I have a question about legality of stripped lower receiver laws.

[hectorch0]

Im 19 years old reside in Tarrant county, i own a 18 inch ar15 but have grown an interest in building an ar pistol to have as a truck gun but i am trying to figure out the availability for a 19 year old to buy a stripped lower receiver on its own as of now. Would i be able to go to the same gun dealer i bought my rifle from and buy just the stripped lower receiver?

Handguns​

As of 2021, people who qualify under the law can carry a handgun in a public place in Texas without a license to carry (LTC). Texans can still apply for an LTC since it may carry additional benefits. See our License to Carry page for more info.

Requirements​

Sections 46.02 and 46.04 of the Texas Penal Code describe unlawful carry and possession of a firearm. Generally, to carry a handgun in public in Texas without an LTC, a person must not:

• be restricted from possessing a firearm under federal law as described in 18 United States Code Section 922
• have a prior felony conviction as described in Texas Penal Code Section 46.04
• have a recent conviction for certain types of misdemeanors as described in Sections 46.02 and 46.04
• be subject to an unexpired protective order as described in Section 46.04(c)
• be intoxicated, except in certain situations as described in Section 46.02(a-6)

Age Restrictions​

Texas law sets the age requirement to carry a gun at 21 years of age. A 2022 federal court case, Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc. et. al., v. Steven McCraw, et. al., challenged the constitutionality of this restriction. The court ruled that 18-to-20-year-olds may not be prosecuted under this restriction based solely on their age.


As a result of this case, DPS stated that they would no longer deny applications for LTCs solely on the basis that the applicants are 18-to-20 years old.

Stripped lowers are not transferred as rifles. You'd have to be 21.

Stripped lowers are not transferred as rifles. You'd have to be 21.

So where is the age restrictions on a other listed.

and how about private party

There’s always the gun show loophole.

Stripped lowers? How about striped lowers?
