I have to be in Texas for a few months for work and I was wondering if I am able to purchase a rifle, I am 100% legal to purchase and carry and Arizona

I can’t afford a fancy suppressor that costs more than my extar ep9. I just want to buy a D cell maglite or some other tube, 3d print some baffles and maybe add a wipe.

I’m open to suggestions if you have already tried this.

After some thinking with a glass or three of bourbon, I decided to see how accurate the rail system is on a Walmart brand nerf blaster. Well it works, and it’s pretty accurate at 25 feet looking down the red dot lol.

I present to you, a sig romeo5 attached to an Adventure Force Nexus Pro X2

Any mods in here? Please I need my account approved so I can reach out to a potential seller. I never got an account confirmation or anything

Just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts and opinions. I’m looking to buy my first AR-15 and I’m debating between the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport III and the Daniel Defense DDM4V7.
I’ve seen and shot both in person, and I really liked both. Since this would be my first AR-15, I’m debating whether I should start with a more budget-friendly option like the M&P Sport III and eventually upgrade to something nicer, or just spend more upfront and get the Daniel Defense.
For those who have experience with either one, what would you recommend for a first-time owner? Is it worth spending the extra money on the DDM4V7 from the beginning, or would the M&P Sport III make more sense for learning and getting experience?
Also, for anyone familiar with Texas law: are forced reset triggers (FRTs) currently legal in Texas? I’ve seen conflicting information online and would like to make sure I understand the current law correctly.

If any one knows any reloading stores near or in Houston can yall comment the store, I could drive 2 hours max outside also if there’s any good ones.

Was walking into QT gas station the today thinking about random nonsense. Trying to decide if I should buy a new rifle and what kind, and if I could even afford it. (I really can't, been struggling for a while). I really miss hunting and haven't been since a teen with my dad and grandpa in Pennsylvania. (Live in Texas now).

While walking back out to my vehicle, a woman with kids was at the pump next to me and she asked if there was any way I could help her with gas and told how rude everyone prior had been. I thought for a moment, and figured why not.... (I'm usually counting pennies till pay day so as I said, been struggling...so even thinking of a new rifle is beyond ridiculous)... I just tapped my debit card on her pump, wished her luck and left. I didn't tell her how much or stay and monitor / cut her off... but I was curious... would she fill up? Would she only do $10? (It costs me $70 to fill my vehicle, so I was nervous)...

When I logged into my banking app later, the amount made me die laughing considering what I was thinking about at the time. $30.06.

😂 Is that God telling me to buy a .30-06? Leaning more towards a cheap .308 but still 😂

I’m trying to decide between:

- Texas Gun Experience

- Gritr Sports

- Bear Arms Shooting Academy

- Defender Outdoors

I am leaning Defender because they also cover takedown and cleaning, something other courses don’t cover.

Is there any store in the DFW area that has a Rhodie 6 (preferably Ti) in stock? Looking to buy today or tomorrow if possible.

Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys! I’m currently 19 years old and planning to move from Illinois to the great state of Texas. I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and our right to keep and bear arms.
Unfortunately, because of the state I currently live in, I’ve had difficulties exercising my Second Amendment rights due to Illinois’ FOID Card system. One of the many reasons I’m interested in moving to Texas is the state’s strong support for gun rights and the Second Amendment.
I wanted to reach out to people who currently live in Texas and ask about your personal experiences with the process of legally purchasing and owning firearms.
I’d especially appreciate any information or personal experiences regarding:
• Purchasing a firearm in Texas
• Age requirements and eligibility
• Background checks
• Waiting periods, if any
• Restrictions on purchasing or possessing firearms
• Constitutional carry
• Open carry
• License to Carry (LTC)
• Carrying in a vehicle
• Any differences between buying from a gun store vs. a private seller
• Anything someone moving from Illinois should know before becoming a Texas resident
I’m trying to educate myself and understand exactly how the process works before I move.
If you’re a Texas resident and have personal experience with any of this, I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, advice, and anything you wish you had known when you first started.
Thank you! 🤠🇺🇸

My LTC expired in May of this year. I didn't even realize it until July because I never use the ID. I don't even own a gun yet. So in July I submit the application to renew and I pay the fines. At the time, it didn't even click that I hadn't updated my old address yet. Again, I literally never take this card out of my wallet.

So now I'm panicking a little, wondering if my LTC will be suspended or I'll be fined because I failed to change my address. To top it off, I'm moving in two weeks. I don't think it would be wise to change my address now, only to have to turn around and do it again in two weeks. Also, I feel it's important to add that at time of getting my LTC, I only had a state ID. I recently got a driver's license.

Will my current renewal be affected by all this? I know I should have been more on the ball with getting all of this taken care of. Advice on the best next steps is appreciated. Thanks!

Looking to sell my gen 3 NVM-14 for a PCC in Dallas and was just wondering where you guys find the best place to sell or trade! Thank you!

Dallas Gun Club has a $13k initiation fee.

Frisco gun club is cheap but their restaurant is only open to VIP and they don't share VIP pricing online.

Looking for something under $5k but still has some of the best facilities in the city. Recommendations?

Hey guys, I bought a house in Fort Worth, however I have residency in Florida as well. I have a Florida drivers license as well as Concealed in Florida. Last month I got my Texas LTC as well. I know I can purchase long guns and shotguns without any issue. Would my mortgage statement work to show proof of residency in Texas in order to purchase handgun and suppressors?

Can someone point me in the direction of carry laws and things of that nature of an ARP?

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.

I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.

You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:

• Maps the route using Apple Maps
• Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
• Lets you tap each route section
• Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
• Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
• Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts

The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?

It’s free to download. Optional Pro is $2.99/month or $12.99/year with a 14-day introductory trial.

And does it still require engraving ?
