B.) can i legally purchase a gun for myself (unlicenced or licecned, no matter what kind; rile or handgun)

i have never committed any type of documented offence or crime.

Answer 1

A) Yes, you have the right to defend yourself.

B) No, you cannot legally purchase any type of firearm as a minor.  You cannot possess any type of firearm without the written permission of your mother AND are under the supervision of an adult.

Answer 2

In TX, you can legally fire a gun, however your access to a gun is going to get your parent a fine for allowing a juvenile access unless they are home, ie: supervising you.

Juveniles may fire long guns and handguns while under the supervision of an adult guardian.

No, you must be 18 to purchase a long gun and 21 to purchase a handgun in TX.
