Point of curiosity. I'm not from Houston, and the only two Houston-area gun shops I know about are Carter's Country and Fountain Firearms (near my sister's house). I've bought ammo at both but never bought a gun from either. What's wrong with Carter's Country?

Carter's has an in house rule prohibiting the sale of AR and AK rifles to any under the age of 21. It may apply to tactical style shotguns, too, but I can't remember for certain. Why Bill Carter the owner has implemented the rule I haven't a clue, but I personally don't hold it against them. Kind of like Wal Mart no longer selling handguns wouldn't prevent me from going there. I try to give the local guys some of my money and Carter's has Federal Premium Ammo in just about any caliber and bullet weight and type for hunters at competitive prices.

Welcome to the forum and to the great state of Texas. A lot of good suggestions here. You may want to peruse pawn shops as well. Sometimes you'll stumble across a good deal. If you are on the SE side of Houston there's a group of us that meet on the first Friday of each month at Kelley's Country Cookin' in Pearland, 2933 East Broadway Street (F.M.518, Pearland, TX 77581). August's meeting is next week on the 2nd. The west side of town has a group that meets as well, but I'm not certain what day.
