Things You May Not Know

While browsing Central Texas Gun Works website (the one who got the AG to file suit against Austin's gun ban) Hidden at the bottom was something I didn't know. If you are in the military and between 18 and 21 you can get a Texas CHL.

Don't know how you are going to buy it or ammunition but you can carry it.

That’s why some states won’t reciprocate Texas’s LTC

I believe, in TX an 18 year old can be given a handgun or buy one in a private transaction.

As for ammo, I’ve never shown ID to buy ammo. Do stores prevent 18 year olds from buying handgun ammo?

They have asked me if ammo was for a handgun before, usually just 22 ammo though.

I am 18 years old a couple times so it wasn't a question if I am old enough.

There is a rifle and handgun available in pretty much every caliber so I don't know why it is even a question though.

I was ID for ammo a month or so ago at Walmart. Said they don’t sell ammo to people under 18

Gilbert they were just trying to make you feel good. Like when they ask for ID for me to buy beer, sheesh they need glasses, I'm over 70.

^This. Long ago. And seems like I had to sign some document or list confirming that the .22LR was for a long gun.

I was given a .22 SA revolver when I was ~10.
Don't exactly remember when, birthday or Christmas present.
Came with a handtooled holster and belt.

From 1968 to 1986 dealers had to log all pistol ammo as well as .22 ammo. Name and address of the buyer.

Thankfully the FOPA of '86 got rid of that nonsense.

Thank you.

Federal law Prevents under 21 from buying a handgun from a licensed dealer. However I see nothing mentioned about private sales or a hangun being gifted to them.
Unless the law has recently changed in Texas there is no law imposing a minimum age to possess ammo unless that person is a felon.

I have been buying ammo here in Texas for a while and it has never been logged out. Now a company can require that but Texas does not.
