Okay...
I need a little help here. (For clarity, I’m in Texas).
I understand that the lower is the part of the gun that needs to be “FFL-ed” if bought through a dealer.
I also understand that if I buy a pistol or a rifle or any other gun in a private sale, there is no requirement for any FFL involvement.
Can someone explain to me the difference between buying a pistol in a private sale and buying the lower receiver for an AR-15 in a private sale?
Thanks.
None. No difference. You are clear to proceed.
I can’t speak for Texas as I don’t know the gun laws there. But I do know that I have a relative in Houston that can not buy a firearm due to a DUI conviction. Just going by that I would think that Texas has pretty strict gun laws.
