Went to my local PD (I live in a small Suburb outside San Antonio, Texas) for CLEO signature for a form one rather than going to the Bexar County Sheriff's Dept.
Officer calls me this morning to advise me that chief will not sign because city attorney advised him not to because Texas Penal Code says it's against the law for me to manufacture SBR...I guess the city attorney did not read any further than section (a)
Sec. 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) an explosive weapon;
(2) a machine gun;
(3) a short-barrel firearm;
(4) a firearm silencer;
(5) a switchblade knife;
(6) knuckles;
(7) armor-piercing ammunition;
(8) a chemical dispensing device; or
(9) a zip gun.
(b) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the actor's conduct was incidental to the performance of official duty by the armed forces or national guard, a governmental law enforcement agency, or a correctional facility.
(c) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the actor's possession was pursuant to registration pursuant to the National Firearms Act, as amended.
