Hey Guys and Gals,
I recently entered the military and my first station is here in San Antonio. As a new LT, I did not receive PCS orders, I am under EAD (entering active duty) orders, similar to a reserve or guard member being called up as far as I know. I have bought firearms before in California as a civilian so I am used to paperwork head issues.
I went in to pickup a transferred pistol lower and they could not process me due to having an out of state license, even though I have the EAD orders, military ID, texas hunting license and a utility statement with matching addresses here in texas. I am in the process of getting my ccw (pending background check as of 2 weeks ago) as they said they should (?) be able to process with that even though I do not have a texas ID. I have looked into getting a texas ID but that will take 4 to 6 weeks after the DPS opens up again. Any advice? I have another transfer pending that should take 2 weeks to get here but I do not want to be that guy that has a firearm collecting dust on valuable storage space.
