Anyone else hearing about a new website/ phone line set up by RSD for FFLs to validate LTC licensees? Supposed to prevent firearm sales to someone with an invalid LTC.
I have never heard the term "invalid LTC". What does that mean? I know my LTC will become invalid the day after it expires. And if it is revoked by LE, it cannot be invalid because it will cease to exist.
I might just be dense today, please forgive my old brain.
From the TSRA email:
A valid Texas LTC may be used as an alternative permit under 18 U.S.C. § 922(t) to authorize a firearm transfer without the otherwise required national instant criminal background (NICS) check. However, in some instances, an LTC may have been revoked, but the actual card may not have been surrendered by the license holder. In such instances, the LTC should not be used as an alternative permit. While the department is not aware of an invalid LTC used in such a manner, providing FFLs with a convenient avenue to verify an LTC is an important safeguard to prevent such action.
