How old do you have to be to lgeally carry and possess a Gun in the state of texas?

need to know for a news article

Answers:
In the state of Texas, you must be 18 to purchase a gun. Kids a lot younger than 18 can posess a gun, however; I can't tell you how many guys get guns (usually something like a .22) for their birthday when they turn 12 in Texas.

21
If you older than a fetus you can own 12 guns or less.
I don't even want to know why you want to carry a firearm in Texas, but every possible question regarding the Texas Concealed Handguns law can be found on the Texas Department of Public Safety (included below).

Specifically regarding age:
"Q: If I am only 20 years old, can I take the proficiency class and still get a license when I turn 21?
A: It's best not to take the course more than six months before your 21st birthday so that your proficiency certificate is current. Your application may not be turned in to the DPS until your 21st birthday."

bottom line: 21
Hi. I believe it's 21. The answer was acquired from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
you never said what kind of gun. i have to assume you are referring to a handgun/ the ccw permit has to be at least 21.there are no age limits on who can own a gun.someone else can buy the gun and give it to them.the purchase age is 21
