I am a bit confused on the laws pertaining to selling a firearm in Texas.
Federal law states that it is unlawful to sell a handgun to a person under 21. Everything I have seen regarding state law in Texas says 18 to buy a firearm.
Here is an excerpt from a NRA-ILA quick synopsis guide for Texas.
Does that mean I can legally give or sell my 19 year old nephew a pistol, but he just can't buy one from an FFL until he is 21?
I'm confused.
