I am now a Texan!

[Edward Tinker]

A question I have;

I have bought and sold numerous guns the last 6-9 months and sent them all over the country. Some states like New York and Jersey, I ahve had to make sales receipts, etc. No problem, kinda expectd.

The one state with additional "requirements" from gun dealers has been Texas. e.g.

1. One was insistent that it HAD to come from an FFL 01

2. Several (in different locations) were insistent that my paperwork be VERY exact, which is fine, but no other state gun dealers have been so exact in their requirments.

3. One friend was going to send me many of his collection for me to sell, and his gun dealer was insisting that they HAD to go through them. I finally sent excerpts from the ATF that stated that C&R guns could come STRAIGHT to me (and I now have a FFL 01, so that made even less sense).


I thought Texas gun laws were a bit more lax than other states, but my feeling is that is not true?
