LOL, Actually I am, lived in Texas for 12 years, but haven't looked into buying a pistol until now. Growing up hunting my gun's were always given to me, and I haven't hunted since I moved here so I haven't looked into gun laws until recently, and even at that is was all based on laws about carrying, not the actual purchase. I just assumed I'd by the gun from a dealer and they'd handle all the legalities.Rex B wrote:mtbiker, you ain't from around these parts, are ya??
Relax. You're in God's Country now.
We ain't free, but we're closer than a lot of other places.
As others have said, if you wish to buy from an individual, all it takes is a willing seller and a buyer with the correct amount of cash.
The law only says you cannot knowingly sell a firearm to someone who cannot legally own one - a minor, a felon, a certified nutcase are 3 such prohibited persons.
As a seller you are under no requirement to check out every buyer. Just use common sense.
And if a buyer has a CHL, that's all you need to know.
Buy the Glock if that is what you want.
IANAL etc
One thing I've learned, and learned the hard way is to always VERIFY what poeple tell you about the Law. (Like, in the the State of Texas you CAN get two tickets in the SAME day for not having a current inspection on your car! :)) I was amazed to learn at the CHL class this weekend the amount of wrong information I've received from current CHL holders. I guess they just aren't keeping up on the laws.
Great info! Thanks for the help.
