Re: Green Card holder with a CHL

I supplied a copy of my Brit passport and a copy of my green card when I went through the CHL application process. When going to the show it would not have occurred to me that they would have actually wanted to see the card. I have now bought a gun from a web broker and it is going to be sent to an FFL for pickup. I am going to take my green card with me and see what they have to say. I will only offer it if asked. Maybe my experience is a lesson to be learned for me and other green card holders.

Excellent, hope it all works good for you. and yes we at times go off on tangetal discussions. British citizens do have a bit of a better time getting perm cards along with other english speaking countries. I do think that earlier I did say that it may just be the person selling the item, the law doesn't preclude them asking just makes it unnecessary and without merit.

DPS does however do the special DL for temporary visitors with H1B and student visas, from what I have seen.

you are correct Permanant resident status doesn't, but you have to have a green card that lasts I think 5 years then get your perm card and there is an application you have to do and a background check and all kinds of stuff between them, A guy I work with had to do all this stuff, he has lived here for about 8 or 9 years because they keep extending his first card, he now has his permanant resident alien card. we were talking about all the hoops he had to go thru, he said it was awful, he is from Honduras , minimally considered us satellite state. and yes he has firearms but he told me it was hades getting them

But you see this has nothing to do with a "gun show", its a private sale but there making it out to be about gun shows.

I agree totally, they are using the fact that a person can rent a table at a gun show and sell his toys without any requirement to call the gestapo about the sale. yes its a crock full but it is what it is

Re: Green Card holder with a CHL

I think he was being over cautious, having the CHL should be enough, however the BATFE could give him a hard road to travel should he not see the actual card. specially if your card is a first time resident alien card and close to expiring. not sure if you have your permanant card or you were still in the initial period
