If I had friends or family come to visit Texas from any other state, such as Oklahoma, or Georgia, and we went shopping here in Texas, they could buy a handgun from an FFL here directly even though they are not a Texas resident.
Pardon my ignorance please, but presently if I am out-of-state i.e. living at our vacation home Up North for several months, I can't walk into a gun shop there and buy a gun for our local use e.g. protection? That I'd have to bring such from TX?
Sorta' correct. You can buy long guns out of state but not handguns. Supposedly, that law just got changed?
