BATF's official response stated that it stays because it's a federal rule, and it has to be asked in two parts.

As firearms instructors (NRA or our own stuff) we have to be wary of ITAR issues.

Agree, not for LTC as drawn up by the state.

So no, wouldn't be weapons training?

Thanks

No, not weapons training. It's to check a box off in a licensing scheme. We do test if you're proficient in the usage of a firearm, but we're not training how to you use it. Could be a gray area, but RSD's answer should suffice.

One of the questions on the from was "Have you ever received any military,para military or weapons training"? , so I was wondering would having a LTC count as "weapons training". I called USCIS and a lady didnt give me a definitive answer as to if it was. I called DPS CHL center and the gentleman told me that it wouldn't be weapons training. Just was curious as to what you guys thought

I had to answer "Yes" to that question due to my background and it didn't hinder my Green Card approval - but an LTC isn't weapons-training at all, to my mind.

Do you mind stating the name of or what form asked such a question?

I ask out of simple curiosity.

Thanks!

No problem.

Purely out of curiosity, I googled “Form I485 “Adjustment of status””, and I’m assuming you’re talking about this: https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/adjustment-of-status? Not that it matters I suppose, but why on earth would the gov’t want to know if you’d had any formal weapons training, as part of an immigration process? They strike me as unrelated matters.

They are hoping that potential terrorists will confirm that they had received weapons training from Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. You know... so that they can monitor them after they grant their legal status.
