I have one question though why do you need/want a Class A LTC Most PDs won't issue a Class A unless you can document why you need one.

It depends on the Chief. If the Chief is pro-Bill of Rights, the applicant is more likely to get an ALP Class A LTC as long as there is nothing that would disqualify them from obtaining one. If the Chief is anti-Bill of Rights, the applicant has a better chance of seeing the sky turn green than getting an ALP Class A LTC. I believe this was one of the big issues in the last gubernatorial election.

Everyone that knows me here knows I am a gun nut, excuse me, firearms enthusiast. I am all for plain ole non-cops getting their LTC and using it like a RESPONSIBLE ADULT, or to defend themself. Just my $.02
