In Wisconsin you need only be 18 years of age to possess a firearm, or even younger if you are with an adult guardian. To purchase a firearm you need to be 21 years of age at the time of purchase. Typically if you buy a firearm from a dealer you will be subject to a background check with the FBI. You will have to fill out paperwork with your SSN and other information and they will call that information in or enter it into a computer. If you are clear of a felony record or anything else that will disqualify you, you will be able to purchase the firearm. Typically there is a waiting period though, i think each state is different. In Wisconsin i believe it is 48 hours.

In Texas,

You can't have ever been convicted or have any felonies pending on your record. You can't have been convicted of Assault Family Violence, or have a protective order currently issued against you. You don't need a drivers license, but you do need some sort of valid photo ID. The address of your ID or DL must be current.
