It depends on what you mean. Most, but not all, U.S. states issue carry permits for handguns and/or other weapons. In a few states, you can carry a concealed handgun or other legal weapon with no permit. See the related link for more information.

Can you carry a gun on your property unconcealed in Texas?

Actually, yes. In 44 states, it is legal to carry an unconcealed handgun, although many require a permit to do so. Some, such as Vermont and Alaska, do not. In many of those states, individual jurisdictions such as cities can prohibit the practice, but in most unincorporated areas, there is no law against carrying an unconcealed handgun. In summary, the answer depends on the jurisdiction. Concealed weapons are, of course, another issue.

It depends on what you mean. You don't have to have a license to own a gun in the U.S. except in one or two states.

For instance, in TN, it can be a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on what you are charged with. You can be charged with carrying an illegal weapon, which can be a misdemeanor, or intent to go armed, which is a felony.
