Re: Is Houston getting more violent

I don't know if it has anything to do with crime rates, but I have never seen a place, other than Harris County, that has such lackadaisical zoning regulations.

Texas law also prohibits felons from possessing firearms. If you knowingly sell to a felon or anyone else who can't legally own a firearm then you are breaking the law. That said, an individual has no legal duty nor the means to perform a background check or immigration status of a person. That is why some private sellers prefer to sell to CHL holders or people that they personally know.

Thankyou , I totally understand , What about the BILL OF SALE " NOT REQUIRED I GUESS " It still concerns me that 98% of the sales @ gun shows are
ffl dealers , The other 2% can enter into a Gun Show ? I am not a Lawmaker or a Lawbreaker Just a little confused on the private sales @ a Gun show
Thanks again for your comment .
I am not sure of your question. It doesn't matter whether or not you are at a gun show, in your house or on the street. In Texas, a non-FFL can legally sell a gun to a private individual without a background check or a bill of sale.
