/unloading and the firing of your firearm. We DO have a Basic Firearm Education class that is 1 day to help you be proficient. We have trained hundreds of students to help them be better shooters and qualify.

If by chance you happen to fail the shooting exam you will be given the opportunity to retest that very moment only if you have the ammunition to do so. If by chance the weather is inclement and we are unable to shoot, you will be allowed to shoot at the very next possible chance.

What you will need:

A handgun (caliber .22-.45)
Safety glasses or sunglasses (prescription glasses are fine)
Earmuffs or plugs
Baseball Cap
At least 50 rounds of ammunition
Shoes or Boots (no open-toed footwear)
We recommend a collared shirt for safety reasons.
Driver's License or I.D.
