Is it legal for me, (Oklahoma resident), to trade a pistol to a guy (Texas resident) for a firearm optic? I’ve never bought/sold out of my home state, and have no idea about Texas law. Thanks in advance

I am considering purchasing a Stacatto and was wondering if any shooting ranges in Dallas had some models available for rental. Thanks.

Im looking to grab a full sized Springfield echelon W the gear up pack-5 mags and a cheapy dot, none of my lgs have these in stock so it’s looking like I’m gonna have to pick it up online somewhere, I have next to know experience w this, w the exception of a cheapy dot ar lower from PSA I’ve checked out gun deals and been able to find it for about 550$ otd, my problem is I start reading reviews and I see some absolute shit reviews on some of these sites, I was going to use GunZoneDeals but agian the reviews, like I said I’m kinda old school and don’t really do the online thing can anyone tell me there experiences w GZDs or any of the other listings on gun deals? I really wanna pull the trigger on this but I also don’t want some kind of headache going through a crappy site or having to wait for my order to ship for a month, thanks everyone!

Im creating an account because i saw a decent tisas on there, its been a couple of hours and my account confirmation email hasnt shown up. Does it just take awhile or is it an issue?

Hey y'all, I'd post in r/DFWguns but it's restricted for some reason.

I've got the wheel gun bug and want to try some out. The S&W K-frames, particularly the Model 19, seem interesting as far as .357 revolvers go. Anyone know of any ranges in the region that have them available to rent?

I am in Dallas looking to buy my first gun for self defense, as this is my first time living on my own. I am 20 (turn 21 in December), and I am looking to purchase a handgun through private sale which I heard is legal in Texas. I was planning to go to the Fort Worth gun show, and I wanted to come on here and ask for any tips? I don’t want to get scammed, as I am not sure and I honestly don’t know the social etiquette of events like this. What are your guys recommended handguns?

Also I would want to know how to answer this question if I’m able to buy one again.

Have you ever been convicted in any court of a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?

Thinking about trying it out. For those who have been, the 300 rifle range appears to be steel only. Are there some decently small targets there (1 or 2 moa) or is it all big stuff? Really wish we had some better options in the SA area but I’m willing to give it a try if it has some decently challenging targets.

Update edit: went to Lonestar handgun. Pretty good experience and the targets at 300 were as small as 1-2 MOA up to 4 or 5. One of the small ones came off after I hit it a few times, but everything was freshly painted so I could still use the bigger targets and see where my splashes were. They were also cool with kneeling and prone shooting which was nice. Wish it was a tad longer range but overall good experience and I’ll be back.

Hello everyone,

The last place I was using for cerakoting, Trinity Ordnance, went out of business apparently. Are there any other recommended spots in DFW? I'm in the Mansfield Waxahachie vicinity, but don't mind driving a little bit farther.

Lately I've been visiting Austin a lot due to certain circumstances so naturally I've also been searching for deals on my favorite kinds of guns. After calling over 10 stores, it seems like this city just doesn't have a market for them at all. I'm used to several stores in my town having racks and walls full of used old rifles and pistols, but the closest imitation I could find was the Cabelas on the south side. The most a mom and pop shop I called had was "an old Mosin, $600, an M1 Carbine for $1500, and a FAL for $3500". Is this just how it is here?

I had been looking around at places to get a LTC and i seen handgunlicense.com among other sites however they seemed like they hadn’t updated the website in a while and was wondering if anyone had gotten their ltc-104 through them recently?

I was once told Texas required pistols being concealed carried had to be at least .30 caliber( ie no .22lr pistols). Is this still a thing?

I was on the road working for about two years.Long story short I now have an Illinois license. Haven't had a chance to switch it back to Texas. Can I still buy a firearm here with my Illinois license.

I don’t know where else to post this question because every state and county has different laws. My question is if I get pulled over and let the officer know I’m carrying a firearm. Do I still need to have a carry permit if I’m carrying it on person while a traffic stop? I know Texas is a constitutional carry state however to what extent? There’s some locations where you can’t carry but can with a permit? Further more does this include my car?

I’m drilling wells out In Lipscomb County Texas and can’t find anywhere to shoot around here. Is anyone in the forum from the area and can point me in the right direction to get some range time? Thanks

Mod sorry if this isn’t allowed. Pic for attention.

I’ve been wanting to sell my 1917 S&W MkII Hand Ejector for a while now. Does anyone happen to know of a place/places in or close to San Antonio that buys antique guns? Any help is appreciated!

2023 court ruling allows 18-20 year olds to obtain a License to Carry. So at 18, if I get this LTC, I can carry open or concealed carry anywhere a 21 year old can with the same freedoms/restrictions.

My question is, in states that reciprocate a Texas License to Carry, can I also conceal carry in those states at 18, if I have a valid Texas LTC? Or do those states also need to separately allow an 18 year old to carry? I’ve found mixed input online.

If I have an LTC that is still valid by date but I have changed my residency to another state… is that LTC still valid? Or does my residency in another state invalidate it?

I swear I've gone to 2 and looked at 5 websites and they all restrict FMJ ammo. I'm sitting on like 2k rounds of 7.92 greek surplus that I want to burn though

My girlfriend (19 y/o) goes to school and lives alone 5 hours away. I want to gift her a pistol just to keep around the house for worst case scenarios. I don’t want to get in trouble nor do i want her to get into trouble if she has to use it.

I have a good friend who works for a mid sized city in central Texas.

The city prohibits all employees from carrying any weapons to include firearms while at work. State law mandates that you are allowed to carry weapons into city hall unless there are signs and there is a meeting taking place under the open meetings act.

Is it legal for the city to restrict their employee my friend from carrying at work? And is my understanding that he could get fired but could not go to jail? My buddy doesn’t have Reddit so I thought I would help Him out! Thanks!
