Permanent-Resident Firearm Purchase

[zlaya]

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?

you will need three months proof of residency
utility bills with your name and address in PA, other than that, your good to go

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that you have to be a citizen to vote?

You are correct. You DO need to be a citizen to vote. However, the OP did NOT say he voted. He only said he did NOT vote for any Democrats.

That is correct. I did not vote unfortunately, but if I would have, it wouldn't have been for any democrats.

On what do you base this?

(Sincere question, it's something I don't recall reading about before.)

Actually I was told the same buy a gentlemen at Ace. It struck me as off, so I wanted to confirm here as well.

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