Anyone know anything yet? Wife read some of it to me and sounds interesting. Texas residents can buy firearms and ammo in ANY state starting September 1st!! Sounds like a winner to me!Some of the seat belt regs suck though.

Wow.........that would be great! Just missed a deal at a pawn shop in Arkansas a couple of weeks ago because I was not a resident.

Just did a Google search on SB 1188 and got a bill about medicare.

SB 1188 authorizes a Texas resident to buy firearms, ammunition or firearms accessories in any other state, not just those contiguous to Texas, to reflect updated federal statutes.

Damn Google search anyway! Thanks MWM for the link.........hope this is final word. It will be awesome to be able to buy firearms in another state. I guess if you have a CHL you can just pay, fill out the form and walk out?

I wonder if it will affect buying online any as well.

I don't know. But, remember that federal law comes in to that equation.

 

[yooper_sjd]

well, guess we will find out about buying online, been new to texas I was not aware of such restrictions, but I ordered some surplus ammo, will see if it gets here this week.

Sb 1188

My question is will the other state's laws prohibit you from buying in their state?

 

[SiscoKid]

I don't think I would try walking down the street in Times Square packing a weapon.

Your ammo will get to you.

Buying firearms on line....

No problem. Have a friend who buys from Buds somewhat regularly. Ships to a Texas FFL of his choosing, THEN the paperwork is handled in Texas. In that case, it was a Texas purchase as far as law was concerned.

Buying in person was a different situation...
BG check and transfer took place in a different state.

That's the distinction.

New law...NOW can effect transfer in person in other states.

The old law was as a Texan we could only purchase in contiguous States now the State lets us purchase in any state that that allows non resident purchases
