Advice from FFL's please

[mikey1969]

Sorry listed the below message in another catagory ........... i feel it would be better answered in this one :

"gentlemen , first let me explain my dilemma . I am a non immigrant alien with a visa that can purchase firearms with some additional documents such as hunting license , proof of 90 day residence , TX DL & copy of I-94 card . problem has been that even if i have resided in TX for years ...... a business trip or vacation resets the clock on the 1-94 card and invalidates the 90 day requirement.

The AFT from monday has rescinded the 90 days resident rule for non immigrant aliens (with visa) and permanent residents ........ i called the NISC customer services and they told me that the deletion of 90 days residency proof also solves the problem of I-94 issue date meaning that a trip out the country will have no bearing on the decision to get a proceed from NISC during the background check. I local gunshop today told me the opposite (I-94 still needs to be 90 days) and were not willing to clarify this with NISC as i had done........... After all its NISC that interpret the ATF requirements and say yes or no !!!

I would like to know what the FFL position is on the new ruling ?"

NISC =? NICS

You're good. Not all FFLs, _especially_ ones that are gun store employees, understand the new rules.
