I'm on the side of you NOT legally being able to put your LTC in your car and walk past a .06/.07 under Constitutional Carry... To me it's like being a Doctor, lawyer, police, etc. Just because your degree or badge isn't on you does not mean you are still not certified or licensed... Only if my license were revolked or no longer valid I'm still licensed...

12 hours round-trip, hotel, and a PTO day. I overheard one gentleman say he was from Stratford.

They couldn't give a good answer to most of the questions. You'd think the DPS would anticipate the most common questions and get the AG to make an interpretation.

I was hoping for a better answer to if an LTC could carry under "Permitless Carry" if a business posted a 30.06/30.07 sign but no 30.05.

Good luck.
Their not law makers or attorneys, so until a legal interpretation of a badly written law gets settled either through legislation or the courts there isn’t much they can say or do.

Just got of the phone with RSD and they indicated that the password was NOT going to change, so who the heck knows... She said that if it did they would most likely send out a mass email to all instructors with the new password.... Of course the site has not updated anything but we all just need to check back.

Talked with one of my colleagues who attended morning session on 10th and he stated that the seminar conducted by a private entity was a) more professional. b) more informative, and c) provided much more authoritative information. One would think that DPS would work with the AGs office to ensure they have the right legal read on what a law really means, but oh well. Hope the new test is better than the last one. I am almost embarrassed with some of the current questions.

Agree... I just checked and the new test isn't published yet.

Correct. They said by August 31 which had quite a few instructors concerned, especially the online. Plus, the password is changing so until you get your certificate you couldn't access it anyway.

Wow.. What about those of us who don't need to renew until 2023... I guess we just have to call RSD and get the new one.... Geez....

Here is a good link to the DPS site.

Thank you Sir. Very nice synopsis you put together. Some pretty interesting answers on the Q and A part. Just confirms that there are going to be some issues on constitutional carry down the road. Another good excuse to get your LTC. Even if your in the right per the law there is going to be lots of LEO out there who won’t know and you get the pleasure of a ride downtown and a court date. It’s frustrating that DPS doesn’t send out any sort of update to instructors. I didn’t know there was a new test and materials that we needed to use. I don’t have to requalify until 2023 so I would have been in the dark. Typical of DPS I guess.
