New guy here so please be kind.
I'm moving to Texas in a few months. I'm coming from NJ and am fairly up to date on NJ firearms sale/possession law. Texas is a VERY different place. If anyone can give a Reader's Digest synopsis of what is gtg as far as private sales I'd really appreciate it.
And, honestly, how do I purchase from a FFL? What paperwork do I need when I walk in, etc?
I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and don't want to be completely ignorant when I get down there.
Thanks a bunch.
The main peculiarity in Texas is that it is perfectly "legal" to carry long guns most places, but open carry of handguns has byzantine restrictions, even for those licensed. The new "Constitutional Concealed Carry" Law is great, but has its set of restrictions. a knowledgeable person on here just posted about this here; please review the discussions on that "forum". Just don't do anything stupid and you'll be OK. Never hide that you have a weapon from a L E O.
Welcome to the South ! The South has risen again, and is led by Texas this time.
