Additionally, LTC holders are required to complete a training and education program prior to obtaining a license. This program covers topics such as firearm safety and the law, providing LTC holders with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely handle a firearm. Finally, LTC holders may have a higher perception of risk and responsibility associated with the use of a firearm, which could impact their likelihood of engaging in criminal activities.

This is likely due to the extensive background check and training requirements for obtaining an LTC, as well as the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders. These findings suggest that LTC holders may be more law-abiding than non-LTC holders, which could have important implications for the safety of the community.
