This means that individuals who are determined to be a risk to public safety are not allowed to have an LTC. Additionally, many LTC holders are required to undergo training and education on safety and responsible gun ownership, which may make them more aware of the risks involved in committing a crime with a firearm.
Finally, many LTC holders have a heightened perception of risk and responsibility when it comes to owning a firearm. They are aware that if they use a firearm inappropriately, they could face criminal prosecution and the loss of their LTC. This may deter them from committing a crime.
