The Texas Penal Code defines firearms as devices designed to launch a projectile using explosive force. This definition is quite broad and includes various types of weapons. For example, it covers not only traditional handguns and rifles but also shotguns, certain types of antique firearms, and even some improvised devices like homemade guns. This wide-ranging definition ensures that the law can apply to many different forms of weaponry that operate on this basic principle of using explosive force to fire a projectile.
In Texas, the laws governing the ownership of firearms and the requirements for carrying them concealed are distinct but interconnected, emphasizing the need for lawful handling and usage.
Owning a Firearm: Generally, Texas law allows individuals to own firearms without requiring a specific license for mere possession in their homes or places of business.
Concealed Carry: Carrying a concealed firearm in Texas requires a License to Carry (LTC). To obtain an LTC, applicants must meet several criteria, including completing a training course, passing a background check, and meeting age and eligibility requirements.
Illegal Possession: It’s illegal to possess a firearm under certain conditions, such as if a person has been convicted of a felony or domestic violence misdemeanor, or is subject to a restraining order for family violence.

Federal prosecutions of gun violations encompass a wide array of charges, from falsifying information to obtain firearms to engaging in unauthorized selling or manufacturing. The severity of these offenses highlights the federal government’s rigorous enforcement of firearms regulations.
Beyond the well-known charges lie less frequent but equally grave violations such as illegal possession of automatic weapons, strawman purchases, and obliteration of serial numbers. These offenses illustrate the depth of legal restrictions surrounding firearm ownership and the critical need for adherence.
The process of purchasing a firearm is laden with legal obligations, including the accurate disclosure of one’s criminal history. Violations often lead to legal actions including forfeiture, where firearms and related assets can be confiscated by the government. Non-compliance is a serious offense, and the consequences reflect the serious nature of the crime.
Ammunition: Large quantities of ammunition or specialized types that were involved in the transaction.
Accessories: This could include items such as scopes, holsters, and magazines.
Financial assets: Money used in or gained from illegal transactions might also be seized.
