Quora is a horrible source to rely on for this.
Not sure about Texas, but as a Canadian in California on H1b I was able to buy a gun after completing a hunter education course and getting a hunting license. A fellow Canadian on TN did the same.
Hi Peter, I am a Canadian citizen in the US on a TN temporary non-immigrant visa. I live with a girlfriend, who is quite interested in marksmanship. As I understand it, non-immigrant resident non-citizens are essentially barred from owning firearms. This is fine; I don't feel the need to own any. But my concern is about my girlfriend. I have heard it said from some firearms enthusiast friends of mine that, because me…
Strange that some constitutional protections apply to non-citizens whilst the second amendment does not.
People holding, eg., H1Bs would not be subject to this constraint as far as I know

Get a hunting licence. Then you fall under an exemption for legal noncitizens,it seems: https://www.quora.com/Can-a-foreigner-buy-a-gun-in-the-Unite...

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. Is there any two-year home residency requirement on the J-1 holder's visa (check DS-2019)? That may affect your ability to switch to H-1B (or any other visa).
There is, but it does not apply to me.

It's not about citizen vs noncitizen, it's about the fact that I'm on a non-immigrant visa specifically. People holding, eg., H1Bs would not be subject to this constraint as far as I know

Why is that?
By default J-2 visa holders have to leave the country? Short answer - my spouse and I do not fulfill the main conditions they specify for having to leave the country after the visa expires.

Ok, my understanding was that (again, I’m not lawyer, this is not legal advice!), if there is a two-year home residency requirement on the J-1 holder’s visa, then both J-1 and J-2 holders cannot switch to another visa before you have either (a) resided for two years in the country of residence, or (b) were granted a Section 212(e) waiver approved by USCIS. But perhaps that’s different for some J-1 categories.
