Most 18-20 year old's are not mature enough to posses a LTC. There are exceptions though. Depends on who you are talking about. I have a 16 year old that is more mature than most men and would be mature enough to posses an LTC. And I know 40 year olds that are not mature. Age is just a number
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

The age is still 21 for an LTC. It's 18 with a special hardship that must go through the courts and be granted by a judge. That was ruled unconstitutional. See my post above. The state of Texas allows for open carry of handguns without a license, and concealed carry with a license. To obtain a license to carry a handgun in Texas, you must meet certain requirements, including being at least 18 years old (new rule since 01/2023), having no felony convictions, and completing a handgun proficiency course. Additionally, you must provide certain documents when applying for a license a valid form of identification and a completed application form. https://texascarrycourse.com/18-and-up-license-to-carryThank you for posting this.

My son just took the class and will get his CHL in 4-6 weeks.
His grandfather gave him a Glock, ammo, holsters, a gun safe for his apartment, and a gun safe for his car.
He is an engineering student at TAMU and a commercial pilot at 19. He is very level headed.

Not from a licensed gun dealer.
Is this because the decision was a district court ruling and not a SC ruling?

He lives in an apartment that bans carrying in common areas in their lease. He never uses those common areas, so not a deal. He is moving and the new complex does not.

How would they ever know he was carrying in a common area? I would just keep my personal business to myself and not worry about moving unless he is looking to move. Only issue I could see if a police officer tries to be policy enforcement instead of Law Enforcement in case something ever went down.
