Since the permitless carry law passed in 2021, Texans have not needed a license to carry a gun. But gun instructors and some gun owners still see the benefits in taking the classes necessary to obtain a license.
Before permitless carry was signed into law, Texans generally needed to be licensed to carry handguns openly or concealed. Applicants had to submit fingerprints, complete four to six hours of in-person training and pass a written exam and a shooting proficiency test. As far as rifles go, Texas does not require a license to openly carry one in public.about the loosening of restrictions for handgun ownership.
The demographics of those receiving licenses have remained relatively the same, except for Black Texans. The number of Black Texans issued gun licenses rose steeply throughout the last seven years, going from 24,758 in 2016 to 28,359 in 2018 and then surging to 58,858 in 2020. The number dipped slightly in 2021 and is around the same as it was six years ago.
Cargill, the gun instructor and gun shop owner in Austin, said if gun owners ever have to interact with the police, it’s helpful to have a license. “Permitless carry is still so fresh, and there’s still some uncertainty about how it will all work with reciprocity agreements and just generally where they can carry,” Reuben said. “People might want to wait until there’s greater awareness of exactly where the lines are drawn.”
Although Molina is already a gun owner, he said obtaining a license is about being sure of the laws and maintaining his safety in high-stress situations. Price noted that carrying a gun is about responsibility, and he tells his students that the last thing they want to do is use a gun.
