Permanent-Resident Firearm Purchase
Hey guys,
Was hoping you could help me out here. I am currently a permanent-resident, have "green card" and would like to purchase a pistol soon. I was wondering if anyone had this experience? Do the same laws and requirements apply to US Citizens and Perm Resident?
I have not seen any language in the PA Laws I have seen regarding this, but wanted to double check if you guys had any tips or anything. Will I need to bring my "green card" to the store for the purchase?

Re: Permanent-Resident Firearm Purchase
Thanks for that info! Much appreciated.
Having been here in Pittsburgh since 2000, I dont understand the reasoning behind this, but it is what it is. I feel like I am more American than at least half of the folks born here;I didnt vote any Democrats hahah.
Thanks again.

Well, you can always just go to the gun shop, make the purchase, and see what PIC says. Should be interesting.

Q: May aliens legally in the United States buy firearms?
An alien legally in the U.S. may acquire firearms if he has a State of residence. An alien has a State of residence only if he is residing in that State and has resided in a State continuously for at least 90 days prior to the purchase. An alien acquiring firearms from a licensee is required to prove both his identity, by presenting a government-issued photo identification, and his residency with substantiating documentation showing that he has resided in the State continuously for the 90-day period prior to the purchase. Examples of qualifying documentation to prove residency include: utility bills, lease agreements, credit card statements, and pay stubs from the purchaser’s place of employment, if such documents include residential addresses.
See also Item 5, “Sales to Aliens in the United States,” in the General Information section of this publication.
[18 U.S.C. 921, 922(b)(3), (d) and (g), 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.99(a)]

Re: Permanent-Resident Firearm Purchase
You don't need the 90 day proof of residence anymore. That requirement was changed. At least that's what I overheard while a gentleman with a green card was buying a gun next to me at Classic Pistol.
