Lifetime License To Carry a Handgun.
LTCH is the frequent short form. Lifetime licenses are fairly new, and you can still choose a four year license if you like.
In Iowa its a "Permit to Carry Weapons" (PCW). Allows open carry inside city limits, and conceled carry everywhere else.
The Tn law used to be concealed carry permit. It was changed by the legislatureto HCP hand gun carry permit. You can and are totally legal to carry open if you choose to do so.
