I saw where this was being done to counter the "tax free" gun weekends in Louisiana.

Depends on where I am in my quest to purchase a gun (receivers count) every month for my first year back in Texas (Jan to Jan). So far I'm at 8 guns and beginning month 4... |

IMO this is just a feel good measure that doesn't do very much. It's crap that they could get this passed but there still isn't any more movement on open carry or campus carry.
Sure it's nice to save a couple bucks one random weekend, but you will probably save more just waiting for a better deal some other time during the year. |

Only on the internet could you find someone bitching about a tax cut. |

Texas does not require an out of state seller to charge Texas sales tax on online purchases by Texas residents. If that online retailer has a business presence in the state, then Texas requires the retailer to collect TX sales tax at the time of purchase. For example: -Bud's....you buy a firearm from them...........they do not collect TX sales tax. Bud's does not have a business presence in Texas. -Cabela's....you buy a firearm from the Cabelas store in Minnesota.....you'll be charged TX sales tax. Cabelas has locations in TX. But Texas (like all states with a sales tax) also has a "Use tax".............charged at the same % as sales tax. Unlike sales tax, the use tax is remitted by the buyer. If you buy that gun from Bud's, then Texas law requires you to pay Use Tax directly to the State Comptrollers Office. |

Anybody know if reloading supplies will fall into this tax holiday? Dies, powder, primers,presses? |
