I live in a nice part of town, but in the past couple years we have had vandals steal a lawnmower and stuff from our garage. Last summer we saw flashlights shining in our backyard. I realized then our only protection was to turn on the lights and let our dogs out. Nothing violent, but you never know.

 GunsSo what do you have to do to legally own a gun? I live in Texas so I figure the laws aren't that strict. I'm 20, would I need a license? I'd prefer a handgun, but if I have to go rifle or shotgun that is fine. I want to go through all the right channels to get it, plus I'd make a trip to a gun range so I can safely use it and plan on learning from a pro as I have little experience.

 Re: Guns
 
 All you have to do is fill out the paperwork, wait for your background check to come back and then purchase the gun.
 
 However if you want to carry it you have to go through a concealed carry class. After the class you have to submit to carry within your county and be approved. Its easy to do but can be expensive!Comment

 Re: Guns
 
 After talking with a contractor who used to work at a gun club, IMO you really need to be trained not in how to use the gun, but how to be disciplined and react to situations correctly. If you point a loaded gun at me, I can charge you with assault. Not something to joke around with...Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

 Re: Guns
 
 Guess it depends on the gun. If your just wanting to do some deer hunting a nice shotgun or rifle should be easy as going into Bass Pro Shops and picking out the one that fits your liking.“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

 Re: Guns
 
 Well...what I was alluding to was women.
 When my wife is home alone while I'm on a 24 hour shift....she's not grabbing a Moss to blast away an intruder.
 She is comfortable with a Glock 9.
 Considering I don't really want to fill my home with weapons...I was just putting forth why some might want a handgun for dual users and purposes.

 Re: Guns
 
 Good point...and I have nothing against guns, just guns in the hands of people who don't respect them and know how to use them...nothing worse than an idiot with a gun IMOWell...what I was alluding to was women.

 You just need to fill out some paper work. It's pretty simple. My brother and law transferred my AR's and AK's to me for free.So what do you have to do to legally own a gun? I live in Texas so I figure the laws aren't that strict. I'm 20, would I need a license? I'd prefer a handgun, but if I have to go rifle or shotgun that is fine.
