Do you need to have a Federal Firearms License to purchase a Bushmaster A3M4 Patrolman Carbine from Academy?
No. Only if you’re a FFL dealer. If you mean do you have to go throught the National Firearms Act (NFA) paperwork necessary for a class III weapon, no-this is a semi-auto, not a machine gun. ASSAULT WEAPONS Are there limitations on assault weapons? No Texas – No state restriction on the sale or possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons. Assault weapons are as easy to buy as hunting rifles. Congress and President Bush allowed the federal assault weapons ban to sunset in 2004. You can legally purchase a long gun in Texas at 18. No special rules for “assault rifles”, according to the Brady center’s website.
