Are you a U.S. citizen? If you are a Resident Alien, what guns are you allowed to buy? I thought only citizens could possess arms in the USA. Please enlighten us.

Again, welcome to this site.

Adam...a resident alien can buy and use firearms in the US. Even Mexicans and middle eastern types. But they probably can't take 'em home.

I am not a citizen yet, you guys want over $700.00 for that privalige But I am a permanent resident. To answer your question, from what Im told I can own and take home a handgun. I just need to go through all the usual background checks and be a permanent resident. I already have a rifle and a shotgun at home, and now I cant wait to get a nice easy to handle hand gun, something like a .38 nothing too big.

Speaking of size I saw a 500 in the gun shop the other day, you would need a tripod or forklift truck just to carry that monster.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
