Texas gun laws are more restrictive than many other states. We’re working on it, and I don’t want to discourage you from coming, but as far as gun rights, you could do better than Texas.
I think Arizona is number one for gun rights; open carry allowed, no permit required for concealed carry.

Arizona and Alaska best.

I have never seen a ‘non-fully automatic’ gun in an advertisement that I could not buy ‘as is’ in a Texas gun store. I can walk out with it as soon as the paper work is done, no waiting for the Fed’s to do a check since I have a CHL (now a LTC).
From decision to buy to heading to the range is usually less than an hour unless the “Super Gun Salesman” has given another sales pitch...
There are some restrictions on where we can carry, but I personally don’t have any problems with them.
BTW, I am a Benefactor Member of the NRA and a life member of the other major gun groups... I am not a ‘sportsman’ hunter...
