I have a question, I've been told (and it has been done) that for me as a non citizen but legal resident alien, the background check needs to be "called in" and cant be done using the inline system.
That results in a long wait (24h last time) which is somewhat very inconvenient if wanting to purchase a firearm further from home.
There is nothing on my record or anything and at cabelas I was told that they have to do this with permanent residents or the ATF gets mad???
I desperately tried to find the law regarding this but come up with nothing.
Can anyone who knows this stuff enlighten me what this is about and why I am being discriminated like this? Does a "declaration of intend to become a citizen" change this?
