In Texas, there's no such thing as a license for a rifle, if it's a semi-auto.

No you do not! You will only need a license and valid Foid card if you are actually in possession of a firearm in the field. I would make sure you wear hunter orange so you will be visible to all!

You can buy a rifle 18+ and handgun 21+. You don't need a licence to OWN a gun, just to conceal carry. Your gun dealer will be able to walk you through registration and any other legal issues.

To legally own a sub machine gun you have to have a permit for it specifically.  You would have had to pay the fee to legally transfer it to your name, and have a copy of the transfer paperwork and also your permit to aquire the weapon.\n\nyou can review the specific laws of ky at\n\nwww.packing.org\n\nThe trouble with the machine gun in real life use, is the ability to pull it fast enough and use it in an emergancy..  I can think of many other high capacity clips for various other semi autos that would be a much better self defense weapon.\n\nSmall enough to be carried on you, (or it is of no use)\nenough rounds to get you away from the situation or to a place you have more rounds stored.\nGood stoping power ( does not have to be the best)

RPGs your allowed to own legally, and if your licensed to, you can legally own plastic grenades, (much waiting involved with the feds on waiting lists.) anything that’s considered a weapon, and can be considered "fully automatic" unless its a car, its illegal in any case.  unless your a secret squirrel for the government, they're going to have a pretty big problem with finding out you even want one.  (but, I don’t really plan on contacting anyone about this question, or any question I read on here, so duh.)  \n\nsilencers innately affect the accuracy of a gun, so a silencer on anything, especially something with a short barrel like that of a pistol, is going to severely affect the accuracy.  you will not find an accurate pistol like the one you speak of, the barrel is just too short to make any bullet accurate.  but if you try your local pawn shop, you'll be sure to find a good ol' regular one.  you can pick up a 50 cal from your local army surplus, however, it will be missing some key components that are pretty hard to reproduce. if anyone does find out that you somehow managed to arm this kind of weapon, they would raid your house just to confiscate it.   \n\nhonestly, I know somebody like you.  he owns like 20 guns.  (none of which are capable of blowing a hole in anything any smaller than a foot wide) even a German pistol from world war 2 with a Nazi sign on it. (its pretty old, but it is a piece of history)  except for he doesn’t have the balls to pull the trigger when he needs to.  its pretty sad.

Assuming that you bought the firearm legally you can always  contact your local law enforcement agency. Make sure you don't have any outstanding warrants and that you are of the correct age.

Both the XM8 and the OICW have been scraped. The problem of these to models of weapons was really cost vs. benefits. Simply put, the benefits of putting these models of weapons into production just wasn't enough to make up for the cost. All of the benefits of these models can be replicated by add-ons to the current weapons platform, the M4A4. However, The SCAR has recently been put into service as an SF weapons platform. Major selling point was the ability to convert from 5.56 to 7.62. Thats all i know hope it helps. HOOOAAAHHH!

easy, move to a state where it is legal to own one, and buy one that is legally registered as a full auto weapon, that would be a class 3 weapon and its going to cost you

You can't sell a firearm to a private person without going through a dealer. \n\nGo here:\n\nhttp://ag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs.htm\n\nAnd pay particular attention to #14.

18 years old, not convicted of a felony, not been in a mental institution, US resident, not addicted to narcotics.  there is a "yellow sheet" you fill out when making the purchase.  there are 11 questions pertaining to the above that you must answer.\n\na military rifle should be the same, as long as it is a semi-auto.

Wait...you signed a contract KNOWING you weren't going to abide by it?\n\nAnd... the answer is YES.  They, the property management, CAN place restrictions in the lease.  Depending upon how the lease reads EXACTLY the key to this restriction is the word "loaded".  Meaning you can keep an unloaded gun with a clip or speed loader nearby - It will be hard to prove either way.

nope.\n\nex felons in the u.s. are not allowed to own or be in control of any firearm.\n\n(Edit: As a side note in reponse to an answer given after mine, in most states ex felons ARE allowed to vote after completion of their sentence.)

He can once you obtain all the proper permits to own such a weapon. You will need to hold a FFL and then apply. It Ain't easy but it can be done if you have a clean record .

Actually, spartanerik, the XM8 program was cancelled. The M4A1 is a good rifle, but I like the M16A4 better. It has a little more power and accuracy than the carbine, and makes for a pretty good sniper's weapon, in a pinch. (With optics, of course)
