Texas, like most states, does not require licenses for firearms.

In Texas there are hunting licenses and there are concealed carry permits, but not firearm licenses.

No license is required to OWN an ordinary firearm in Texas. To CARRY a CONCEALED firearm, you must have a license, and be 21 years of age, however, current and former members of the US Military must be at least 18 years old.

The "gun license" is known as a Firearms owner's ID Card. You must be 21. If younger than 21, you must have written consent from a parent or guardian that qualifies to have an FOID. This is administered by the Illinois State Police.

According to the Illinois state web site, in order to PURCHASE a handgun in the state, you must be 21. You must be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in ANY state.

You can possess a handgun if you are under 21 for a few reasons, such as target practice.

You have to be 21.

You can get a Firearms Owners ID under 21 with parental consent. In IL you have to be 18 to buy shotguns or rifles, you have to be 21 to own a handgun.

You can't. Unless you are an elected official or a police officer. The rest of us are SOL, regardless of age.
