Just relocated to El Paso, advice?

[iwatts79]

Hello all, I just relocated to El Paso from Los Angeles due to my job in healthcare. Being as this is the first time I have ever lived outside of CA, was hoping to get some advice on the local gun laws, as I was interested in purchasing a firearm for home defense. I am unsure as to what I can/what to get, as I still have my CA driver's license because the company might be moving me again within the year due to extreme staffing shortages and I don;t want to complete all the paperwork for a TX DL and then have to move out of state again. I am not military, current or former, and any thoughts anyone might have, or things I should read would be welcome, thank you.

Welcome aboard from Katy, TX! Hopefully you won't have to go back to Cali and will get to stay in Texas! I would also go to the "Texas Hometown" sub-forum and post there as well in the El Paso section. There should be some folks out your way who can point you to an expert or gun shop in your area that would probably be able to advise FTF (Face-To-Face).

Welcome,

You can get anything you want , but you are going to need at least a TX DL to purchase anything.

Welcome to the Lone Star State! You have 30 days from the time you move here to register your vehicle in the state. Also, as a new resident, you are required to obtain your Texas driver license from the Texas Department of Public Safety within 90 days of moving here.

And, as stated, you're not going to buy any firearms until such time as you establish residency.

Cheers! M2

Welcome, friend!

Welcome

You may need certain items to BUY a firearm but none of those are required to fondle or rent them

Better yet maybe some of locals will take you shooting

Retired a couple of years ago from a major healthcare corp. We had a location in El Paso......Major Medical. My only advise about El Paso is don't go to Juarez!
