I am 19 years old, I am a full time resident of Texas. As of September 1, 2019, HB918 stated that you can apply for an LTC between 18-20 years old if you fall under very strict eligibility requirements. I do not fall under those requirements at all and still got my LTC. How?? what's the legality of me carrying my legally purchased handgun?? (Bought through a private sale not restricted in this state)

I have been looking for a 1911 that comes with night sights from factory. I know the very high end 1911 do but does anyone know of some that are 1400 and down on price.

Requirements of what I am really looking for if needed 1911 3 inch barrel 45ACP Night Sights Lower than 1,400 price tag.

I’ve tried Texas Gun Trader and everyone on there is a scammer. I don’t have any family that will sell me a gun. Is it even possible? Do i just have to suck it up and buy a rifle or wait?

Anybody know any gun stores in DFW that sell rarer surplus ammo types such as 8mm mauser & 6.5x55 swede? thank you!

Just picked up a gun today I ordered online guy took my LTC but I forgot my LTC says APT not Unit. I put Unit on the 4473… is this a massive issue? They’re closed now but I thought about this today… I have the gun no issues arose at the store.

It seems like the question of "after I complete differed adjudicated probation can I own a gun?" I am aware that I can and own a few. My question is based around the NFA laws and how those may have a wrench thrown in them by my criminal history.

September 9th, I purchased a suppressor From Griffin Armament and signed my individual form 4 digitally through Capitol Armory based out of Cedar Park (Austin area). I have been seeing people get approvals with criminal history as fast as 5 days (anecdotal I know but still pisses me off a little). I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience with long wait times for an NFA item since the process has been sped up over the last year, especially if you have any sort of marks on your criminal history. Any info is helpful because the general consensus that I have heard is buy and forget until the approval comes in, which smells like infringement to me. If you have had those longer wait times is there anything that you did that sped the process up for you at all? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I took the course on 09/15/2024, got my fingerprints done on 09/24/2024, and I left it as that, since work was catching up to me alot, and really didn't think much of the LTC license, today that I check and I try to submit the paper the LTC-104, it tells me to apply for instructor certification, which I don't want to lol.

What can i do on my end to fix this, only thing i have done is the fingerprints, and course.

i click
handgun licensing -> submit docs (applicants only).

Not going to lie might consider mailing this piece of paper out, because honestly it's been a while.

if anyone knows a solution please let me know thank you!.

Have a smaller amount of ammo, (around 1k rounds of a few calibers) how to find people that might want it?

I’m traveling to San Antonio for a week and staying on a military base where I can’t have a gun on me. Is there any place I could store it locally while I’m visiting?

Was curious if a summer biathlon version of the winter Olympic event exists? Not sure the logistics of distance running with a rifle strapped around your back but it would be fun to participate in an event like this if it existed!

Opening brief here.

Wilson points out that 18 USC § 922(o) criminalizes the possession of post-1986 machineguns, which flies in the face of the portion "to keep (and bear) arms" of 2A's text.

Trump appointee Mark Pittman held that Wilson failed his as-applied challenge because he misused the machine gun, which Wilson thought that it is incorrect, as he cites to US v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458 (5th Cir. 2024), which held that conduct outside the elements of the challenge statute didn't bear on its constitutionality, even as applied to the defendant. The judge instead should have asked whether the constitution permits the government to ban the possession of a machinegun, which is the limit of the statutory prohibition at issue.

Judge Pittman then cites Hollis v. Lynch, 827 F.3d 436, 451 (5th Cir. 2016), which held that full autos are unusual weapons outside the scope of 2A protection. Hollis said that those are unusual because at that time, there were 175,977 pre-1986 civilian owned machine guns per this FOIA request. Wilson then tries to counter the "unusual" status by saying that there are 741,146 registered full autos in total (which in my opinion is a bit of a stretch).

Wilson then even says that this number is rather a floor because there are firearms that meet the machinegun definition after factoring in the switch.

Anyway, Wilson finally takes the historical jab by pointing that 2A doesn't permit any prohibition on the mere possession of bearable arms, unusual or otherwise. If anything, they were really scant at best.

On a side note, I am thinking of making a list of Trump judges who should not be elevated because of their anti-2A rulings.

If I’m not 21 can I carry a handgun? Do I need an ltc or not?

When I was younger (17) I was put into a mental institution for a couple days involuntary due to a poor choice of words that I shouldn’t have said, around the time of Covid, it’s been a couple years now and I’m looking to buy a gun, but I’m unsure if it gets in the way or not, some places I read says I have to apply for an Appeal and others say I should be able to, I’ve been to the range and shit with my friends and such, I just don’t own my own, I just don’t really want to go apply somewhere and get rejected and have some problem with it come up

Got a junk car in Kyle and just need it gone. Take it for free. Don’t run so it would have to be towed. If you are close enough I might be able to pay for towing.

Friend has a deffered felony and successfully completed probation charge was non violent and she says happened more then 10 years ago. She is also scared to buy a gun because she thinks she might go to jail for trying. Can she legally buy a gun?

Bought the wrong ammo and realized when I got home. Not sure why I didn’t realize it was 7.62x51 and not 39. Well wife won’t let me get another gun so need to see where I can sell it.

I have been talking to some people about a reputable place to buy my first gun in San Antonio. I have a few people telling me to avoid Academy. Has anyone had issues with Academy before? I’ve been to a few shops already and the gun I currently want I’ve only found it at one place, but they had just sold it. I have found it at Academy, but some people are saying that they’ve had issues buying firearms in the past from academy and so they don’t buy there anymore. I just was trying to find some guidance on whether I should keep trying to look at shops or since I know they have it at academy. Just go and get it from there.
