I dont think that you will find a place that is willing to do that. It is still ATF regulated whether we like it or not. This law will change nothing. Its not like weed.

no you 100% can from my understanding. My point is even if you do that if the feds want to come in and bend you over they will and what Texas says is allowed will mean absolutely nothing.
Here's a story for you. Someone I knew had a restraining order out on an ex biz partner due to them being bi-polar. On that restraining order the State judge in her handwriting wrote "you are allowed to own and posses firearms and ammunition to protect yourself". However the ex-biz partner filed a restraining order against her in retaliation. Fast forward 6 months and some things popped off between them again and it resulted in search warrants getting served. The same girl that had a state judge write she is allowed to posses firearms was charged with federal firearms violations bc she was a "prohibited person" due to her having a restraining order out against her. The feds always win and the system is broken.
Point of the story is that you can go buy whatever you want but if you are ever caught in a bad situation the feds will have your balls in their hands bc their laws always trump state laws and there isnt a dang thing you can do about it. To me just get the stamp and sleep easy at night.
From what I understand is about this is. Texas is feeling they are on firm ground with the argument of the Feds being able to and do regulate interstate commerce. A can that is made in Texas and stays in Texas should not be interstate regulated. I believe that is the premise they are going with. I hope it happens and all is needed is a 4473 to acquire a can. But I do not think the feds will let it happen because it will give Texas more independence...and THAT. They are against.

Problem is getting one sold to you by the ffl until the law is cleared & we get a kitchen pass directly from ATF...no way am I sticking my neck out to violate federal law if ATF tells me this TX law has no standing. I'm certain the manufacture wouldn't sell them to me being an 01 as well till clarified.
I just don't see ATF letting this cash cow move forward...they aren't gonna let barn door open & lose $200 per transfer.
It sure is and I see your point but just saying something still wont stop the feds from doing you dirty every chance they get. My point is that its high risk right now to have a suppressor without the stamp. I like the direction we are headed but there is more that needs to be vetted out prior to me rolling the dice on my freedom.
