Requirement to pruchase handgun in Texas as (Conditional) pe

Good to know. The DPS FAQ suggests otherwise but I'm glad it worked out for you Mikey.

Yes the wording of the DPS is not the best as it suggests that non immigrant aliens are generally prohibited from gun purchases and therefore not elligable for a CHL. A hunting license makes the exception legal and the DPS does even have a section on its website for us non immigrant aliens and the documentation necessary. Must say i am happy to have mine :-)

You do have to have a current ID & be a resident to Texas. I've never heard of showing records going back to such & such bit ive never been an out of state buyer. So maybe this guy did not not like you for some reason but I would go to another store & not give him the honor of your business. I still have never heard of that but it may be the law for out of state I dunno

Or I've never heard of such

Never heard of what? Conditional Permanent Residents? Handguns? The laws for A buying B?

Does anyone have an update on the relaxation of the 90 Day rule for non immigrant aliens ????? I am a non immigrant alien in such a position and have recently obtained my CHL ..... but this (it seems) does not aid my purchases ..... i travel frequently for work and often leave the US for a few days , meaning my I94 card is always changing and the 90 day continuous residence is always interrupted.

No changes yet from the ATF, sorry.

The change is in place as of a couple of weeks back, according to the FFL at Cabela's. I went with utility bills in-hand, as usual, for a purchase this weekend and was informed they are now not required.

Also, I wasn't subjected to The Walk of Shame either, they actually trusted me to carry my own newly purchased and boxed firearm through the store by myself this time. I thought I'd really push the envelope on the new policy and let my 5yr old carry the box for a few steps :-)

I guess its taking a while for them to get updated forms out to everyone. My local FFL has the new forms
and no longer requires the utility bills either.
