Alamo City Self Defense

Alamo City Self Defense LLC specializes in getting Texans licensed to carry without the anxiety that comes with most range environments. Their Texas License to Carry (LTC) class runs about 4.5 hours total and includes range time. Instructors are certified by the NRA, USCCA, and Texas DPS.

Here's what separates them: they run a relaxed classroom and use a private shooting range reserved strictly for their students. New shooters are their specialty. No mixing inexperienced shooters with veterans on the firing line—no unnecessary stress, fewer failures.

Texas permitless carry is legal, but an LTC removes restrictions: you can carry openly or concealed without limitations, avoid the gun-free zone complications, and get reciprocity in other states. Alamo City makes getting licensed straightforward and stress-free.
