article: For someone legally to sell firearms commercially, that person must have a Federal Firearms License. There are several resources online that will help you locate a licensed dealer. This includes pawn shops as well as registered gun shops. Licensed dealers are more likely to be able to assist you in finding the right firearm for whatever purpose. There is no waiting period to purchase a firearm in Texas, but you do have to show identification, and the dealer has to perform a background check. If you have a License to Carry a Handgun (LCH), you can show that, and the dealer will not need to conduct the background check. You will need to have your license with you and be able to produce it. A licensed dealer is required to have a buyer complete a federal Firearms Transaction Record, also referred to as Form 4473. To complete Form 4473, you will need to provide proof of identification and answer some questions about your eligibility to own a firearm. Licensed dealers have the resources to perform a background check on the spot, called the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). They will check your identification in at least a federal database and, perhaps, a state database as well, to verify that you are eligible. This background check will let the seller know if you have been convicted of a felony or qualifying misdemeanors that would make you ineligible to own a firearm. Due to federal laws, the individual who is purchasing the firearm must be present. A friend or relative cannot purchase a firearm for you. As long as you are found to be eligible and you pass the background check, you will be able to purchase your selected firearm. It might be helpful to check with the dealer before going to find out what forms of payment are acceptable.

article:
Warnings that are issued to an employee are generally issued following a certain progression or escalation. By sticking to the progression you can help the employee understand exactly what level of discipline they are currently receiving and just how serious the issue is. Review the following progression of employee warnings to learn if it is time for a written warning: Verbal warning Written warning Final written warning Termination of the employee. Before you issue the written warning to an employee you will want to consult your organization's disciplinary code. Make sure that the code agrees with your decision to issue a written warning. Match the severity of the issue to the disciplinary code that your organization uses before you submit your written warning. Some issues may not be very serious or are a first time occurrence with that employee. These may require a simple verbal warning. Other issues may be quite serious and could warrant a written warning, bypassing the verbal warning. These might include theft or threats of violence. Before you create a written warning you will need to collect all the relevant information regarding the employee and the issue at hand. Collecting this information will allow you to judge if the written warning is appropriate as well as allow you to write a detailed and effective warning. Learn the dates and times of any employee infractions. Detail any conversations or previous verbal warnings about this issue. Collect old documents which the employee signed, documenting their acceptance to company terms and illustrating their violation of them. Before you complete and issue your written warning you will want to speak privately with the employee in question. This meeting will allow you to further understand the situation and accurately judge if the next step is to issue a written warning to the employee. The conversation may reveal that the issue was a misunderstanding and no further action is needed. You may be able to collect more information about the incident, allowing you to better issue your written warning should it be necessary. In larger organizations it may be unclear as to who should be the one to deliver the written warning, especially if the employee has more than one supervisor or manager. Make sure that it is company policy that you are the one required to write or deliver the warning to the employee. Generally, the direct supervisor will issue the letter. In some cases, the decision to issue the written warning may be decided by a group meeting.
