My supposition is that the judge/prosecutor designation is more than just an honorific. It actually comes with the ability to carry in 46.03 prohibited locations, which a judge/prosecutor would not have the ability to do without a license. The LEO designation just gets you a discount and the ability to avoid taking the class or shooting qual IIRC. By being a Texas LEO you get the authority to carry with or without LTC. Although theoretically LTC allows you to carry off duty in a Federal GFSZ without fear of roving ATF agents and AUSA’S with a bad attitude.Smokey613 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 10:54 am Earlier this year, I ran our city prosecutor through the qualification course and signed off on the form to allow him to obtain a LTC without taking the classroom portion as well as a reduced fee of $25. I am not a LTC Instructor but I am a TCOLE certified Firearms Instructor so I was able to do this for him. Anyway, my real question is, when he got his license in, he came by my office to show me his new license. I noticed on it was a designation of Judge / Prosecutor. A friend of mine has the Veteren designation on his. I recently renewed mine and did it under the Active Texas Peace Officer form. I was hoping my license would have a "special" designation on it too. My wife at the same time finally applied for her LTC under the same criteria as me as she has 28+ years as a LEO. To my surprise, neither of our new LTC have any special verbage on them. I was dissapointed to say the least. I know, it's not a big deal but dissapointed me anyway.
