Are 30.06 and 30.07 the only signs I need to look for as a licensed holder?

I got my license to carry before COVID but most recently I've been seeing 30.08 signs saying no one can carry even if they're licensed but all I can find on that law is 30.08 "Order of Transfer". I'm not sure how this is applicable but maybe laws changed and I just want not aware of it.

Can I still conceal carry inside a business as long as there's not 30.06 sign or the business does not fall under the 51% rule or has things changed? TIUA

Is there a waiting period to buy a handgun/long gun at 21?

Last I remembered there was a waiting period if you were younger than 21, has this changed recently?

Edit: I’m turning 21 soon I completely forgot to mention, this stemmed from a convo from me and a friend whose also soon to be 21 lol

Since we have no BLM land, where can I go shoot?

My dad used to take me out to dried creekbeds and woods near Lavon or Caddo mills, but it's all neighborhoods now. Sad face. Just want to go somewhere and not be bothered by some fudd range officer. I know they're there for safety and all, but frankly, I've been shooting all my life and can confidently fire more than 1 round every 3 seconds without hurting anybody lol. Are there still any non- city limits areas like that where it's legal, or do I need to drive to a western state?😂

Buying pistol in San Antonio, TX with CA DL or Passport

Just want a sanity check for my scenario, I am flying into San Antonio this weekend looking to purchase a Glock 19 Gen 5. My problem is I still hold a CA drivers license (never switched over due to military) but believe I can use my military ID in lieu of this?

I have a passport Mortgage bill to my house in San Antonio Texas motorcycle and 2 cars registration in Bexar county

Will I have any issues? I am assuming I can't buy from an individual, but was looking to get a new Gen5 Glock19.

Best place to list something rare

I'm considering selling what I've been told is a rare rifle. It's a pre-ban Dragunov Tiger. Is TGT the best place for something like this or would I get a better result on Gun Broker? I've only ever sold to shops or individuals and haven't used either of those sites before.

LTC courses + test?

I'm thinking of get getting my LTC since I've been concealing for a bit without it. Still debating whether I want to take the mandatory course at my gun range which includes the proficiency test or taking it online and take the test somewhere.

I was looking at what the proficiency test covers on YouTube and it looks like it's just shooting a target from certain distances and get graded on score. Like this https://youtu.be/nQy9IiX1owQ?si=dg4d0Mn-UbSMl2AI

Is that pretty much what it covers?

Long range near central TX???

I’m looking for a place to shoot long range near central Texas, preferably between Austin and Waco/the surrounding areas. My local ranges only go to 100 yards. I’d like to find a place to go out to 1000 yards or so. I know of two places in Marble Falls and another place in Navasota. Are there any other places within a reasonable driving distance from the temple/belton/killeen area to shoot long range? TIA

Austin gun safe purchase / installation?

Any recommendations here? Moving into a new house and need to get a gun safe that can hold 6-7 riles / shotguns plus ammo. Think it's best to buy one separately and have it installed or buy one from someone that can do it both?

Concealed carry question

i’m in a “argument” with a friend who’s parents seem freaked out about them owning a gun (21) , do you LEGALLY need a holster to carry a concealed handgun? If it’s fully concealed does it LEGALLY need to be in a holster?

Can I get my license to carry without having a court order (19m)

I read online that in order to have a ltc in Texas you need to be 21+ OR have a court issued order stating that you are being abused or something if you are 18-20. I do not have an order and therefore am confused if I can have my ltc or not. is there anyone in here that is between 18-20 that was able to get their LTC without an order? I already completed my course but just need to do the in person part.

How to sell reloading stuff

My dad passed away and he was into reloading. He was really sick toward the end but bought more stuff anyhow so I have quite a bit that’s new in box. (I’m not looking for new in box money, just stating the used quality of items I have)

A lot of it’s heavy, and there’s a lot of it. Everything from consumables like primers and shells to scales and powder dispensers and stuff.

Is this something I should list individually somewhere like eBay or is it better to put the lot up on somewhere like Texas Gun Trader, or do I categorize it and list it in little groups?

I’m not looking to get every single penny out of it, I would just like both parties to have gotten a fair deal and for it to not be a huge pita.

I’m in Cypress

Moving to Texas from Louisiana

Been here since July 1st and have established residence. I still have a home in Louisiana. Have not applied for a Texas DL. What else is required for me to be able to purchase a firearm at a retailer here in Texas? I possess a CCL in LA and will get one here in TX just to expedite purchases once I know what else is needed.

FFL not responding

I bought a gun online and got it transferred to a local ffl. The reviews for this business are quite good and it’s close to where I live. However, its appointment only. Two weeks ago, the gun arrived. I contacted the dealer and I was able to go there. However, there was an issue with not having the proper identification. I had a passport and proof of residence. He told me he’ll only accept Texas id/license. But he told me he would hold onto it for up to 3 weeks and to keep him updated on the situation. I was ok with that and I immediately got it sorted the next day. I’ve been keeping him updated while I’ve been waiting on my license to show up in the mail.

It finally shows up and I sent a message informing him and for him to call me, so that an appointment can be set up. A while goes by so I call and there was no answer. I wait a little while longer, called again and no answer. I should also mention this was during the hours that his business is supposed to be “open” that he has listed on google. I wait all day to see if I’ll get a call back, but it never came. Also, I follow this business on instagram. As soon as I open my instagram I see that the dealer had just posted something an hour ago while at his place of business. So, my first thought is, am I purposely being ignored?

What should I do in this situation?
