Hello guys. LI'm a non-immigrant alien, and a texas resident of 10+ years. I've done my homework and according to federal and state law, I should be able to purchase a firearm if I have a hunting license.

I tried Academy, Cabellas (Bass Pro Shop now, I guess), and a local store called Frisco Gun Club, but I was politely turned away by all of them because they said it was their store policy for me to at least have a green card, despite my EAD having a USCIS number they can run for the background check.

One of the clerks informed me that if i had an LTC, they could process it faster and like the hunting license it's a bit of a "loophole" but I have not heard of this.

Do you guys know any stores that accept EAD's or if there is any other way I can go about purchasing my firearm? Thank you so much.

I did my LTC online and need to go in person to do the range test. Reached out to a bunch and going price is like steadily $65-100 but I read to not pay over $60. Ended up saying heck with it, and called like 20+ people. Not sure if this will help anyone but here's a few people in DFW that charge $50 or less. Mods pls delete if not allowed. My first post here (of many hopefully).

If anymore get back to my voicemails tomorrow under $50, I'll edit the post.

Just a hypothetical question. Genie gives you the option type.

Would y’all rather have a cheap gun with expensive accessories (Palmetto state armory with holographic, IR laser, magnifier, etc…) or an expensive gun with cheap optics (Daniel Defense with tapped Walmart laser and $20 irons)?

So I have a friend that got pulled over and arrested 2 yrs ago, he got a felony but still hasn’t gone to court for it and hasn’t been convicted, my question is can he still handle a firearm? I know if you are convicted of a felony you can’t, but his case hasn’t made it that far yet.

Is the Sig P365 a good option for self defense?

- QRP2 mount with spacer

I completed my deferred adjudication about 5 years ago, I know I have to wait 10 years from the day it was signed to be able to get a chl. My question is since Texas is constitutional carry then can I carry concealed now? I’ve never had an issue purchasing firearms since being off probation but I’ve read different answers on the topic. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Hey guys just wanted to pop in here and ask a quick question. I recently moved from Fl to Tx and was wondering what the transfer process for my concealed carry license looks like. I already have my new Texas DL so I’m assuming I have to transfer my FL ccw to Tx correct?

Hey everyone, so for the last year I been really into guns this is maybe because my dad love guns and I wanna open guns store with guns from Czechia because I’m from Czechia republic and I will make here gunsmith school and I wanna sell Czechia guns in Texas so I just wanna ask how do you think this will preform in USA

Hey y'all!

I’ve been working on a major update to TX Carry Compass, including a new way to add business photos that provides useful context without preventing anyone from contributing.

Here’s how it works:

• You can submit a new business from anywhere—there’s no longer a distance requirement.
• Photos selected from your phone are labeled “Uploaded from the gallery.”
• If you’re within 300 feet of the business, you can use the app’s built-in camera.
• Photos taken this way are labeled “Taken at the business.”
• The app checks distance, location freshness, and GPS accuracy when you press the shutter.
• Your exact location and location EXIF are never uploaded.
• Trusted photos still go through normal moderation; they aren’t automatically approved.

This will work when adding a new business, adding a photo to an existing business, or attaching photo evidence to an update request. The goal is to give the community and moderators better context while still letting people contribute older photos or submit information remotely.

I’ve also added a new public community chat where users can discuss Texas carry laws, signage, businesses, app updates, and other relevant topics. It includes reporting and moderation tools to help keep it useful.

Now, when you send feedback, I also ask for permission to contact you regarding what you're suggesting/reporting.

Right now this version is being reviewed by Apple and it should be available soon.

For Android users: the Android app is currently being rebuilt from the ground up. It’ll be available soon with full iOS parity, including:

• Proximity alerts for nearby reported signage
• The new trusted-photo system
• Public community chat
• Business submissions and updates
• A new, much nicer UI

This is a community-powered project, so feedback is always appreciated. What other features would make the app more useful when you’re out checking businesses or reporting signage?

from my understanding this has already passed just not federal so FFLs don’t really follow it. My question is as a person between the age 18-21 will I ever be able to walk into a gun store and buy A handgun or even ammo for it? Few handguns I want that you can’t really find in private sale and it’s hard to wait lol.

Looking to shoot a competition in the next year that requires carbine shots out to 700/800 yards. Anyone know of a good long range carbine class? Ideally in the houston area, but ok to travel to the hill country if there’s good options.

Hello I’m in the DFW area and i wanted to see if anyone would know a store around here that has this metal carry comp in midnight bronze. Also if you have this color way drop your build. Thanks if you know any places

As the title says I am wanting to get information on concealed carrying in the state at 19. I purchased a rifle and the gun dealer said that if I could get my LTC and CC but could not buy a gun from the dealership. I was talking to a police officer and he said that I could concealed carry without a license but could not buy a gun at all.

Im very curious as online and in person I’m getting mixed opinions on what I can and can’t do

At the moment I do not own a handgun, and I do not have a license to carry. I am willing to get my LTC

Hey everyone!

First, thanks to the mods for letting us share this.

We’re a small team of gun enthusiasts from Central Texas, and for the past six months we’ve been building a new Texas marketplace called GunList.us.

The idea came from our own experience buying and selling locally. We wanted a simple, modern place where Texas buyers and sellers can find each other without listing fees, commissions, or unnecessary complications.

Private listings are free and always will be. We don’t process payments or get involved in the transaction. Much like Texas Gun Trader, we simply give buyers and sellers a place to connect and handle the deal directly.

A few things we wanted to do better:

• Posting a listing is free and only takes a couple of minutes.
• Results are sorted by both distance and freshness, so nearby and newer listings are easier to find.
• You can follow a search and get notified when something matching it is posted.
• Your contact information stays private. We don’t publicly show your email or phone number to guests, search engines, scrapers, or bots.
• We also built an interactive Texas FFL map to help people find nearby dealers and transfer locations.

We’re also considering adding police stations to the map as safer places to meet. Would that be useful?

We know a marketplace is only useful when it has enough listings and active users, and right now we’re starting from zero. We’re not pretending otherwise.

We’re serious about growing GunList and improving it over time, but we also want to hear from the people who actually buy, sell, and trade locally.

What would make you regularly browse, cross-post, and come back to a newer marketplace?

The site is still new, so honest feedback, criticism, bug reports, and feature ideas are all welcome.

And if you already have something listed somewhere else, feel free to cross-post it on GunList. It only takes a couple of minutes.

If you have several listings and would like some free help moving them over, just let us know. We’d be happy to help.

Thanks!

Anyone in the west houston area or San antonio who do custom builds on this for a good price?

I trying to get aluminium handguard quote for a PCC I have. I have a cad already designed and interested in getting something nice for this baby. Local in Houston if y'all have recommendations

Does anyone know where to shoot 5.56 for extremely cheap?

Preferably free, and near DFW. I know there’s some state land you can shoot on, but not sure where to look it up exactly.

Anyone have problems getting registered? They won't register my real email but they approved a fake account from my friend. Any ideas?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a good everyday carry handgun besides Glock (brand or specific pistol)?

Tired of paying shipping costs online. What's a good place to get ammo locally that stocks some harder to find cartridges like 6ARC, 10mm etc.

Hey so I’m moving back home to Texas in a few weeks after doing 5 years in the Navy, and I’m wanting to buy a rifle, however I have a Washington state license since that’s where I was stationed. Do I need to get a new license entirely, or would documents such as my separation orders meet the requirements for Texas residency, or will any other documents do you guys recommend to meet the requirements? Another note the rifle I’m wanting to buy is a Springfield armory M1A which is illegal in Washington state, but have no intention of returning the rifle to Washington state.
