Just make sure you always carry the permits with you when you are moving the rifle from your house to wherever you are hunting or doing whatever. You don't want to be stopped and not have your permits because that will get you into trouble. 

Thanks just the answer I was looking for !

If the firearms are in cases then that's fine. Also TX is a open carry state anyway so he can open carry without any problem just like I open carry in NC as well.

Colorado is fine for open carry as well, except Denver.

 

If you do not have a concealed carry then you might have an issue carrying it safety locked up, which is weird but what's new.

 

I remember when I did my CCP, walking distance, but it would have been a violation to put it im bag in its box and walk up there.

You still need a permit. If you do not have the permit, then you'll get into trouble.

 

The OP said he had licenses, etc.

I think the point being missed here is according to Federal law. Non immigrants can not own or possess fire arms. F-1 visa is a non immigrant visa so you are in violation of federal law by owning a firearm. Now how it affects your green card application i dont know.

You need to read what you posted. The link you included says:
 

"unless the alien falls within one of the exceptions provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as: a valid hunting license or permit, "

 

The OP has a license for that.

Except for the fact that he has a valid hunting license, which is one of the exceptions to the case specifically mentioned.  (As coco8 mentioned while I was writing this... )

Yes . Thanks have a valid hunting license. Trust me I doubt my FFL would have sold me a gun if he couldn’t have. He said he has done it numerous times before to students who hunt.

I think you are right. I focused on the CCL and totally missed the hunting part.

Will owning a gun affect me in getting a green card when me and my fiancée get married? No.

Is there any questions on the forms asking about gun owner ship? It asks about training, not ownership.

 

You did not ask a question about whether or not it is legal for you to carry a firearm, because clearly you already know the answer, so I am not going to waste time answering a question that was not asked.

 

Question 49 on I-485 asked if you ever received any type of weapons training. If the answer is yes, you answer yes. If you answer yes, you are asked to provide an explanation in Part 14 of the form (last page). You may be asked about it further in the interview (if your answer is yes). Obviously, this shouldn't be a problem, since you are complying with both federal and state law.

No that would not apply to me the answer is no . Just a student that likes to go hunting . This will depend on whether or not you received "any kind of weapons training" and how you define "weapons training". I answered yes when I applied for citizenship, because I took a firearms class.

Finally , this is the best response thanks so much. Would you consider the license to carry course a ”Weapons training course per say?”

With my instructor , all we did was go over the laws and dos and Donts and did the test at the range.

The course I did went beyond the requirements for a Concealed Carry and did include Weapons Trying it would be fair to say. But I think the basic what you need to do  to get the piece of paper Colorado course does not. Mine was over 2 days and included a trip to the range. I have also done an Appleseed event if they want to be picky.

 

I went through the the K1 process a long time ago and the only thing I can be certain of is that I was not asked about anything to do with this, I was not in the armed forces but was in the Air Training Corps at school, we had to drill with Rifles and were taught how to shoot them. Well the Drill version was not operable but still a weapon.

Hi,

Curious if anybody has ever AOS or gotten a green card while owning a firearm. I have a hunting license and bought a rifle legally and am getting married in 2 months.l to my Fiancée a US citizen. Does this even come up during the interview or will this impact me? Does USCIS look at it as a funny thing to have a firearm? Does it come up during back ground checks ?

 

Thanks
