2 weeks agoAmazing experience!
Had an incredible time at the shooting range! The instructors were professional and patient. We tried several different weapons and felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Prague.

I had never shot a gun before and the staff made me feel completely comfortable. They explained everything clearly and were very safety-conscious. A unique Prague experience!

Legal Compliance & Requirements
Important Legal Notice
Please review all legal requirements before visiting or purchasing from this location.
Age Restrictions
Federal law requires individuals to be 21 years of age or older to purchase handguns, frames, and receivers from a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL). For long guns (rifles and shotguns), the minimum age is 18. Texas state law aligns with these federal minimums.
Background Check Requirements
All firearm purchases from Desert City Firearms require a mandatory NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) background check, as per federal law. Certain exemptions apply, such as for individuals holding a valid Texas License to Carry (LTC/CHL).
Prohibited Persons
Federal law strictly prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals who are convicted felons, subject to a domestic violence restraining order, dishonorably discharged from the military, unlawful users of controlled substances, or otherwise legally disqualified from possessing firearms. Desert City Firearms rigorously adheres to these regulations.

State & Local Regulations
Texas law permits the open carry of handguns by individuals with a valid License to Carry (LTC) and constitutional carry for eligible individuals. There are no state-level firearm registration requirements or magazine capacity restrictions in Texas. Desert City Firearms operates in full compliance with all Texas state laws.
Safe Storage Recommendations
While Texas does not have a specific state law mandating safe storage of firearms, Desert City Firearms strongly advocates for responsible and secure firearm storage practices. We recommend storing all firearms unloaded and locked, separate from ammunition, to prevent unauthorized access, theft, and accidental discharge.
