I was reading through the Texas concealed handgun law booklet when I came across a statement to the effect that "people in the USA on nonimmigrant visas are not eligable to purchase a handgun and are therefore not eligable for a concealed handgun licence."
I moved here from commie Kanada as soon as I finished University and before I started purchasing firearms, I checked the ATF website which states only that "illegal" aliens are prohibited from purchasing firearms. What gives? I am currently in the US on a TN visa which they issue to medical professionals and have had no problems purchasing firearms through the NICS system and no one has ever given me a hard time because of my national origin. Anyone know anything about the laws regarding this matter?
