Can a 17yr old have a pistol permit in Texas? A lot of states let 16yr olds have rifles, but most won’t give a permit for a pistol to any one under 21. I’m just curious about the law down in Texas. If any one can enlighten me thanks.
Pretty sure you have to be over 21 to have a handgun period. I remember the fits they had nearly 30 years ago when I showed up to shoot hunter pistol matches prior to turning 21.
You must be 21 for chl in TX. A 17 year old with a pistol around here is bad news. (unless they are defending his or her parents house)
