I do believe I saw on he news that Florida is working on getting constitutional carry! Most of the reasons, maybe all except the background bypass, don't exist for me. Kids are grown so no school property appearances. I really don't travel anywhere outside Texas. I worry we will be forced to build a wall to keep the rest of the country out and don't want to risk being on the wrong side of it.

One, the reciprocity to travel across multiple states legally carrying. Two, being able to NOT wait around in the LGS when buying a firearm. I just fill out the paperwork, pay them money, and I'm on my way with the firearm.
However, I do understand the rationale for NOT renewing.
1. Reciprocity
2. Faster firearm purchases
3. Passing 30.05 signs. Which I think more and more will go up.
I get the whole 2a thing as well, but them’s the law whether or not you like it. And until it changes why limit yourself. Something that I’ve had multiple discussions about with students, especially young black men is perception. Getting pulled over with a firearm and pulling out your LTC vs not having one can really make a difference in LEO interactions. Especially for them. You can put whatever spin you want on that one, but I’m just trying to be a realist. I also think in a SD situation having your LTC is always going to be more favorably viewed by a grand jury.
i tend to go from texas to fl often and having a ltc allows me to carry easy.
whereas constitutional carry does not give me that option in some states

Re: I let my LTC expire
Thanks for all the great input. To be honest, I forgot about being able to forgo the background check. I haven't purchased a firearm in a couple years. I pretty much had about every firearm I desired. Money has been tight for me.
Anyway, thanks again for the input fellows. That was exactly why I posted that. I will say that my main reason has to do with asking the governments permission to exercise a constitutional right. That has bugged me since day one.

I let my LTC expire
Now that constitutional carry has passed, I decided to allow my LTC expire. There were some "complications" I could have resolved but after thinking about it, decided not to renew. I have believed asking the government for permission to exercise my rights has been wrong all along. So for now. No LTC for me. So far I have not been forbidden carry anywhere my LTC allowed carry. It has always bothered me asking for approval to carry anyway. I may change my mind later but for now, that is what I am doing.
