I'm not a lawyer, nor an FFL. My understanding is that it's a Federal law that prevents an 18-20 yo from purchasing a handgun from an FFL, not a Texas law. If I recall correctly, the Federal law doesn't prohibit an 18-20 yo from individual/private purchases not involving an FFL. I'm pulling this out of my "fourth point of contact", so if I'm incorrect someone please cite what the Federal & State laws are & I'll gladly delete this to avoid misinformation...Boxerrider wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 6:32 am Somebody please correct me if I get part of this wrong.
This was a state case about preventing people 18-20 from legally carrying. In Texas, 18-20 year-olds can buy a handgun from an individual.
No handgun sales to people under 21 is a federal law, which applies to dealers. I think there are cases concerning this in the works, although I can't cite one off the top of my head.
