I'm a newbie here. I just recently got my CHL and have become an FFF (female firearms fanatic

Does anyone know of any good places to get licensed anywhere in North Texas?
Thanks in advance!

Oddly, you'll find better luck starting with a series of CAD/CAM courses, which lead to CNC-style machining. There might be some other, better ways, but I am not very wise in these things. You've sucked all the advice I can give out of my tiny noggin alreadyB3XD wrote:OK, in the meanwhile does anyone know of a good school that teaches machining skills in the Houston area? HCC supposedly has an Industrial Technology or a Machine Shop assistant program but I can't find adequate detail when I go to their web site. What goes? Any one know?
What sort of details do you want? classes? degree programs and certificates?B3XD wrote:HCC supposedly has an Industrial Technology or a Machine Shop assistant program but I can't find adequate detail when I go to their web site. What goes? Any one know?
I thought all you had to do to get the license was fill out forms and pay the fees.packinmama wrote:Does anyone know of any good places to get licensed anywhere in North Texas?

Ha! FFL does _not_ equal "gunsmith", although you can (and should) indicate you do gunsmithing (unless, of course, you NEVER intend to). Again, there's a difference between being an "armorer" and a "gunsmith." Many FFLs have some experience level as armorers.tbrown wrote:I thought all you had to do to get the license was fill out forms and pay the fees.packinmama wrote:Does anyone know of any good places to get licensed anywhere in North Texas?

Texas does not regulate gunsmithing. Any FFL can hang a shingle under his door that says, "Gunsmith". Ironically, if you said "Weapons Engineer" without professional engineering licensing, THEN you would be in hot water in Texas.tbrown wrote:There's many different training and experience that may be desirable, depending on the firearm and the work done, but I don't know any that's required to get licensed in Texas. Am I wrong?
