The Benefits of Basic and Advanced Firearms Training: Why Every Gun Owner Should Invest in Continued Education

Introduction

From the Team at Red Zone LTC

Earning your Texas License to Carry (LTC) is a major accomplishment—and a key step toward being a responsible gun owner. But at Red Zone LTC, we believe carrying with confidence takes more than just passing the state-required course. That’s why we encourage every LTC student to pursue both basic and advanced firearms training.

Whether you’re brand new to handguns or looking to sharpen your defensive skills, continued training helps you become safer, smarter, and more prepared.

🔴 1. Start with a Solid Foundation: Basic Firearms Training

Our LTC course covers the fundamentals, but personalized basic training takes your skills to the next level.

Basic Training Helps You:

•Master firearm safety rules that save lives

•Learn proper grip, stance, sight alignment, and trigger control

•Gain hands-on practice with loading, unloading, and malfunction clearing

•Build confidence for the range qualification test and everyday carry

•Feel fully in control of your handgun, whether it’s a revolver or semi-auto

If you’re new to shooting, this is the best place to start. If you’ve had some experience, it’s a great way to refine the basics and eliminate bad habits.

🔴 2. Know the Law: LTC and Legal Education

As an LTC holder in Texas, you have legal responsibilities every time you carry your firearm in public.

Our Legal Training Covers:

•Texas use-of-force and self-defense laws

•Where and when you can legally carry

•The legal aftermath of a defensive shooting

•What to say (and not say) to law enforcement after an incident

LTC training introduces these concepts, but advanced legal instruction ensures you truly understand your rights—and your limits.

🔴 3. Move Beyond the Range: Advanced Defensive Handgun Training

Passing the LTC shooting test is one thing. Defending yourself in a real-world threat is another.

Advanced Training Includes:

•Drawing from concealment safely and efficiently

•Shooting on the move and using cover

•Managing malfunctions under stress

•Making quick, smart decisions in shoot/no-shoot scenarios

•Training in low-light conditions for real-world readiness

These skills can’t be developed in a classroom alone—they require hands-on defensive training under the guidance of experienced instructors.

🔴 4. Confidence Through Continued Training

At Red Zone LTC, we believe in helping our students become more than just “legal to carry.” We help you become capable, competent, and confident.

Continued Training Benefits:

•Keeps your skills sharp and up-to-date

•Connects you with a community of responsible gun owners

•Offers pathways to advanced certifications and instructor-level education

•Builds the muscle memory and mindset to respond effectively under pressure

Because when it comes to protecting yourself or your family, “just enough” isn’t good enough.
