Man, I think I am gonna LOVE Texas!
We also don't have any additional restrictions on Class III ownership - Federal laws only. The zip code with the largest per-capita number of Class III's in the US is Highland Park, just north of Downtown Dallas. #2 is University Park, right next door. IIRC, #3 is Garland.
We're also a shall issue state for CCW; reciprocity is widespread and getting wider. And you can open carry long arms here.
