You can not carry an unconcealed handgun in Texas with or without a license.
Only if you have a legal license
It depends on the state, and on what you mean. If you mean a license to carry a handgun, most, but not all states require you to be at least 21.
Virginia does not require a license to purchase a gun, nor to possess one. A Concealed Handgun License IS required to carry a concealed handgun in public places if you are not a law enforcement officer, or one of the few others permitted to carry concealed. If you are 21, can own a handgun legally, can pass a background check, and demonstrate that you have had adequate training in firearms, Virginia will issue a concealed handgun license.
Depends, if you are applying for a handgun in the state of Washington or else where.
If you mean a handgun carry permit, you can't. Illinois does not issue gun permits.
It depends on where you are. Most states no longer require a specific gun to be carried with a handgun license, but in the few that do, you could probably be arrested for carrying an illegal weapon, because techincally, you don't have a license for that particular gun.
No, depending on how the term is used. Registration means just that. Licensing can mean being licensed to carry a handgun. In most states, no registration is required, even with a license to carry.
No, you don't have to have a license.
I don't know about California, but in most states there is no official gun registration. You can carry a handgun in California if you have a California handgun permit, but I understand those are hard to obtain in some counties.
If you have a handgun carry permit, definitely. The handgun carry permit covers "any handgun that you legally own or posses."
Yes, in Texas one can carry a hand gun in the motorcycle saddlebags. A person can also carry a handgun in plain sight while traveling.
