I have a minor (17) that wants to purchase one of my handguns. He says he can provide parental consent. Legal or not? I'm getting mixed info online.

There is no minimum age to possess firearms under Texas law. Texas law prohibits intentionally or knowingly selling, renting, leasing, or giving or offering to sell, rent, lease, or give any firearm to any child younger than age 18. However, it is an affirmative defense to this offense that the parent or the person having legal custody of the minor had given written permission for the sale or, if the transfer was other than a sale, the parent or person having legal custody had given effective consent. Federal age restrictions impose stricter limits.
Federal law provides exceptions for the temporary transfer and possession of handguns and handgun ammunition for specified activities, including employment, ranching, farming, target practice and hunting.
In summery, I would not even though a prescient has been sent. I tend to not want to touch the electric fence.

You don't want to be part of a media sting, or worse a legal sting operation and have some prosecutor and/or judge make you an example
