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.

That is what is required without a CHL, to obtain the CHL one has already proved that their has been continuous residency in the State for 90 days prior.

I'm a Brit with a Green Card and a CHL, and no I didn't need to show the 3 month residency when I bought my last gun - just gave them my CHL. You've proved all the necessary requirements already when you got the CHL and the FBI check should be enough. The shop is mistaken I believe but how you convince them of that is another matter.........
