Thanks, Jim.
As you can see, I've been lurking here for quite some time, but I don't post to forums much. I shot my first handgun back
in October '07, so I have much more to learn than I have to contribute.

At any rate, clearly I could have made a big mistake by driving to OK or NM, for example, to pick up a pistol. As I said, I
thought that law allowed me to purchase any gun from any contiguous state. Glad you cleared that up for me.

As for long guns, last time I fired one of those was at basic training back in '65. Must admit, though, they're looking
more interesting to me lately. Might have to try one soon!

Now I'm confused. I thought that portion of the law allowed me to buy, FTF, any firearm that's legal in Texas from any seller in a contiguous state. But reading this thread it appears that it has been legal for me to complete FTF purchases from any seller in any state, as long as FTF purchases to out-of-staters are legal in that seller's state. Is that correct?

So then the purpose of this proposed law is to remove the 'contiguous state' wording from Texas law so that sellers in other states understand that the sale/transfer is not illegal for Texans.

Whew, hope I didn't confuse any others in my attempt to figure this thing out.

Thanks,
