100% agree.
That said.... I wish there was an easy way for a private seller to confirm the eligibility status of a private buyer... for now, an LTC is ok for me...

Re: Underage Question
With an LTC holder, no.
With a non-LTC, yes.

One time I even had an officer come out and ask what I was selling I told him. He wanted to know if he could look at the gun and I said sure. Gave him the gun and examined it and said one day I am going to buy me a 1911. Wished me good luck and turned around and walked back to the PD.Jose_in_Dallas wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 5:25 pm Does Irving PD have a designated meeting place for selling goods?

Re: Underage Question
IMO, I wouldn't sell a gun to a stranger without an FFL as an intermediary, or, unless the buyer had a carry license.
Back in NC we had a purchase permit system (now gone). In a private sale, the buyer would need to provide a purchase permit and matching ID for the sale to be legal. As a seller it was nice to have some confirmation that the buyer wasn't a prohibited person.
Of course there are other problems with having to ask for a purchase permit.
YMMV, of course.

Federal law... https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/does-cu ... n-licensee
18 to purchase shotgun or rifle, 21 for everything else... FROM AN FFL!

And here's a lawyers take on the question...May an individual between the ages of 18 and 21 years of age acquire a handgun from an unlicensed individual who is also a resident of that same state?
An individual between 18 and 21 years of age may acquire a handgun from an unlicensed individual who resides in the same state, provided the person acquiring the handgun is not otherwise prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under federal law. A federal firearms licensee may not, however, sell or deliver a firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to a person the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is under 21 years of age.
There may be state or local laws or regulations that govern this type of transaction. Contact the office of your State Attorney General for information on any such requirements.

What is The Age Requirement to Buy a Gun in Texas?
You must be 21 years old and above when buying a handgun or 18 years old and above when buying a long gun from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) under federal law. The same rules apply to buying a long gun under Texas law. Texans, however, can buy handguns once they turn 18 but only through private sales. Additionally, parents or legal guardians can give guns as gifts to minors or give them written permission to purchase a gun.
