Good point.

My daughter has been using guns since she was 6 years old. We keep a shot gun at home for security and she is well trained in using it. I hadn't considered signing her up for a concealed carry permit.

Does anyone know if minors can get concealed carry permits in Texas?

You have to be 21 to get a concealed carry in Texas.

No. No state in the nation allows a minor to carry a FIREARM concealed, nor should they. I'm a firearms instructor, I'm also a high school teacher. TRUST ME, I see them everyday. None of them have the maturity to make a life and death decision like this and not get themselves or an innocent injured or killed. In any case, it would also behoove you to remember that the PARENTS are LIABLE for the TORTS of the child.

My daughter turned 21 four days ago. To celebrate the happy occasion, I made her the gift of her very own Ruger SP101 .357 magnum revolver (3"bbl) DAO, with custom strong side hip holster and a FL CCW. But I taught her to shoot when she was TEN. Although from that time to this, I would NEVER have asked her to make a life and death decision she might have to live with the rest of her life. Now, however, she's ready....having a bit of life experience being on her own at a university upstate from us.

No doubt about it...this was a miracle....the literal hand of God was upon this child.
